>Hug Syringe, Read Label

They don't really have a label per se. One says "Counter" and the other says "Suppress." There's some fine text on the Counter syringe that says something to the equivalent of "Only use this if you absolutely positively need to."

>Use Counter Syringe on Arm
...I'm not sure I'm all that keen on shooting up some weird chemical without knowing what it is or does - even if it -is- in an Emergency Kit.

For all I know it could be a kill-chem.

>>240912
they flooded your chamber with suppress before you broke out. so you are full of it. meaning countering it is a good idea.

When we broke out someone mentioned suppress, and that we shouldn't have been able to break out because of it. Since there's two syringes, one for counter and the other for suppress... I'm willing to bet the counter reverses the effects of suppress.

It's logical. Use it!

If you can, switch off your stomach acid production and empty it. Then, drink the Counter. That way, if it's poison, you can vomit it back up, but you also won't denature it with your stomach acids.

Use counter suppress syringe on your thigh. It's the opposite of suppress. They tried to flood you with suppress so that must be what's keeping you down. Use counter to get rid of it.

I take a few minutes to collect my thoughts. The haze that clouds my mind seems to lessen after the injection, instinctual things about my body piercing through the fog, while others still remain swathed in shadow.

It's not long before I can control the tendrils on my back just as well as my arms or legs. It's a little creepy, but for some reason it feels...right.

I also become aware of the fact that a great deal more of my own biology is now under my specific control. Albeit it would take time, but I feel like I could do damn near anything I want with my body.

...shut up, that's not what I meant.

>>241025

Oh, we didn't say a word, Chloe. :3c

but yeah, looks like spikes are go now. blades are probably still out so i wouldn't try that. see how quickly you can retract and extend those things. if really fast then i recommend keeping them inside and hidden so that you have surprise extra limbs if you have to fight anything.

[Welcome to the Stat Screen!

There are three stats. ATTACK, DEFENSE, and SPEED. You can allocate points from your point pool to these stats to improve that given field, increasing Chloe's effectiveness in that stat. You will gain access to higher point pools the greater the progress in the quest you make, further increasing the amount of points you can put in a given stat. The higher value a stat is, the more effective Chloe is at it. There is one restriction however.

1) You must leave AT LEAST one point in any given stat.

Moving points takes time for Chloe. Points must first be deducted from the stat(s) they are coming from, sent to the point pool, and then finally transferred to the desired stat.

As of right now, you have 5 points total. They have been assigned to a Balanced configuration (2/1/2). You may decide now if you wish to remain in this balanced configuration, or if you wish to customize the Stat Loadout. If you choose the latter, please take it to the Discussion Thread located here: http://quest.lv/kusaba/questdis/res/313873.html

If a consensus cannot be made, the Loadout will automatically default to the Balanced configuration.]

>>241025
Still a nice bonus when you do have free time and a little pervy. But right now is some serious shit so... umm investigate the tuuuuuuuuubes

All I can think is to move one point from attack to speed, so you can really motor. Let's just leave it balanced for now.

Do practice shapeshifting, though. Can you take on a different appearance? Not necessarily taking on someone else's shape, but just changing certain of your features?

You'll need a new lab coat, but if you put one on now, you'll just ruin it.

Try the computer.

[Apparently I need to make a note that you only have FIVE points -total- to work with. You do not have 2/1/2 = 5 plus 5.]

>>241033
Neat. Ok, now check that console in the center of the room and then we should probably be on our way towards wherever that thing that wants us to save it is.

[2/1/2 is what was suggested the most.]

I decide to keep myself relatively balanced, not leaning favorably towards any specific role. I feel a little bit quicker than before. I know it sounds strange but it's like my body is responding faster to what my brain tells it to do.

>Examine Computer Terminal(s)
The large one appears to be a master terminal, with the others being secondary and tertiary consoles to whatever this thing is in the middle of the room. The moment I touch the panel it hums to life, flickering on and displaying a routine boot-up screen followed by what I presume is its normal function.

After some fumbling around, I find out that this appears to be a "Genetic Holo-Sequencer" - basically a glorified microscope almost. It can display genetic strains and cells in impeccable detail, in full three-dimensions. Last access date was...02.15.2209.

Strange. For a science facility there sure is a lot of crap here which is in disuse.

hmmm, look up yours.

Probably cutboacks in government funding.

Uh...Let's keep following the trail to Queen. Take a peek in the rooms you pass to see if there are any looting prospects.

>>241759
You're probably not going to get alot of useful things out of it. But see if they have yours stored somewhere and if there's any way to make a copy of it.

Then we should probably head towards central processing or whatever it was we were supposed to do.

Does this mean anything important to us? Knowing our blueprints are funky doesn't help us much. Look up Valcien.

>>241870
That pattern is impossible with a helix. What you have is not DNA.

Interesting. It looks like you were on very good terms with the scientists here.
The room with the tubes had gone unused three years after they finalized your genome, meaning that they discontinued that part of the program no more than two batches after yourself.
The complete lack of any restraints or security measures in the tube means they had no trouble getting you in and weren't expecting trouble getting you out. More than that, you were wearing no control devices and this entire facility is designed around ease of access instead of security.
This all suggests that you were cooperating with them.

Before you go visit Queen you should drop by residential. Dollars to donuts you'll find that you have a room instead of a cell. If that's the case, then this conversation with queeny is going to be very interesting.

Yeah, look up Valcien and Keter class protocols.

Yeah, but it's seeming more and more likely that at least some of it was based on real events.

Tubes have nothing in them. Not even any liquid. Looks like something set up for large-scale cloning though.

None that I can find. I think there was a reason why it said "Emergency Use Only". But I'll keep my eyes peeled. There's got to be some kind of chemistry section to this place, seems like a good bet that there'd be some there.
