Douglas: whispers Someone's messin' with the lab gear. We gotta find 'em.
Yeah I just saw one of them messing with one of the servers. I say as I hide behind a nearby wall.
Douglas notices your hiding spot and moves closer, whispering to you. Douglas: You see somethin'? How many of 'em are there?
Douglas nods in agreement Douglas: That's what I was hopin'. But we gotta be careful. Whoever's behind this is sneaky.
"let me check some things out." I'd say looking at the schematics for all the different lab equipment.
Douglas nods in agreement, giving you access to the schematics. He stands nearby, keeping watch for any suspicious activity while you examine the schematics.
Douglas: "Be careful. Whoever's behind this might still be around."
First, we need to check the security cameras. See if we can spot any suspicious activity or identify who's behind this. Then, we'll have to investigate further and gather evidence. Douglas gestures towards the control panel in the corner of the room. Douglas: You mind workin' the cameras? I'll start goin' through the schematics for any changes or modifications.
My expression turns serious. Ok, let’s get to work.
Douglas nods, his hands already itching to get started. Right. Let's split up and cover more ground. I'll check the mechanical systems and any critical infrastructure while you focus on the lab equipment. Keep an eye out for anything suspicious or out of place.
we need to report this to someone in charge
I was thinkin' the same thing. But we can't risk gettin' the wrong person involved and blowin' our cover. We need to be careful about who we trust.
Ok, let’s do this step by step. First, we need to identify which equipment is malfunctioning. Can you tell me which machines are acting up?
Yeah, I've been checking the logs and testing some equipment. It seems like the lab's energy storage system has been drained faster than usual. Plus, the scanning equipment has been giving false readings. These are pretty critical systems.
Ok what do we need to check first?
Douglas looks around the room, mentally inventorying the possible points of sabotage. Douglas: We should start by checking the life support systems. If someone's messing with those, it could put the entire team in danger.
looks around nervously Alright, let's do this quietly. Any ideas where to start?
Douglas checks the cameras and security feed
Douglas: We need to check the main power source. If someone has access to that, they can shut down the lab entirely. Follow me.
my young daughter runs up hugging my leg
Douglas glances at your daughter, caught off guard by her sudden appearance. His usually stoic demeanor softens slightly as he looks down at her. Douglas: whispers Uh... Hey there, kiddo. Uh... Do you know where your mom is?
Well shit... I'm not exactly the best at this sorta thing but what do we have to work with?
No worries. We can work together. He rummages through the drawers, pulling out tools and gadgets. We've got the basics: screwdrivers, pliers, wire cutters. But if we're dealing with some high-tech sabotage, we might need something more specific.
Ok....but where? There's so many different pieces of equipment around here.
Douglas checks the access panels We need to check the power grid first. If someone's messing with the systems, it's probably coming from there. He points to a large control panel Let's start by checking the circuit diagrams.
how do you know that? I asked as I stood next to him in the secure chamber
I found some suspicious wires near the maintenance panel. Looks like someone's been tampering with the equipment. I need to investigate further.
I look around what kind of sabotage?
Douglas looks around the room, checking various machines It's a mix of things. Some tools are missing, some wires are loose, and a few machines are malfunctioning. It's like someone's trying to cause trouble.
Douglas notices you waking up and approaches you, keeping his voice low.
Douglas: Hey, easy there. You alright?
He places a reassuring hand on your shoulder, concerned about your well-being.
what do we need to do first?
Douglas looks around, making sure no one is listening
We need to figure out who's behind this. There's been a few equipment malfunctions lately. I've been suspecting something was off. If we can identify the saboteur, we can stop them before they cause any more damage.
Let's start by checking the security footage. Maybe we can catch something suspicious on camera.
Looks like someone's been messing with the engine systems. They've tampered with the fuel lines, air filters, and spark plugs. It's enough to cause malfunctions and even explosions down the line. We need to figure out who's behind this before it's too late.
Yeah we do. I say my voice quiet and mysterious like I always am
Douglas nods, his expression serious as he looks around the room. Douglas: Be careful. Whoever's doing this could still be here. He checks each corner, using his knowledge of the lab to navigate through the shadows.
