>>5829104QM: ok, returning to our favourite space druid and space cadet girl, I think the dice have ensured that it is Cadet Cassidy Carmen who rescues herself! No damsel in distress! So maybe you are right, it is Morfran who shouts the instructions for the robot arm to her, but Carmen herself manipulates the controls to lift the burning girders; then she blasts the wall panel with her laser pistol, and beckons for Morfran to join her and crawl through. The space is extremely tight, Cassidy goes first, Morfran's eyes can only see the wiggling motions of her behind and the swell and curving creases of her fetching space cadet uniform trousers as they scrabble through the constrictive tunnel. The space druid is very embarrassed and tries to imagine other things like trees. Finally, they emerge coughing and choking and covered in grease and soot on the other side. The fire still burns behind them, but the smoke and even wailing alarms have receded into the distance. Space Cadet Cassidy Carmen's uniform is ruined, and her hair is very frazzled; perhaps Morfran tries to adjust it for her, but she slaps him away. Morfran is ok because he was actually in decontaminant gear / mask and overalls already from working alone in the vertical farm. Now you get to roll this: (QM - or you can choose from the options too, I do not mind!)
00-49 Cassidy Carmen saw everything Morfran did. She knows he set fire deliberately to the arcology vertical farm. Denizens of the Holy Grid will starve for this... (QM: should she shoot him with her laser gun?)
50-79 Cassidy was too upset from her breakup hologram phone call to even notice. Perhaps she blames herself, and her moment of blasphemy?
80-99 Cassidy Carmen is a little curious as to what Morfran looks like behind his decontaminant mask. Perhaps he is handsome? She steals a shy glance at him every now and then
I also think it is highly likely they are now lost. It is up to you (I don't know how you are imagining the arcology) but the way I think of it is there is probably some sort of massive subsurface warren of infrastructure / utility tunnels, maybe this is only used by machines or say maintenance repair robots etc, no humans ordinarily come down here. So it might be pretty labyrinthine and impossible to navigate. I don't know if the grid implants you mentioned before might give some automap or location pathfinding ability though. Maybe it is even a bit more authoritarian, and there are sections of the arcology designated as off limits to certain social strata or technical castes etc, and they have strayed where they are not meant to go. An even more grimdark option (look I am so cringedark) is to go full Necromunda, maybe the Holy Grid arcology is SO MASSIVE there is like a hidden city of splinter denizens or some schism sect cultists of the Grid who have been lurking here all along. So up to you!
