Klaus pressed the release on the Eastern door. Time to move onwards and outwards. Overhead storm clouds rumbled. The grim atmosphere encircled the burnt and battered looking body of Robert. Unpleasant. He was starting to go off. A good time to see new things.

Klaus stepped through the Eastern door carefully. The room beyond was a reddish sort of colour. Not as deep as the awful red rooms but still. The lighting was unpleasant. It wasn't as hot as the room before which could only be a good thing down here. Down here though, everywhere was still hotter than average. Except the cold room but yeah.

Klaus caught himself. His mind had the tendency to run like that. He walked the room up and down before deciding it was safe. Besides there was something interesting in the middle.

"Guys I'm still here!" He said, quite pleased with that result.

The group followed him in and glanced around themselves. To the West, above their entry was an empty and sealed shuttle platform. There was a pink ring around the door this time.

And in the middle of the room there was a crate.

The group gathered around it carefully. Korr eyed it menacingly but he was in an eyeing things menacingly rut today.

"Oh men..." Said Jeffrey as he walked over. He experimentally moved the lid. It could easily be opened.

"STOP!" Yelled Helios as he marched over, pulling Jeff backwards away from the crate. Jeff shot him a pained look.

"Okay for starters the thing is surrounded by concrete. A little more thought would be helpful in future." He said disparagingly.

Bryce smiled but his heart longed for shoes. Thirty one days and not a single shoe. It was so depressing. Maybe there were shoes in the crate. He hoped.

Bagshot walked around to the bottom of the crate and pulled aside a concrete block. There was a large image of a skull and crossbones on the front of it. He scratched his head thoughtfully.

"Seems like an obvious danger." He said folding his arms.

"But why put an obvious danger in a room and mark it as so dangerous, and then even got out of the way to cover it in concrete so it seems even more dangerous."

"Surely we won't take the risk at all so why bother. It seems to me it's more likely to contain something good because it's made to look threatening and lethal."

Helios shook his head.

"Obvious WIFOM is obvious." He said miserably.

"We think it must be safe because we are assumed to take one step ahead of Willis. And the obvious one step ahead of Willis is your discussion of the crate being safe. The result of that is the crate is probably dangerous because he's made us think it's safe."

Malarkey sighed.

"Unless he wants us to go two steps ahead..." He said.

The group sat down in thoughtful silence. This was tricky.

...At least I was right about this room number.

Anyway I'm not opening the crate. Someone else feel free if you really want to.

Preferably someone with a doctor life.

##Open: Crate

Also I think the room to our East is 2953 if it's changed from the one on the shuttle map.

I actually kind of hope it isn't because if it isn't then I can place another room on the map.

Never mind, I hope it IS 2953 cause that's the one with the Cerberus statue and the spear.

Interesting

Captain's Log, Stardate 43125.8

As we descend, deeper, in uncharted territory, in search for the key, we have come, to this crate. It seems, that it, could be a trap. If I had, a red shirt available, I would have him, to open the crate. But, unfortunately, I have to, settle, for the, next best thing: our companion, the sun god.

Can someone answer me regarding the shuttle map? :(

Helios has it.

...Actually maybe he should pass his items to people he wants to give them to (temporarily) in case he dies and someone snatches them up before he's revived.

lol too late now, Willis is viewing

why the heck did Helios open it?
if he dies that's one more revive wasted than necessary.

yeah that was a little hasty :/
