Iron Face stood up and led the charge to the Southern exit as the room started shaking. Alex and Walter followed behind him. He paused by the door release. G and Donovan were still sat around by the rotting corpses.
Iron Face glared.
"Are you coming? You're going to die..."
G glanced over at Donovan sat steadfastly quiet with folded arms and shook his head, standing bolt upright. Donovan remained seated. Finally as G approached the door he smiled and stood up. He rushed after the group and they piled into the Southern exit. Behind them, three corpses of their group leaders began to decay.
Iron Face walked nervously into the chamber beyond. A large glass cylinder hung down from the ceiling. The walls were pretty grimy looking in here. He shuddered. That didn't bode well. The floor was black and covered in a strange kind of circuit pattern.
Iron Face took a step forward. As he did, lines danced across the circuitry. He very nervously paused as the lines synced up. A siren blared out above. He looked up in fear and let out a scream as a glass cylinder surrounded him completely.
He banged on the side and try to speak but nothing could be heard from the outside. The others frantically looked for some kind of release mechanism but Iron Face was stuck inside the tube. Finally the circuits on the floor danced up and electrocuted the tube. The room lit up as currents dove straight into Iron Face's head. He screamed a muffled scream in agony. The others couldn't watch.
Finally the sparking stopped and the cylinder clicked. It raised back up into the ceiling. Iron Face was still standing. He teetered forwards and fell flat on his face. Alex rushed over to help him upright and walked him to the side of the room where they sat.
There was a hissing up above. A shuttle pulled onto a platform at the North of the room. It was completely empty but it drew their attention. A strange steam like substance blasted out as the doors opened. The ring around the door of the shuttle tunnel was painted orange.
Alex turned back to Iron Face who had a pained expression on his face. He shook his head hard and then went to say something but stopped. Alex frowned.
"Tell us where it hurts." He said helpfully.
Iron Face opened his mouth to speak but shut it again. Then he jumped forwards and bashed on the floor miserably. He stopped, reached into his pack and pulled something out. He fumbled with it for a while and dropped it on the floor. It was some kind of lockpick and padlock combo.
Iron Face fell to the ground, laying in silence. Walter walked over to him. Tears had filled his eyes. He shook his head and backed away from staring at Walter. Walter looked up at Alex who looked awkwardly at the other two. Iron Face waved his hand and went to sit in the corner.
The room fell quiet.
"Silence is golden."
The voice above booming out caused the assembled to look up at the screen on the wall.
"I told you this. Thankfully Iron Face now appreciates this more than anybody."
Iron Face turned around with reddened eyes to look at the image and then hunched himself back down in the corner.
"Still, a deal is a deal. Donovan, you surprise me. You never were much of the speaker but I would've thought that G would be the one taking the prize. An assortment of trinkets will be placed in your pack very shortly."
"Cheer up, it's all over. And yes, none of it was an illusion. Your friends really did just die. Maybe you should start talking about that?"
The voice drained out. The room fell into a dark and cold silence. Iron Face stood upright and bashed his hand against the wall furiously until it bled. If Alex and Walter hadn't rushed over to drag him away, he might've broken something.

The group stood around discussing their plan of action as the screen at the side lit red once more. Everybody gathered around to stare as the message came up on the screen. It said:

The doors open after much delay. Time to move on.
The thread is now in lockdown. Actions after this point will not go through and movement changes will not be submitted. You may still move if you haven't already done so. All actions that are awaiting results will have the results posted. | |
