A' L L U K I N - chapter 5

[- ak -]

• Cave Johnson here, just saying I approve of these recent developments. You might not want to sink your canines into those though, they could be explosive. We don't know. Anyway the eggheads tell me you should take a look at that equipment over there and see if you can find anything. Oh, and you're reading this in my voice.

  Cave Johnson, we're done here.



According to the note that Doctor Dodd dropped, why would those sweet scrumptious lemons be highly explosive that could burn down houses? And Ener is very glad of your legendary approval :3


But what EQUIPMENT are you referring to? There's lot of equipments in the Lab.

• 
Command: Make some lemonade in a very sciency way and then keep it in a container in your inventory. You should be able to find a closed container in the lab somewhere.



Good idea as Ener begin to look for CONTAINER and WATER by going through the CUPBOARDS and DRAWERS. Awesome, he found three more items!



DA DA DA DUNNNN!!!

Ener acquired... a STRANGE PIPE!



DA DA DA DUNNNN!!!

Ener acquired... a BOTTLE OF (( CF3SO3H ))



DA DA DA DUNNNN!!!

Ener acquired... a BOTTLE OF (( H2O ))





Oh gah... Ener couldn't understand the elaboration of scientific jargons! Ener is smart, but not that smart as he couldn't understand what those scientific formula and names are commonly referred as.


Ener looked through all of possible areas in the Lab and found no other closed container and water either.

• Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid is among the strongest acids known, and will cause tissue damage the moment it comes in contact with your fuzzy hide, so keep it capped. Hydrogen monoxide is water, which is not going to sear your flesh into nonexistence, so if you like take a sip and hope it's clean. Only if you're really thirsty though.

  Also, I'm referring to all the lab equipment, mainly the stuff stacked on the drawers. There's a lot so we might as well save time by getting all our observing done in one sweep.

• COMMAND: ENER: Check the items on the shelves high on the wall too (if you can reach those)

Mr. Officer

• Ener: Show Daniel the Idems and Notes you found, and see if he can knows anything about them.

I certainly did read it in his voice, haha.

  
  
  
  It should've been the Cave Johnson "lemons" quote, just saying >.>

  COMMAND: Ener: Ask yourself what happened to the eyes in the wall right around the time you pushed the red button.

Ener: Show Daniel the Idems and Notes you found, and see if he can knows anything about them.

Hydrogen monoxide is water, which is not going to sear your flesh into nonexistence, so if you like take a sip and hope it's clean.



And so Ener returned to Daniel with stacks of NOTES and two pressing questions.



<ENER>

So what do you think about the notes?


<DANIEL>

Seen it.

Seen it.

Seen it.

Seen it.

SEEN IT.

I been exploring this place long before you and Maddox and that other creature of your kind arrive here. We already know who Doctor Dodd, Arron Kenneth, and the Manager are.


<ENER>

But what about the Experiments? And the Technology?


<DANIEL>

Ok, there's something that you and Maddox should know. I remember before the Situation occurred, I asked the Manager about the specification of the Technology. He won't give it to any of us, except for those who have secured access to the documentations of the Experiments. Those who does are high-ranked personnel.


<ENER>

HOLD IT!!! The implication of your resurfaced memory suggested that almost NONE of us knew what the Technology is all along?!


<DANIEL>

Indeed, Obvious Sleuth.


<ENER>

Looks like I will have to drill into Quo's head for that one. Ok, what are those TWO BOTTLES that I found?


<DANIEL>

Found it in the Lab, eh? Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid in the GREEN BOTTLE is one of most powerful acid you can get. DON'T OPEN IT. And other one, the BLUE BOTTLE of hydrogen monoxide is what we lovingly referred to as water. I mean... you really can't go anywhere without H2O. You didn't know that?


<ENER>

GAAHHH!!! I really need to remember my Science of Chemistry... Thanks, I am going back to the Lab.


• looks like time to make lemonade to me

attempt to fabricate some lemonade

  



  Command: Make some lemonade in a very sciency way and then keep it in a container in your inventory.



Time to give in to popular demands! People want their lemonades fresh, for gosh darning sake!









After scientifically brewing for good 5 mintues...

Ener created a BATCH OF BOTTLED LEMONADES!!! Sourness and tangy bliss are not part of chemical formula, but are possibly expected side-effects so PLEASE drink responsibly.

• COMMAND: Ener: Ask yourself what happened to the eyes in the wall right around the time you pushed the red button.

What eyes in the wall?


As his KEEN INSTINCTS blazing in all sort of superstitious paranoia, Ener slowly turning around to face whatever is behind him.





Ok, FALSE ALARM. Nothing to see here. Why are you all so worked up over something insignificant? Ener got something better to do other than looking after his shoulders for some nonsense ghosts.


Scaredy-cat.


• Also, I'm referring to all the lab equipment, mainly the stuff stacked on the drawers. There's a lot so we might as well save time by getting all our observing done in one sweep.



  COMMAND: ENER: Check the items on the shelves high on the wall too (if you can reach those)



Ok! Although the items on the shelves are just too high for him to reach and there's no known booster he could use to gain height. Also, those fancy smancy gadgets and gimzos on the counter sure looks fun! :3 Ener couldn't resist trying out one of devices on the counter so he could make observation of what all of those machines do.





