Restless Slumber: The Malfunctioning Door

Valentina

Friend PM Trade

This door begins to shoot sparks as you approach it, leaning you with a sense of worry about touching it. The cracked display of this high tech door shows you nothing but errors, making you wonder what it could have been coded to show before. Regardless, it’s time to step inside and free the occupant of this final nightmare.

You nearly trip the moment you enter, and look down to find the cause. Immediately, your eyes land on a thick cable. Well, it’s a better trail than any to find the cause of this nightmare, but experience tells you, it probably won’t be pretty.

As you follow the thick mess of cables, you see them begin to bunch and pool more and more, until you can barely take a step without nearly stumbling. You don’t have long to ponder the need for all this electricity as you glance up, and see the owner of this dream.

“Hey there. I’d wave but ya know, my hands are a little tied at the moment…” Valentina Tinker wriggles within the mass of cables and wires that currently hold her captive, a defeated smirk on her face, “Literally. What can I say, technology’s run amok.”

Whatever this invention was meant to be, it’s safe to assume this wasn’t its intended purpose. You notice more and more cables begin to pile up on top of Valentina. You better get her out of there fast before she’s smothered!

YOU DEFEAT THE TECH...

You scratch your head as you examine the large pile of high tech tendrils, trying to make heads or tails or what any of it is. Trying to detangle these is going to be a nightmare, but you’d better start now. You move in to start pulling them apart, but it only takes a few minutes before you realize what a fruitless endeavour this is. You’re going to have to get creative.

You glance around the room, and from beneath the mountain of wires you notice something very interesting: a powerbox. You carefully wade your way over to it and with nothing to really lose, raise your leg to bring your boot down on it, breaking it. To your relief, this actually pays off as the boxes short circuits and the cables all begin to speedily retract.

Huh. It’s like they say: work smarter, not harder.

Valentina falls from the clutches of the cables, landing on her feet with a thud. She grins, giving you a thumbs up, “Cool one, good job but uh. If you’ll excuse me-” You’re surprised as she runs right past you, her eyes wide with interest and intrigue as she crouches to examine the power box, “I HAVE to find out how that worked, what is this? I think I have my tools with me, if you’d just leave me alone with this for ohh… say, 1 hour? 5 hours? I could-”

Yeaaah that’s enough of this dream for one day. Reaching out, you grab Valentina by the collar and begin to drag her away from the object of her interest, “Aw! Come on! It’s bark was worse than it’s byte, if it acts up I could RAM it again! Whatever it’s got cooked up for me isn’t TERMINAL-”

You begin to drag her even faster.

YOU'VE SAVED VOLTRA!

Tune in tomorrow for the conclusion, and the release of Bundles and Goodie Bags!
