silver legs, swinging free - steamy hot button pushing

[carolcat]

Try to activate some sort of weapon. What good is a robot that can't kill something?

the only weapon which you bear are the sharp finger-like talons on your hands
perhaps they're sharp enough to inflict damage, but damage isn't in your interest

>look for lightswitch of sorts; watch out for critter.

there's a large, almost menacing switch next to the door you entered through
you grasp the handle and try to lift it up, but it is reluctant to move
changing your position, you grasp it with both hands and give it another go
as this yields no result, you continue trying in increasingly comical methods until you at last give up

the movement sounds a bit further off now

the movement sounds a bit further off now

Wait for it to be completely gone.

[Swampivorous]

Go to the nearest weapons vendor and buy an Unkempt Harold and a Slagga.  Wield them both and start runnin' and gunnin' while shouting at the top of your lungs.

[carolcat]

Wait for it to be completely gone.

you pause and wait, hoping that the creature causing the sounds will leave
crouching down against the wall, you listen closely, tuning into the silence until all that you hear is the dull ringing of your audials

you're fairly certain the creature has left

[blueblur121]

Chase it down and beat it to death. Your arms are made of metal. Use them like clubs.

[Swampivorous]

The one time I was being genuinely serious I get ignored.  typical lol.

[Ben Watts]

Walk through while feeling the walls for walking aids.

[carolcat]

Chase it down and beat it to death. Your arms are made of metal. Use them like clubs.

as it stands presently, you know nothing about the creature except that it makes noise
it could be mind-bogglingly large for all you know, and it could be absolutely terrifying
your imagination runs wild with increasingly crazy depictions of the creature you never met
at least, it runs wild until you decide you've had enough of that and promptly shut it up

Walk through while feeling the walls for walking aids.

you stand back up, legs still shaking and drawing out soft clinks as the metal plates collide
once you're sure your legs are steady you begin your cautious walk down the aisle of over-sized test tubes
their dim glow and sheer size looms upon you and brings out an ominous feeling equal to that of the darkness you left behind

for when you were in the dark you couldn't see due to the lack of light
but in here, you cannot see past the thickly bubbling fluids in the vats

you can see a door up ahead

[masterockets]

Examine the liquids
if you can, try to take a sample of it

[blueblur121]

Examine the liquids
if you can, try to take a sample of it

Scan it and try to find out its molecular structure and promptly find out what properties it has.

[Ben Watts]

Quickly open the door, go through, and close it, so the monster cannot follow.

[Cybertails1998]

Peek through door

[carolcat]

Examine the liquids
if you can, try to take a sample of it

you approach one of the containers and you spot a small panel next to it
gently brushing off the thick coating of dust, you take a look at the text

>specimen type: experimental
>entry date: 12-04.3489
>fluid type: UHC

it doesn't seem to mean much to you

you don't see a way to get into the container aside from smashing it

Peek through door

you approach the door and try opening it and with a surge of relief, you discover that you can
giving a strong push, the door gives way and makes a tired metallic groan at you

you stop as something runs across the catwalks overhead

[Ben Watts]

-->

[carolcat]

you step through the door and find yourself confronted by a looming staircase
up ahead is a slim rectangle of pure light, shining forth and calling to you as a singing voice in the mountains
the feel of dank, depressing air is stirred by that of the refreshment of that light so near yet so far from you

behind you the clamor on the catwalk continues
