DOUBLE BLIND

[vivariummods]

Shortly after the conversation with Zero ends, Zero opens the doors of the Garden and allows everyone to leave. However, the rest of the warehouse isn't better than the Garden: The lights are still off, leaving everyone surrounded in darkness. The temperature just keeps on dropping, reaching near freezing point. The air feels more and more polluted, making it difficult to breathe without coughing, and nothing seems to be working as they should be. The electronic doors refuse to open without any power source, cutting off access to the cafeteria and dorms. At the very least, Zero has managed to open all the doors leading to puzzle rooms and has informed the group that new areas are now accessible to them, but they're on their own should they want to enter any other rooms. Before the screens in the Garden turn off, Zero finally informs them that a new feature has been unlocked on their bracelets: any test subject wearing a bracelet may communicate with one another with the bracelet acting as a communication device. Holding onto the left button will enable the line to open just like a walkie-talkie. As long as test subjects are in the warehouse, they will have no troubles speaking with one another. What if they wish to talk to Zero? Zero's time is not be riffled, but they were generous enough to appear whenever anyone found a screen and pressed the on button a total of three quick successions. And with that, Zero disappears from the grids and finally leaves everyone in complete darkness, leaving only one last piece: "Best of luck, Test Subjects." BASIC INFO ✖ MISSIONS ✖ MINGLE

Oh for goodness's sake, are you two done? [he's never been more disgusted in his entire life probably. then:]

I think your mop's a little- [he gestures to it. you know, on fire. better take care of that before more puns are to be had.]

Sometimes you've just gotta put your foot down. Or put down the feet of traveling robots, whatever.

[she flips the mop to stomp out the flames; probably won't be that useful for floor cleaning but you take what you can get in a murder warehouse]

So...that was certainly something.

It's your sole mission to make the worst jokes ever, isn't it?

[ okay, jake's done now (probably). ]

Just when you think you're getting used to everything, something new happens. [ He goes over to check out what happened to Calhoun's paw. It seems all charred up. ] Looks like we're done here. Let's go.

[this face, you're both horrendous individuals.]

Well Zero's not going to like that. Let's hope he's less soporil happy than his... whatever Calhoun is. Worker, I suppose.

[you know you get a kick out of it, hershel, just step on up and give it a try]

Partial charcoal briquette, you might say.
