Hey Garthon. I am all caught up.

I vote we go South...what good is heading for the escape pods if we all suffocate before we arrive?

That, and I don't like the idea of leaving one unexplored floor for another one. I am sure there will be plenty to see on this level. The elevator isn't going anywhere...

As for the weapons, all I would ask is that you please keep them away from Felicity. I don't think I trust her not to shoot me.

Also, someone is on the next level up...

When I say the next level up, I don't mean directly above us.

And Keisha, I know this ship well, I can detect their movements. I imagine it is the other group, but I can't be certain of that.

From our current location, they are one floor up, 2 grid squares north, and 1 grid square east.

I too find it odd they could have found a way to another level already. They must have had access to an elevator last phase.

Dr. Elias, can I probe a bit about your ability? Surely it has limits. Is it just the closest group to us? How many floors up or down are you able to search (assuming the closest group would be multiple floors below or above us)? Feel free to not answer, I'm just very curious at this point.

I can only detect the closest player to us. There may be others beyond that, I simply detect the nearest. I don't believe this ability has a range limit. If the nearest player was separated from us by several levels, I'd still detect them.

My results are given like this:

I am told how many floors up or down they are, followed by how many grid squares North, West and East they are in relation to our position. I can pin point their exact location with this system.

Da Shuang @ 1/5/2015 23:16 How we know other group above? Alias can sense people above us

And perhaps to repay me for this, you could stop calling me 'Alias'

Aha!

I have found the book, Morwena.

Perhaps as we move forward I will be able to read a few excerpts...
