Squeezing through the narrow passage, you trail your leader until you reach the main chamber, each step echoing throughout the large open space around you and sending puffs of dust that make your nose twitch.
Thankfully, you manage to advance without any accidents.
Seems Se-young was right. Even in the dim and flickering light you can see dozens of wooden pallets with various bags and containers, as well as heavier carrying equipment parked next to the supporting pillars. Above, casting ominus shadows, hangs a rusted lift. There is a second floor here, but you can't see what's there.
Se-young comes to a stop, and elegantly kneels. "Do you see that wall over there?" She says pointing at the opposite wall. "I suggest we sho- *ah* we should- *achoo!*." A muffled sneeze leaves her.
"Good- *achoo!*" You follow soon after. "Heh." Guess it just won't do without accidents.
Collecting herself, Se-young pats away stray dust from her clothes still looking away. "I suggest we should split. Advance along the wall, rendezvous on the other side." She repeats, then gets up and walks in other direction.
As she said, so you did. In a matter of an hour, the first floor was scoured with the cursory reconnaissance.
Dusty corners revealed no monsters, but a lot of free space, sandbags, and several locked metal containers. The heavy machinery was all broken, including the both the stairs and the elevator to the first floor. All in all, not the most lucrative results.
Thankfully, with the final meeting Se-young came to you with something more interesting: Namely, a hand-sized, blue ball of seemingly glass. Yet, at the mere glance both of you felt it's extraordinary nature. Whether it does anything remains to be seen, but it for sure looks pretty.
Returning to the exist, you inform your friend about your particular need for 'shinies'. She nods in understanding, then rolls her eyes exasperated. "To trade life-saving supplies for a distasteful piece of glass...Typical. I could assist you in their gathering, given how well they can be sold."
Well, with that done you should have a few hours left, but who knows what's going on on the surface? With only two small shines it could be difficult to resupply.
Well, there are still those heavily locked boxes, but it will probably take a looong time to open them, at least with your equipment.
What's the next step?
> There is still time. Explore more, collect more shines; you need supplies.
> Try opening one of the boxes with a gun, then go back
> It's been a while, you should go back to see what's up and don't risk it.
> Return to the Living room. Rest and discuss things with Se-young. (What?)
Anything to do while here (warehouse)?
> write in!
Delegation: Se-young has a lot of free time you can suggest her what to do, but ultimately she will decide what she will do... Unless!
> Try to open the containers.
> Repair the doors first.
> Scout ahead.
> Search the living room. It's safe there...
