>>5727922With one last screech of metal, the gate gives way and lets you into the fabled <span class="mu-s">LEVEL 3</span>... the air is thick with moisture down here, and through the inky blackness coating the tunnels ahead you spot a weathered <span class="mu-s">OLD SHAFT MAP</span> on the wall. Even within its plastic casing, the map has clearly seen better days!
“Luckily the power’s still on!” Your skater buddy announces as he points to the flickering work lights hidden under what must be several decades’-worth of dust. “Good to know where the <span class="mu-s">GENERATOR</span> is, though!”
Sure, you scoff, the general area of it, at least! In any case, you aren’t here for that–you need to be sure Pepper didn’t come this way!
Flicking on your <span class="mu-s">GEIGER COUNTER</span> just to be safe, you’re immediately met by a low, but constant clicking. Well <span class="mu-i">that’s</span> reassuring.
“Masks on, bro!” Announces Raj as he dutifully puts his on. You’re not sure that’s gonna help much, but you don’t bother arguing. At the very least you won’t have to worry about <span class="mu-s">GAS</span>...
As you head deeper into the tunnels, you come to a fork almost immediately!
Who the hell left <span class="mu-i">this</span> down here?
Picking up the <span class="mu-s">FORK</span> and putting it into your <span class="mu-s">INVENTORY,</span> you also notice there’s a split in the path–one leading <span class="mu-s">LEFT,</span> the other <span class="mu-s">RIGHT</span>!
“Eenie meenie miney-”
Before Raj can finish, however, you hear something from further down the tunnels, but you can’t quite place its origin point…
Scratching.
Crackling.
Clicking.
Where to?
