6:25 PM
<taylor_itkin> Dmitri, you see a lanky-looking man at the controls for the arena simulator!
6:26 PM
<Aphex_> The Russian just looks at the man with his usual stone expression. "I was called. Would you care to explain?"
6:26 PM
<taylor_itkin> "Ah! Yes! Hello!" He beams at Dmitri. God, this man is…happy.
6:27 PM "You're here for the simulation???"
6:30 PM
<Aphex_> How annoying. Stone-face. "I suppose so."
6:31 PM
<taylor_itkin> "Good! Yes! Fantastic!" He hops a little as he presses some buttons. "Alrighty! So! Yes! This should be pretty easy for you! No big surprises!" He laughs.
6:31 PM "You won't be going anywhere strange! Just to a Foundation site!"
6:31 PM "Are you ready?!"
6:32 PM
<Aphex_> "……" This man is very trying. "Yes."
6:32 PM
<taylor_itkin> "Alright! Let's do this!" He claps his hands. "Step in!" He flips a switch, and the arena is on!
6:32 PM
<Aphex_> Dmitri steps.
6:32 PM
<taylor_itkin> The man hops from foot to foot as you fade!

<taylor_itkin> Dmitri, you're right- but that doesn't explain why you're standing next to the simulator /right now/. There's a man standing at the controls but…not the same man.
6:35 PM
<Aphex_> He observes, assuming this is a 1:1 recreation.
6:36 PM

6:38 PM
<taylor_itkin> there’s a broken panel on the bottom of the wall nearest to you, and behind it, a crawl space.
6:39 PM The area underneath the console is also open, and not visible by the man working it.
6:39 PM However, you’d have to cross his line of vision to get to it.
6:39 PM
<Aphex_> He'll move to the crawl space, just to see where it leads. He does not crawl in.
6:40 PM
<taylor_itkin> There’s a small space inside, leasing slightly off to the left. It’s too dark to see much else.
6:41 PM
<Aphex_> Then he stays where he is. Risks.

6:53 PM napness_ → @madness_
6:53 PM
<Aphex_> Dmitri decides to check the crawlspace. He'll crawl through as long as he can confirm it is totally clear.
6:54 PM
<taylor_itkin> It is clear inside the crawl space.
6:54 PM
<Aphex_> Then he goes through, hopefully to get into a maintenance hall.
6:55 PM
<taylor_itkin> It leads on to the left for a while. Nothing much to note other than some cobwebs and bugs (gross). It splits into a right and left path.
6:56 PM (Typing)
6:57 PM The left path seems a bit dusty - the floor seems to taper off into what might be dirt. The right path is slightly lit from a grate on the wall about 5 meters from you.
6:57 PM
<Aphex_> He stops, peering to both directions. Anything of note, any markings for what happens to be where or identifiers as to what they lead to?
6:57 PM (redact)
6:57 PM
<taylor_itkin> (Beat ya :P)
6:57 PM
<Aphex_> He goes left, then right.
6:58 PM
<taylor_itkin> They are two separate paths, is he going to check the left and check the right?
6:58 PM Just to make sure I understand
6:58 PM
<Aphex_> Yes. Check left, check right, return to the main area.
6:58 PM
<taylor_itkin> Gotcha
6:59 PM The left path leads to another broken wall panel, which in turn leads outside, right next to the rear entrance of the Site. You can’t help but feel it looks familiar.
6:59 PM The right path leads to a dead end, however
7:00 PM There is an upper level visible to you, with a ladder you could climb to reach it.
7:00 PM There is also still that grate along the right path.
7:01 PM You also smell something…sweet and sickly along the right path.
7:01 PM
<Aphex_> He's already under the assumption that this is a 1:1 recreation of the Site. He goes to observe the grate on the right, just to look. (Crawlspaces usually don't have ladders.)
7:02 PM The Russian makes very certain to be sneaky while observing.
7:02 PM
<taylor_itkin> (I know - I misspoke, it’s a broken wall panel leading to some major ventilation)
7:02 PM (Apologies for that)
7:03 PM The grate looks over the simulation room you just came from. You can see the man who was there earlier, flicking levers and such. The smell gets stronger.
7:04 PM
<Aphex_> He backs off, then heads to the left. To the outdoors.
7:05 PM
<taylor_itkin> You make it outside! There’s trees, lovely trees. All stuff you remember from the Site, because yes- it is a 1:1 recreation. PERC

<taylor_itkin> You make it to the treeline and along the way, notice a bulky man standing over a body in Foundation uniform. He turns around and- wait, but you're right here, crawling to the trees? Right?
7:10 PM Dmitri, you remember you're in a simulation, and that would explain why you're watching yourself load the dead man's gun.
7:12 PM
<Aphex_> He's heading to a particular spot in the forest. He checks his doppelgänger's uniform to prove a theory as he sneaks.
7:12 PM
<taylor_itkin> What does he check for?
7:13 PM
<Aphex_> Any GRU-P or other GoI logos, for starters.
7:13 PM
<taylor_itkin> There are none.
7:14 PM
<Aphex_> Then to the forest for his cache. He keeps all sorts of shit hidden, so it's possibly there. If not, he'll try something else.
7:14 PM
<taylor_itkin> Does anyone but him know about it?
7:15 PM
<Aphex_> Given it's a personal thing for emergencies, and since he doesn't socialize, no. Just him.
7:16 PM
<taylor_itkin> Then it isn't there, unfortunately. The simulation was programmed by someone else.
7:17 PM
<Aphex_> He's dead quiet, and disappointed. Oh well. Back to his doppelgänger, assuming the guy is still there. If not, he'll follow the path- he also uncloaks due to the pain.
7:19 PM
<taylor_itkin> His double is not where he left him, and the body isn't either. If he looked, Dmitri might notice the smear of blood leading to the wall panel he came out of- it seems his double might have dragged the body there.
7:19 PM
<Aphex_> He follows the trail, keeping silent.
7:20 PM
<taylor_itkin> Back into the wall panel?
7:20 PM
<Aphex_> Yes. Just to see the body. More theories, which means he can probably finish this simulation soon if they're correct.
7:21 PM
<taylor_itkin> The body is a good few meters from the entrance to the vents - he lies on the floor, splayed.
7:22 PM
<Aphex_> He observes the body. Any distinguishing features?
7:23 PM
<taylor_itkin> He looks…oddly like the annoying man from earlier, Dmitri. In fact, 100% like him.
7:24 PM
