Opening the door

[nolandmod]

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.

"Shit!" Yunlan yelps; he'd had his shoulder on the door, feet digging into the floor paneling as he shoved it open inch by torturous inch, and one of those plasma blasts zips by close enough to singe the ends of his hair. He dives towards Saya, trying to knock her out of the way of the plasma fire.

(Or to make sure, if nothing else, that he's between her and the weapon. She's only just recovered.)

"We're friends!" he shouts, mid-dive, at the robot -- who knows if it'll listen? But if it's like the others, it might be willing to talk. "Don't shoot!"
