Route 1, Chapter 1: Six Strangers
So!
Time to pick our protagonist!
On the first route, we shall be TAKESHI.
>I've got to find my friends.
Emergency open mechanism found! We are no longer trapped to death.
Mystery Girl is still being weirdly apathetic about this!
Next objective: Find other people, ascertain the situation.
There's nobody around! The place seems to have been evacuated.
You are doing nothing to alleviate the tension, asshole!
Most of the park is sealed off.
No matter where we go, no sign of life.
Mystery girl thinks that if this keeps up, we could be in danger!
...We should probably get out of here.
The emergency exit is sealed shut. No good at all.
I'm getting tired, but Mysterion here seems to be just fine.
But wait, there's someone else here!
Hey, it's her again!
She seems to be in a panic.
What the hell does that mean?! Crazy woman.
What are we running from, anyway.
This, probably.
THIS IS PROBABLY A BAD THING HUH
Also note that this game has CG cutscenes sometimes! The water effects are not that great.
Mysterion takes the initiative! Holy shit can barely keep up.
CAN WE OUTRUN THE WATER?
I am too slow! This means I get dragged along by force.
And despite all that, Staff Girl is somehow ahead of us!
Crazy fast.
We're at safe ground for the moment! If only just.
Time to find an exit, and fast!
Most of the doors lead to dead ends.
But this one is open! In theory!
OPENING NOW
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Not even the crazy awesome girl dragging me around can avoid it this time!
And BASE as a shutter closes behind us, and the draining process begins.
According to Park Girl, we're safe for now, but over 30% of LeMU is now completely flooded.
Well, shit.
I'm pretty sure it's the ocean's fault, ma'am!
>It's not your fault.
Staff Girl continues to apologize deeply, as Mysterion brings up the important point!
We gotta get to at least a safe haven, if not an exit route.
Just when we thought it was just the three of us in here!
Three more show up.
It's You!
I think I can guess who her compatriots are.
It's Kid and Coco!
Why do I know the names of this group but not my own.
We have another name now! Staff Girl is henceforth SORA.
Apparently we have no way of contacting the surface, but might be able to should we reach the Central Control Room. Mission objective set!
While we're on the way, You gives proper introductions!
Mysterion, of course, doggedly refuses to give her name.
We're now in Dritte Stock, floor B3! This would appear to be our destination.
Also about as far as we can get from the surface.
Sora uses some badass fancy trick to interface with the computers without touching them!
This is a sci fi setting, by the way. Twenty minutes into the future.
On the subject of technology, Takeshi's iPhone equivalent isn't borked after all!
It has a Kinetic Charge function - shake it or walk around with it, and the kinetic energy charges the battery.
Seriously the first words out of her mouth.
This is going to suck.
STATUS:
Insel null: Inaccessible.
Erste boden: Completely flooded.
Zweite stock: Partially flooded.
Dritte stock: Safe.
So.
We're trapped.
Electricity is intermittently online, depending on which part of the facility you're in.
The pumps are functioning, but air pressure is down drastically - one atmo instead of six.
Communication with Insel null is more or less dead. Sora is broadcasting for help, but odds of being picked up are slim.
We just have to wait and pray.
To be continued
