Yeah, I'm REALLY happy we're all together. The other group, or groups, definitely don't sound like they're faring very well. The syringe is interesting. I'm trying to figure out what "pain transfer" could mean.

My personal theory was that somebody that was hurt could use the syringe and pass on their pain to somebody else. I mean that makes the most sense for something called "pain transfer"

which direction do you guys want me to scan?

You can only get the scan in one direction?

Would it be a bad idea to go down? It could lead us to the other group? I would say either Down or South but that is just my opinion.

Down will take us 2 rooms south of where we started in B-4829. Recall, the door to the south exit in that room was locked.

And yes. It appears the others can scan in multiple directions, but I am limited to one exit to scan. It may be better to get the results from Percy and Sam before I scan.

Still waiting on my results but will let you know asap since I know it will help determine which direction we should go in.

I am still interested in taking the elevator despite us not exploring this whole level.

I'll also let everyone know when I hear back.

I'm beginning to think the syringe was strategically placed here so that a radiation victim would stumble in here and decide to share their plight with someone else. But it almost seems...too obvious? Nothing's that obvious in my experience. I think there's more to it than meets the eye.

In any case, I've had second thoughts. Not worth wasting a medkit over the minute possibility that this does something beneficial. Besides, don't wanna upset the boy.

I'm worried about waiting too long to submit my scan direction, given the complications with mission control lately. Ya'll want me to check the elevator to see if there are traps below us? South to continue on our path? West?

IIRC, Percy said both of the last 2 phases that there were Monsters 4 rooms to the West, so there is definitely some exploring that could be done that way before we hit resistance...

Down to Level B could take us back towards the other group. Do we want to try and find them given what we may be receiving from Aldo?

I think you should scan South or the elevator.

I think um, both paths present positives. Taking the elevator could help us locate the other crew members. Or it could take us to Level A.

South would allow us to continue our search, possibly allowing us to eventually stumble upon a means to get the power back on or complete our mission for those of us who read the paperwork.

Along those lines. The mission from the paperwork seems like it would require us to be on Level B, right? We did see the crate we need to find there when we first boarded the Dalia.

I don't recall. B level is docking and habitation.

I'm going to check the elevator to see if there are traps in the room below us. I'll let everyone know what I learn.

Alright. I do think finding the other group, or groups, is the best way to go, personally.

Since nobody is using the pain transfer we should probably note this room incase somebody gets hurt we can always come back and attempt to transfer the pain onto a less active memeber. I know that sounds harsh but it is strategically smart to do if we decide to stay on this level. I realize that would be backtracking also if that happens but atleast we can backtrack to the elevator.
