monday - thursday (18) survivors Sunday's trial was only mere hours ago, but you find yourself faced with a new week on The Pygmalion. When you awaken, you will find the ship restored to its previous state, all areas interfered with during the murder looking mostly the same as they did before. Along with this, it appears there are new areas opened on the ship. It seems you have more exploring to do. The robot in the cafeteria has prepared another breakfast of various foods.

On this ship, I guess so.

[ if dave can't open the door roxy will try to phase through it, but first let's lick the fog since dave is smelling it. does it taste like. fog. ]

[chiseler]

[Oh gods what is wrong with these two??? Questions the idiot who tried to blow himself up...but if Dave can't open it and Roxy can't phase through it he can probably try the lockbreaking thing. But he won't until he sees how those two fare first. Have fun kids.]

You know it's fog. [A beat, and he's rereading the door.] Anybody else concerned with the word "electric"?

[al2955]

[The door is locked tight. The metal is also blisteringly cold to the point of pain - if Dave doesn't yank his hand away in time, he may wind up leaving a layer of skin behind.

Roxy will be able to phase through the door, but there's no light source within the room - it's completely dark. It's also beyond freezing in there, again painfully so; the cold will get unbearable within half a minute.]

[parodeity]

[ YEP HE'S PULLING BACK IMMEDIATELY, SHAKING HIS HAND. ]

Not really. I mean...kinda? But like, I'm more concerned with the ref. Here's hopin' we're not all robot versions of ourselves.

[muties]

[ she'll make the regrettable choice to phase through but if she can't unlock the door from the other side .5 seconds in, she'll try to use camera flash on her tablet to snap a pic or two of the interior before phasing back to WHERE IT ISN't A GODDAMN ICEBOX. ]

Holy fuck why is it so cold in there. Also, ngl I wouldn't be surprised if we were robots tbh. It'd fit the genre.

[chiseler]

Can we not talk about being robots? [It's a little sharper than it should be, but he's not going to explain why. Instead, he huffs and unsheathes Backbiter, prodding gently at the door like that'll actually help open it.] Maybe it's cold because it's storing a bunch of dead bodies. Preservation, you know? [Aha yeah that's hilarious.] Roxy, what'd you see in there? Anything?

[al2955]

[The flash didn't manage to illuminate much, so most of the photo is dark and obscured. That said, they'll be able to make out rows of upright pods lined up. These are clearly different from the pods in the arrival room, however; their shape is more rounded and they're also completely sealed, with no windows or glass whatsoever to be able to tell what lies within.]

[parodeity]

Ok, but consider: those are totally robot tanks. I mean, electric sheep? C'mon, man.

[ but after peering over roxy's shoulder at the image, dave points towards the right hallway. ]

May as well make the hallways our complete domain. Let's check presumably locked door number two.

[muties]

[ showing them the tablet and peering suspiciously at it. ]

Or, both. Like, androids in cryostasis or whatever? When you freeze people to bring them back later, that's a thing right. But with androids. Since robots are totes not the same as robots.

[ but all right let's dominate the halls while discussing robots and dead bodies as u do ]

[chiseler]

The thing is why would you need to freeze robots? Can't you just...I dunno, power them down or whatever? But supposedly we were in our pods for a while. Maybe those are the rejects. [Why is he subscribing to the robot theory.]

I wanna come back and try to bust that door open, but sure. We'll clear the rest of the hallway. [And off to the right they go. How're we doing over here?]

[al2955]

[The right hallway leads to another door. This one seems to be a lot more normal than the left door; there's no fog coming from it at all and it's at a normal temperature. On it is the label GAEA.]

[parodeity]

That's the greek earth goddess or whatevs, right?

[ glancing over to luke. dave will try the door again, but figures it's locked and will stand aside for roxy to try phasing and luke to try, uh. unlocking shit.

sorry mods ]

And I think computers work better in the super cold or some shit?

[muties]

I was gonna guess it was like. Gay Astronauts Eat Apples, but ok. And yeah, they can? Normal computers anyway, tho you also shouldn't get them near wet shit 'cause that fucks up electronics. Idk if those rules apply to Hella Spaceship tech tho.

[ yeah she's gonna try phasing through this one too she's an asshole. ]

[chiseler]

[…he's just staring at the door tbh.]

Yeah. Gaea, goddess of the Earth, mother to both the titans and the giants…helped overthrow Ouranos with the help of her son Kronos to start the first Golden Age. [So that's awkward. Let's not talk about that. Instead he's watching Roxy phase through the door and also reaching out just to see if they can open it the normal way. Just because the first one was locked doesn't mean the second one is.]

But I'm gonna say normal rules don't apply to "hella spaceship tech." [At least there's a smirk. Roxy please be careful inside the earth goddess room.]

[al2955]

[This door's locked tight as well. Alas, it seems to be very thick; Roxy won't be able to phase through it.]

[parodeity]

Why do the greeks like vowels so much?

[ dave asks, like this is at all a priority ]

[muties]

It's too thick.

[ winks in luke's direction like the trash she is. roxy don't make dirty jokes at grown men in front of your son??? that's gross ]

Can you use that Greek vowel power to lockpick it?

[chiseler]

[The worst part is he laughs. Thanks Roxy. Thanks for being great and thanks Luke for being five I guess. To Dave's question though:] I'll tell you why later.

[And to Roxy:] I'm pretty skilled with my hands by now. [Sadly this is true because he's already moving.] Shouldn't be a problem unless it's like the ones downstairs. [Is it possible to put his hand on the door and concentrate and allow his demigod bullshit to open the door...?]

[al2955]

[Luke's power works. The door opens upwards with the sound of an enormous amount of shifting metal. They'll get the briefest glance into the room - it's a vast space lit up with a blue glow from what appears to be a ball of water hovering in midair - before the door suddenly slams shut again and Alice's voice can be heard.]

My apologies Luke, but I cannot grant you or anyone access into this room at this time.

[parodeity]

Yeah ok that's 100% not shady at all.

[ by which dave means HEY, LOOK AT THIS SHADY EVENT. ]

...Wanna go try the other one?

[muties]

Wow, Alice, don't you trust us?

[ water you hiding, alice. ]

[chiseler]

[What. The fuck. Was that? The door slams and he yanks his hand back on instinct but he looks up to find Alice's voice.]

...I'll come back then. [He glances at Dave and Roxy then, frowning slightly before he shakes his head.] We can't go try the other one. [And here he looks a little frustrated.] Alice here messed with my powers the minute I got on this ship. I can only pull that trick once a day. Sorry.

[parodeity]

[ dave pats luke on the shoulder. ]

No big. She fucked with our god-tier shit, too.

[ dave doesn't even bother to use his time manipulation because it's pretty much useless lmao ]

We got a peek at something interestin', though, that's worth something.

[muties]

Probs because she knows if we were all as op as we usually are we'd kick some serious ass.

[ STILL OFFENDED THO gosh alice. gosh!! ]

Yeah, we should probs tell the others. Maybe abuse the whiteboard to show what all our asses' found?

[chiseler]

You're not wrong. [Thanks Alice!!!!] But that's actually not a bad idea. If we're up here we can't be the only ones. And apparently Alice knows that. [So that's weird, too.]

C'mon, let's head back down.
