SEEK A WAY OUT - CONFINEMENT ROOM (GREEN TEAM)

[formicarium]

T H E  C O N F I N E M E N T  R O O M Despite being called the "Confinement Room", you will quickly notice that it's a hallway with four rooms, instead of just one room. In fact, this seems more like jail than anything else. Someone must have put the wrong plate beside the door, but the moment you step away from the door, it closes up behind you. You find that there isn't even a handle on this door, so there's no way you're going out that way. Time to start looking around this dimly lit "Confinement Room".

[she hands him the rest of the detergent so he can wash properly, but concentrates on sussing out what's wrong here]

They go along with the poems on the sheets. The arsonist on fabric A is the lighter, and so on. But there's no way to narrow it down. We're missing something...

[and then she remembers, the other journal she'd neglected upon Calhoun's appearance. she heads over to flip through it in the hopes it held another clue]

[ This notebook has been well used, as it's worn along the edges and many of the pages are filled. Most of them are illegible, but a few pages, containing the following: ]

         throws all the          who                  in here, but I'm sure one of them is innocent. I spend my whole day here, I talk with each          that comes by. I'm sure that one of them is innocent. I'd bet my life on it.

I set the         's password to their name. I modified the         , though, so if anyone enters the wrong name or password, then it'll freeze and set off the alarm. No one will be taking our         .

[ Jake will stand over by the safe, taking a look at it. Okay, it looks like they can enter letters in this, instead of just numbers. He'll yell over his shoulder. ]

Find anything?

[puzzlinglad]

Oh- thank you very much, Ema. [Ema you're a god among men. BRB as Hershel kind of continues to be out of the loop because he's busy cleaning his hand like he just stuck it in four dirty toilets. This going to take a while.]

[When he is done he inspects his hand before unrolling his sleeve with a soft sigh, happy that part is over with. He heads over to the sheets to finally check them out, reading the poems with a furrowed brow. Well, that sort of explained the toilet stuff. He then heads over to Ema to take a peek at what she's looking at.]

[skyentificmethod]

[she angles the journal so he can see.]

According to this, one of the guys locked up in here was innocent. Their name is the password to the safe. ...You think it was 'Alex,' the fabric D person? From the rhyme, it kinda seems like they were more a victim than a perp.

[fairsfair]

[ Thinking back to the poems on the sheets. ]

Yeah, sounds like he was the one mugged instead of doing the mugging.

[ He's going to move to punch in 'ALEX' for the safe, unless anyone has objections. ]

[puzzlinglad]

The empty wallet certainly makes it seem that way. [Hershel agreed, no objections here.]

[skyentificmethod]

Go for it.

[fairsfair]

[ Then here goes! Punching in 'ALEX' in the safe... ]

[formicarium]

[ With 'ALEX' entered, the safe's screen changes from the password input into one that now reads 'OPEN'. With a loud click, the safe is now unlocked! ]

[ Inside the safe would be a plain grey key card with a magnetic strip down the other side, and two strange looking key cards. There doesn't seem to be anything else in the safe... ]

[puzzlinglad]

[Hershel smiles when the safe unlocks, a little relieved even though he had been confident about their answer.] That was a lot more involved than the elevators. [He was glad it wasn't impossibly hard, at least. He was half expecting Zero to pull something like that.]

[He walks over, glancing at the keycards from a few feet behind Jake.] I wonder why there's two, we should only need one to open the exit... [He risks a glance at Calhoun, half expecting the mouse to start giggling like they set off a trap or something.]

[skyentificmethod]

[well, if no one else is gonna grab them, she will.]

These 'ambidex room' keys... In addition to the 'nonary game,' they talked about 'ambidex games' to be played in our groups, right? They're probably for that...

[but more pressingly, she starts at the key reader with the gray card to try and get out of here]

[formicarium]

[ The light on the card reader switches from red to green, making a beep. With that, the door slides open, leading into another hallway. ]

[ Calhoun can be heard laughing again. ]

Congrats, test subjects! You got out of that pretty well, and even went as far as digging into the toilets!

[ Snicker snicker. ]

Anyway, I'll see you all later! Bye bye!

[ And the computer screen turns off. ]

YOU FOUND IT
