THEORY & CONCLUSION↴ At the midnight between Day 109 and Day 110, something happens. For most people, it won't be clear what - yet, they are shaken by it just the same. Violent tremors appear out of nowhere, rattling the entirety of the Polar station, violent enough to throw sleeping test subjects off their bunks. The source is unclear, but there is a sudden flurry of activity from staff as power flickers and is lost in various parts of the facility. Subjects, for the most part, will be left to their cells while they try to sort things out. The next morning, the staff are late picking people up. It's more like 6:30AM than the usual 6AM when they arrive to take people to the farm, which is a bit of tardiness that is entirely without precedent. Any questions about the incident the previous night will be waved off with the explanation of 'technical difficulties' that have been 'resolved.' ► DELTA: The three new Deltas will be left in their cells for even longer, waiting to be picked up, instructed that they would be escorted elsewhere instead of to the farm. Around 6:45AM some unfamiliar technicians will arrive and tell them that they are here to begin their processing into Delta. They are led into a previously untouched section of the station, where they are invited into a somewhat more intimate medical room to be asked some cursory questions and given a check up. Then, their suits will be removed, and they will be provided with their new uniforms, which they can apply like normal clothes. Delta life begins there. There will be a top level for the initial parts of their processing to be played out. Ultimately, however, they will end up being given a tour of the new Delta facilities, which amounts to a waterfront area that borders the new apartments they'll be staying in, as well a small supply shop where they can pick up an allotted amount of 'amenities' per day, based on their level of productivity and other achievements. This includes luxury items like food, pleasant smelling soaps, or other hygiene related tools. There are even small things like decorations or pictures of other places available, though they are fairly expensive. The first day will mostly involve the processing, a tour, and some basic training regarding the new tools they will be using, such as the mandatory visors and basic computer access. The next day, observation shifts in the farm will start, as will participation in trials. ► FARMING: The Farm will continue as normal, though it seems like there are fewer staff observing it at the moment. The ones that are there seem a little bit more tense than usual. Power is still down in some places, but the Farm is thankfully still active. Sometimes the productivity turn-in scanners might be a bit glitchy, so try not to panic if it measures fewer points than you're due. ► TRIALS: Trials are continuing as projected, though with the most broad of experiments already under way, they may be more selective. If you have an idea for a trial you can be sure to share it with the staff, and they will take it under advisement! Any information you want to provide is encouraged, they will say, especially if it involves notable traits about you or your fellow test subjects - or perhaps behavioral patterns you've noticed. You might even be rewarded! |

Once she has that made, things are gonna get a bit risky... but she's sort of running on limited options here. She's gonna get out Stumpy's pokeball, and some tape. She's gonna tape that fuckin camera to that fuckin isopod, and she's going to let Stumpy loose into the ceiling through the hole that she cut the camera out of.
She doesn't expect Stumpy to come back any time soon. She's pretty much sending there out to do some recon in the hopes that her naturally small size and flat stature will let her get around the facility undetected. Pokemon are pretty smart, so she's going to try and convey the following instructions:
1. DON'T LET ANYONE SEE YOU.
2. If you are seen, do not get caught at ANY cost. Use any moves necessary to secure your escape.
3. Your primary objective is to explore the facility and record a general layout of it beyond the areas where the subjects are allowed to wander.
4. Be careful, and remember Peridot loves you very much. Smooches.
Assuming Stumpy makes it back, I'll have some followup questions about the footage she manages to record but let's just see how successful the little bug is first!

1) The camera in the wall was smaller than a pinkie nail, and so the hole created by its removal is nowhere near big enough for Stumpy to get through.
2) I was not assuming that she cut a big hole all the way through the cell wall to the outside. Trying to get through the outer layer would be a problem and would also be super obvious. The assumption was that she was removing something from the interior of the wall, not cutting all the way through it. Right now my assumption is that the hole made to do this was a finger's width and nothing more.
So, at the moment there's no way to commence the "releasing Stumpy" part of the plan because there isn't a big or deep enough hole.
no subject
How about this: Can she clamber under the bunk beds and use the vorpal sword to cut a hole big enough to cast the beam from the pokeball outside the cell?
no subject
She can make it big enough to get Stumpy outside. He'll be gone for a while. By the time he comes back, he'll have gotten footage of the general area of the testing chambers/farm/holding cells, because otherwise he keeps running into closed doors. No technicians get in his way, but there isn't much more he can do without door access.
no subject
She was kind of hoping that Stumpy might at least have been able to find some kind of bypass around the doors, like vents or holes or something, but mostly she's just glad that her Pokemon didn't get confiscated for experiments! She gives her lots of praise when she returns, and the promise of lots of rainbow beans to come whenever they manage to bust out of this joint. Then she takes the camera off and returns her to the safety of her pokeball.
While reviewing the footage, is there at any kind of audio at all? Any conversations behind closed doors that the camera might have picked up on?
no subject
There is audio, but it's kind of dulled by the fact that its on the floor in a big hallway. The sound quality isn't really good enough to pick up things behind doors, as it was meant to observe a single, tiny room.
