You leave the board behind and go to check out the monitors. The set up seems a little more… haphazard compared to Maples.
There’s an old wooden radio on the desk, and next to it is an old ships radar hooked up to the mess of cables dangling behind the desk.
One of the small monitors seems to be keeping track of temperatures, while the other has a scrolling list of code that moves a bit too fast for you to keep track of.
The largest monitor looks like an old thrifted tv that’s been repurposed as a desktop, ziptied cables loosely bundled and dangling from the screen.
A photo of the beach outside the lab is taped to the corner of the monitor, “Cinnabar Coast” marked on the bottom with red marker. The photo itself looks partially corrupted, details difficult to make out at a distance.
There’s several windows open- a paint file nestled behind two text files, and some kind of monitoring program that appears hooked up to an undersea camera, the current page labeled U_CAM02. It’s the same shipwreck from the image on the board.
The two text files seem pretty short. The first one is labeled To_Do.txt.
- buy: bandages, sticky notes, iodine15oz, D batteries (2)
- check challenge question submissions for next league cycle
- get a third camera?
- double check peak readings
- need more things to do when the cameras are uneventful
The second file, “Questions_Wip.txt” is a bit longer.
Some good suggestions this year! Wanted to put my thoughts down proper before talking to the youngins.
- Asking who they’re going to fight is funny as the final question, I won’t lie.
- “vs Fire move effectiveness” is a good starting point, I’d like something a bit more specific from people making suggestions though.
- the Tombstoner question gets submitted every year. Yes of course I’m including it
- Epithet questions are a fun idea, but I think it could be something a bit trickier? We’re running a late gym, after all.
- While I appreciate the creativity of those sending in encrypted suggestions, I’d like it if they were a bit more creative.