UH OH.


Now you done it.

Mr. Officer

• Ener: Ask Daniel If he knows what Genetic Identification is and how he could help.

REDX36

• COMMAND >> ENER: Say sorry, but youre really curious. Also, ask what is important about those items.

Anteroinen

• COMMAND: ENER: APOLOGIZE, and proceed to LOOK through the MICROSCOPE.

• COMMAND >> ENER: Say sorry, but youre really curious. Also, ask what is important about those items.

  

COMMAND: ENER: APOLOGIZE



<ENER>

Meep! Sorry! I won't touch you again!

SINCERE GENUINE APOLOGY!!!

But what so important about you guys that I shouldn't touch you?

• 

Ener: Ask Daniel If he knows what Genetic Identification is and how he could help.



And so Ener decided to return to Daniel and ask him about the LAB EQUIPMENTS.


<ENER>

Hey, I am having hard time using machines down in the Lab.


<DANIEL>

That because your fleshes are worthless.


<ENER>

Gwwrrrr....


<DANIEL>

Oh, not THAT flesh. I am referring to your whole body. Skin, blood, meat. Even sweats.


<ENER>

Stupid machines. Which one of them am I suppose to freely touch?


<DANIEL>

Only the COMPUTER and MICROSCOPE.

• proceed to LOOK through the MICROSCOPE.



With Daniel's assurance that COMPUTER and MICROSCOPE are safe to touch as well as Ener could interface with technology, he begin to peek into the MICROSCOPE.


The slide under the MICROSCOPE show two different set of brain cells.









What the... what happened to this creature's brain?

• COMMAND: ENER: Turn on the computer. Now, use the computer.

• COMMAND: ENER: Turn on the computer. Now, use the computer.



Ener pressed the button on the MONITOR and...


YAY! The COMPUTER is automatically activated, straight to the desktop! No CD or PASSCODE or anything needed although the COMPUTER seems to be somewhat corrupted...


At least there are 5 items on the desktop.

Not connected to the internet. How sad 


• Command: Click on various desktop items.



With joy! Ener decided to check the items first before possibly chatting with his friends on InMessenger.

And he learns a few interesting things from the items!


First is about the ECOSYSTEM of XAD-014, where they're inside now.



• Click on quo's notice



Next is another NOTICE from Quo the Manager.


Ener is getting disturbed by possibly of chaos that many afflicted by illness had caused...





And then the picture that Ener found is somewhat bit shocking.

It is a picture of Elouf, Quall, and himself sitting together on the table. Unfortunately, the greeting didn't appears to be somewhat friendly between him and Elouf with reactions noticeably present behind them in back of room.


What happened in this picture?



And... surprise! Another video by Doctor Dodd.

This time he's aided by a cute yet phlegmatic avian creature.



<DOCTOR DODD (pre-Situation)>

Observation Report
LOG # 5346.17.29

Presiding Scientist: Doctor Leonard Dodd

Junior Scientist: Dawn of Horizon Solar AKA Sol


<SOL>

Sqwak. Junior Senior Feathery Scientist here. The making of this video is to discuss the feasibility of the Experiment and deduce its validity of the Techny.


<DOCTOR DODD>

Technology.


<SOL>

Technically.


<DOCTOR DODD>

Would you let me... All right, Sol and I and few other employed scientists had called upon a few selected Participants, both Public and Special, for small sessions in order to make close observation of the after-effects of the Technology.


<SOL>

In order to do that, they look at the creepy SLAB OF BLACK MARBLE and tell what shape they see it as, simple or complex. Personally, I think it's a sphere. One other day, I saw it was a pyramid. How can it not be a...


<DOCTOR DODD>

Sol.


<SOL>

Sorry. Presenting videos of Participants' sessionss now.



#1 - It a sphere.

#2 - Squawkkk! Paper!

#3 - Cylinder

#4 - a ssssphericon



#1 - It a meow pyramid

#2 - No no no you idiots. It a slab!

#3 - I don't see a slab. That's an arch.

#4 - Be nice, will ya? I am seeing a tiny cube.





#1 - Hmmmm... a huge... Then again that could be a cylinder.

#2 - Shwwooo... shwwooo...

#3 - That a huge cone! Croak.

#4 - It a mess of helixes clumped together. Can I get out now?



<SOL>

And that's the video. I still think that's a sphere or pyramid or...


<DOCTOR DODD>

Sol.


<SOL>

Sorry. And the winner of the test is only one participant! Is that bad? Please don't say it's bad. I hate when its always bad in the…


<DOCTOR DODD>

Oh for the... From the sessions, only 1 of 12 participants shown to have stable mental perspectives.


<SOL>

So that's bad. Very bad.


<DOCTOR DODD>

SOL. All right then... more observations are required to deduce the intensity of after-effects from the Technology. It's possible that we might require an increase in dosage of our current medication.


<SOL>

And possible daily reports to medical personnel of any mental or biological irregularities. Speaking of which, we should be getting back to the lemons. Can't get enough of it. Sweet and tangy.


<DOCTOR DODD>

Indeed.


End video.





Now that Ener seen all of important items with extra dose of expositions, it time for online rambling via InMessenger.

Hope he can find his friends there :3

For now, it seems that only three different users are available.
