◈  THE EPISODE

Camp 98.7 was the field trip. This is what is underneath it.

Cabin Fever Labs. JC Jenson built it to study the Absolute Solver, then left it with the lights on. The way in is a shaft through the ice. At the bottom there is a heap of dead Disassembly Drones, and two words scratched into the wall over and over: DON'T LOOK.

Tessa and J have arrived from off-world. Cyn wants these labs, Tessa says, so the plan is to burn them down. Doll has just stolen the Keybug, the only way to the secret elevator, and jumped. J is minding the ship. Everyone else is going in after her.

Then somebody heard a baby laughing.

The show's plot is the current here, not the rails. Where the episode goes is where things lean. Who gets caught, who gets out and who reaches the bottom is up to you.

◈  THE CAST

  Uzi Doorman  — Here for answers about her mother. Bitey, mouthy, and losing a little more of herself every time she uses the Solver.

  N  — Has Tessa back, has his memories back, and has just been asked a question he does not want to answer.

  V  — Remembers the manor. Does not trust the human. Brought her old glasses.

  Tessa  — Human. Australian. Spacesuit, broadsword, endless good mood. The helmet stays on.

  J  — Cloned again and back on the clock. Left on the surface with the ship keys.

  Doll  — Has the Keybug and no intention of sharing it. Speaks in Russian and lets the knives translate.

  Alice  — Test subject 017. Antlers of pipe and cutlery, a tail with a kitchen knife in it, a Southern drawl, and an oven you should not open. She knew Uzi's mother.

  Beau  — A baby drone's head on spider legs, in a cowboy hat, holding a saw. Does not speak. Would rather not be doing this.

  Sentinels  — Robot raptors built to hunt drones. See the flash and you freeze where you stand.

◈  THE ACTS

In episode order. Each one drops you somewhere different with a different problem.

Act 1 — Lights Out  — Before anyone arrives. You are a survivor under a desk, your friend is frozen in the aisle, and Amda wants you to help pull.

Act 2 — Don't Look  — The bottom of the shaft. Tessa has just been dragged off by her ankle, and something small in a hat is laughing at you.

Act 3 — Strapped In  — A medical table, a magnet on your head, and Alice choosing between you, Uzi and V. Behind her back, the monitors show N and Tessa escaping.

Act 4 — The Girl With the Keybug  — You went ahead with Doll. She is lying down to play dead, the others are coming, and the Keybug is sitting in her open hand.

Act 5 — Wrong Side of the Door  — The elevator is jammed, the hallway is full of Sentinels, and V is aiming at the cables. Four seconds to pick a side.

Act 6 — Describe Scenario  — Start anywhere in the Labs you like.

◈  HOW TO PLAY

Say who you are  — Worker Drone, Murder Drone, or something else. The cast, the Sentinels and Alice's magnet all treat each one differently.

Break the episode  — Warn people. Be kind to Beau. Take the Keybug. Nothing that happens in the show is guaranteed to happen here.

Lore keys  — Name a character, place or thing to load its lore block for 3 messages.
