Since he saw nothing new or useful Maxwell instead slowly walked next to Serge and asked:  "Well how do you want to go about this?"

[All4BigGuns]

@Serge Carefully examining the room you sense that the puddle of blood is very fresh. There are also small blood drops on the walls next to it. You are a physician you can tell, someone was wounded, perhaps killed in this very room you are in not long ago.  There is dust on the tables, this classroom was clearly was not in use for quite a while, it is unusual for the Brain eaters to abandon this kind of equipment.

Noting the freshness of the blood spill and the splatter on the wall, Serge pulls his comm and checks the coordinates, zooming in if possible to try and increase accuracy.


Also, classroom door locks tend to not require a key from the inside. This one is like that, right?

[gilga]

@Serge - no it is actually a combination lock, the key is a combination of 4 numbers.

[gilga]

@All as you are scratching your head thinking how to get pass the lock door you hear a very loud female scream. Then the roar become greater - as if some bad animal is trying to devour some innocent lady.

[All4BigGuns]

"Well, this is stupid," Serge says as he draws his Predator and closes the window, "But we don't have much of a choice with that scream." With that, he crouches down and takes aim on the lock before firing.

[gilga]

@Serge - the lock cannot take a direct predator hit. The door is effectively unlocked... You can hear that some of the flying drones approach due to the noise but as they can't sense you they just hover for a short while by the window before losing interest.
 

[All4BigGuns]

Serge's heart skips a beat as he sees the drones outside the window, and once they depart he moves to carefully push (or pull as the case may be) the door open, checking the hallway. If the coast is clear, he slowly steps out and moves stealthily toward the source of the screaming.


Not too good, but given the -7 penalty from the spirit granting Concealment, it should suffice.

@Serge you see a big trid projector, it is showing something that appears to be a very bad horror trid. You are in the third floor, there is a balcony and a big hall. You can see people watching the trid at the first floor. Due to the loud trid they did not notice the gunshot. You can see many more class rooms on your level around the main hall, as well as the stairs. The second floor seems to be design the same, a ring full of classrooms and the stairs. The first floor seems to be one big hall, filled with specially designed chairs. The 3d trid is projected all int he middle hall.

[All4BigGuns]

Carefully staying near the wall away from the balcony's railing to avoid possibility of detection (ooc: maintaining my stealth), Serge carefully circles around checking each room, one-by-one looking for the prisoner. If no one is found on this level, he continues down the stairs to floor 2 doing the same.

[Mulcarn]

"Maybe someone is watching an old horror flik."  Thought Maxwell trailing behind Serge.  Making sure his movements are equally slow and controlled.

[gilga]

@Serge - there are 10 rooms in each floor. They are all locked with the same combination lock you seen before.

[Mulcarn]

"Shit, this is going to take too long and it's going to be too loud.  I think I know a better way."  Maxwell tries to open his third eye again, but this time he imagines ghosting out of his body.

Astral Projection: 6d6t5 2 I don't know if I needed to roll again but I did anyway

[gilga]

The entire lobby is enchanted, you are unsure exactly how, but everything in there glows in the astral. Even the stairs and chairs.  The only thing not enchanted are the outside walls and the doors with the locks.

[Mulcarn]

Maxwell ghosts back into his body and does his best to stand up.  Leaning in closer to Serge to relay what he just saw, Maxwell says:  "I don't know what, but something magical is happening in the lobby.  My guess is that is where our VIP is being kept.  So after you."

[All4BigGuns]

Shrugging, Serge continues on maintaining his stealthy progression toward the lobby.
