You enter the Elevator and go up to the 3F.

You emerge in the Central Tower 3F. One hallway leads EAST, one hallway leads WEST.

There is nothing of interest in the Central Tower.

You go EAST. You reach a dead end, but a STRANGE FLASHLIGHT is lying on the table.

GO WEST TWICE
You shine the STRANGE FLASHLIGHT in your eyes. Suddenly, you are taken to a different scene...

A man is standing in front of a statue in a burned-out courtyard. At its base, he turns a series of numbered dials until they read "271". The statue shifts to the side, and the man walks down a previously-concealed flight of stairs.

You recover from your vision, and go WEST twice. You find yourself in a Laboratory.

In the Laboratory, you see a device that looks like a speaker with a button on it sitting on the table. Suddenly, you are attacked by a ZOMBIE, shambling at you from the corner!

Do you...
-Shoot it (Liz - 3 Bullets Remaining)
-Stab it (May consume the RITUAL DAGGER)
-Stab it (Fork) (Will consume the FORK)
-Run (Chance of failing)

Skull Face goes into TRIP's inventory and throws the COAL at the ZOMBIE.

It has no effect!

The ZOMBIE strikes out at TRIP, but misses.

Just SHOOT IT, Liz.

LIZ shoots the ZOMBIE. It keels over, falling on the floor. It appears to have been an animatronic. You have TWO (2) BULLETS REMAINING.

GRAB DEVICE
EXAMINE ZOMBIE
#33
Spooks?
You grab the DEVICE. It is small and rectangular, with a speaker on it and a single button. Pressing the button emits some sort of garbled static noise.

You examine the ZOMBIE. It is a standard issue studio animatronic. Not particularly strong, and with a poor battery life.

GO EAST
USE ELEVATOR
GO 4F
#35
Spooks?
You head back to the Elevator, and press the button labeled 4F.

You ascend to the top floor of the tower, and find yourself in a very expensive looking office. There is a large mahogany desk in the center, with an equally expensive computer set up. A file folder lies on the desk, and the computer is unlocked.

OPEN FILE FOLDER
CHECK COMPUTER
#37
Spooks?
You inspect the FOLDER. It appears to contain blueprints for a "Crystal Negation Device." It matches the small STRANGE DEVICE you found in the downstairs laboratory.

You next inspect the COMPUTER. A document is open on the screen discussing something called "Project Terror". From what the document says, Project Terror was part of the "KG5 Initiative", which was supposedly a simulated Killing Game using participants in full-dive virtual reality. From there, they were supposed to use their special abilities and commit murders, which in turn would both teach a learning AI that used the Despair's Wish diamond as its processor core to utilize those powers, while simultaneously powering the system through their eventual deaths, which gave the object an unexplainable boost in power.

The project is marked as a failure, due to the rebellion and escape of four of the participants, and the inability of Project Terror to act with rationale, due to having no consciousness beyond the basic programming to use powers and attack people. Despite this, paranormal research recovered from the body of someone named "Honoka Kosakatua", the Ultimate Paranormal Investigator has led to further studies in the nature of binding souls to objects for the purpose of providing a "consciousness" to similar AI projects, as well as experiments attempted to manifest dark energy based AI entities such as Project Terror in the real world. However, with no piece of the crystal large enough recovered at the scene, research has largely come to a standstill.

You minimize the window, but find all the other files on the computer locked on company drives.

THROW COMPUTER OUT OF WINDOW

You pick up the COMPUTER and hurl it out the window. It smashes on the ground below into pieces.

LIZ looks at you like you're completely insane.
