Opening the door
WHO: Zhao Yunlan and Saya Takagi and a special NPC to start, anyone else after
WHERE: Overseer's Office, vault 66
WHEN: A few days after the reactor is repaired
WHAT: The door to the office is opened
WARNINGS: Violence
OOC NOTE: The log starts being open to those that put in the plot request, after the initial confrontation is done anyone can tag in (Zhao Yunlan and Saya Takagi are also free to invite people into the initial confrontation scene if they like). Please address questions to the monthly ooc post.
The sign reading Overseer Office lit up along with the rest of the testing facility when the reactor was repaired, sending some of the mole rats scattering and casting the shadows away. But it takes a little extra effort, some hacking and then physical prying, to get the door to open. From the first inch the door opens after hacking the terminal a large, circular desk with a built-in computer terminal is visible in the center of the room, and lockers and TV screens can be seen on the walls. It’s a slow process to fully open the door, the heavy thing only moving an inch or so at a time, but it’s doable. And once it’s open enough for an adult human to slip through-
There’s a hail of plasma blasts gunfire coming through the opening at Zhao Yunlan and Saya Takagi (and anyone else there with them). A different looking than normal robot can be seen hovering in the office, firing from the weapon that occupies one of its ‘hands.' Luckily, the firing seems more to keep people out of the room than kill, but who knows if that will change should anyone try to enter.
Will out heroes fight or flee? Get back up from other dwellers or try to talk the robot down? We’ll soon see.

"Hrumph. We'll see. Put the weapons on the desk and give me a status update. I've been cut off since the mutiny started."

"Not too much to report, sir. About a month and a half ago, some of the, uh. Pods? You know the ones! They started opening up. When we got out, the only ones left around the vault were three other robots. So far as I can tell there are no human survivors from... whatever went down out there. The reactor was offline, but Saya here and one of our friends helped get it up and running a few days back.
"You said it was a mutiny?"
no subject
With a nod, Saya added, "The whole place is in a pretty bad state. I, we figured getting the power up and running would be the best first step to start repairs on this place. We didn't realize there was so much damage and an abundance of radiation however and we needed to get treatment soonafter... Though we're doing better right now."
Raising a brow, Saya awaited the response to the question curiously.

"Yup, those ungrateful dwellers- who'd have been dead when the bombs hit without Vault-tec, dead! Went wild when something was actually asked of them to repay the favor. Civilians scientists. No sense of duty. Knew we should have stuck with with our own people."
If he were human, this would probably be where he lit and bit down on a large cigar. As it is, he just shakes a claw in aggravation.

All over the Vault, in fact. He's not a superstitious man, but living in a tomb is really beginning to get on his nerves.
"Now, we're mostly civilians, too," he added in a chatty tone, "but I can vouch for our reliability. Come to think of it-- how long ago was that? When the bombs hit? We've been wondering if it's safe to open up or if we're going to have to wait a few more half-lives first."

"Were you made by them too?" she wondered out loud.
Chiming in, "It'd be really beneficial to all if we worked together, so I'm not sure why the previous denizens decided against it."

Apparently making sure the company advertisement is given first is part of the programming, since he goes silent for a moment to analyze the other questions asked before continuing.
"Vault-tec received this unit as part of a military contract, the details of which are above your clearance level. And damn good thing they did, or there'd be no one to get this vault back in proper order. We've passed the mandatory 36 month isolation period. Meaning, provided the order of command is respected," he turns one optic sensor to focus on Saya, not overly impressed with this 'work together' communist nonsense, "exploratory missions to the surface may be approved following vault inspection and restoration."
no subject
He's still planning to talk first, of course. They need access codes and they need information.
"That's excellent news, sir," he declares, doing his best enthusiastic new recruit act. "Why don't I give you an inspection tour so that you have up-to-date intel to set our priorities?"
He turns to gesture at Saya, and adds, "She's our technical expert. Are there repair or maintenance databases? If so, she'll need to be cleared for access."
no subject
Saya kept her displeasure hidden behind a bright smile and nodded in conjunction with Yun. She had been about to bow, but instead opted for the more western military salute in hopes it'll show 'respect' to this robot. "Yes sir, if I may. I'm well versed in tech and maintance for your systems. So with your permission, I'd like to continue fixing the systems and different technical sectors."
no subject
A tour seems just the ticket, and he hovers around to the pair of them.
"Your inspection has begun."
no subject
How much of that could really be cured? He had no idea, but he was pretty sure cozying up to the reactor's door wasn't going to help.
As he speaks, he heads for the office door, putting his shoulder into pushing it open just a little more for ease of access. "We've been looking around the experiment chambers, but we haven't had the chance to get those cleaned up yet."
no subject
"Most of the repairs that we were able to get done were limited. Whoever were the previous denizens, the ones you said did a mutiny, they left this place a mess and without many supplies to work with."
no subject
"State of the art technology to save humanity. Then this is what they chose. Damn ingrates."
[[OOC: As a heads up, the inspection will mostly be him complaining and then yelling at Nick. From the response to the OOC post 'He'll give them permission to continue improving the Vault. For going outside, he is vague at the moment, saying he will think on in and give a full battle plan soon once he's gotten full reports from the other robots.' We can play out the full inspection if you like, or end here and handwave. Whatever works for you two!]]
