Chapter 2: Friendly Fractal Fruit Farmers

"Gotcha."

Talon comes back to the main lobby, and begins rooting around in the computer for clues.

[spoiler]UMD to interface with the computer system:
1d20(17)+14=31[/spoiler]

[skydragonknight]

Paul finds a computer and loads up a screen. ACCESS DENIED. ENTER PASSWORD.

He enters "Chicken" as the password. Then "Poultry". Then "Fowl". And goes down the list of all the important words he knows.

Edit: A roll:
[spoiler]Profession (Cook) to interact with Farm Computer. (1d20+14=24)[/spoiler]

[Kuroimaken]

Talon got there first.

According to the logs Talon pulled, it seems there's been practically no change in traffic (insofar as the traffic hasn't changed; that is, the people living here appear to be working normally) in the past week, let alone the past four days. He DOES discover something interesting though - apparently, someone made it into the building but has yet to leave.

[skydragonknight]

Where? Just don't say Detention Block AA23.

[PhaedrusXY]

"Wait... so the... computer... log shows that everyone is still here and working normally? Isn't that strange? Has someone tampered with its perception systems?"

[skydragonknight]

Paul turns to Matsuko, "Is zere a coterminous plane?"

Do the logs have to be entered manually?[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Only in the front reception, as traffic is minor and entry is restricted only from that point onward anyway. In this building, everyone is recorded upon entrance/exit automatically.[/spoiler]

Where? Just don't say Detention Block AA23.

I'd have probably used Cell 666 if that were the case, but it ain't. You can ask the computer to pinpoint the individual's location.

[Prime32]

"Does the computer say we're here?"

[VennDygrem]

[spoiler]Is this going to take more UMD checks? If so, here's UMD: 1d20(3)+14=17

Or alternatively, Knowledge: Arcana due to already being in the computer network, and to just root around for clues: 1d20(7)+12=19[/spoiler]

[Kuroimaken]

You didn't need those checks, actually.

And yes, it does show your presences. Including Kyx.

[Flay Crimsonwind]

Looking over their shoulder for a moment, and confirming the fact that they're all accounted for in the records, "So, can it find the others that supposedly are here? Otherwise, searching this whole place could take quite a while..." The question might have sounded impatient, but interestingly it wasn't; Zane wasn't good with modern magitek, only with older magic studies and inherent magical qualities. He had no experience with anything younger than twenty years old, and even those were a bit battered, dusty, and jury rigged.

[Kuroimaken]

"None of the workers are accounted for here at present. The only one that seems to be noted is... at the administrator's office."

[Solo]

"Then perhaps we should go there?"

[Flay Crimsonwind]

Moving quickly behind the metal suit of armor, Zane brushes back the poncho and readies his hand near his holster. He didn't particularly have any fear of bursting into a room, but having a suit of armor you can shoot around made life a lot better. He nods towards the group, as if he's ready to go.

[VennDygrem]

"Hmm, seems we ought to check it out, at least."
Assuming there is nothing more he can tell from the computer terminal, Talon readies himself to move on to the administrator's office.

[spoiler]Also, just as a reminder in case it isn't already obvious, but Talon also has See the Unseen active, just in case there are any... invisible things. You know. Things that are... unseen. [/spoiler]

[Kuroimaken]

"We'd have to go there in any case. Any particular way you all want to go about this?" Matsuko offered with a shrug.

@Venn

[spoiler]Duly noted.[/spoiler]

[The_Mad_Linguist]

Are there any exterior entrances or exits?  I would very much dislike it for an intruder to escape through the window.

[Kuroimaken]

"No. The drawback to the 'bigger on the inside than the outside' is that the windows are mostly for show."

[PhaedrusXY]

"What can that thing tell us about this person? Is he or she a worker here? Is there a name and job position listed?

And can it tell us anything about this building? Especially what security measures we might run into as we mill around in here... Are there any scrying devices in place so we can see where we're going?"
