Untempted by the vials, the party moves through the security room and tries the orange key card door. Again, the grey card works.

As you open the door, a security golem comes in. He appears hostile but, upon scanning the grey card, says: Glad you could come by, Sir. Gary's in the drunk tank again. It then toodles around the security room, making its apparent rounds.
Image
This room has a number of small cells within, like a monk's chambers. A row of short, projecting studs on the top and bottom of each cell front. In the center of the cell front is a small post with a card lock similar to those found on other doors, set to orange card. Below this is a button and a dial.

One cell has a strange transparent glow in its doorway. Within is a skeleton dressed in rotting clothing.

There is a metal chest on the floor furthest from the door between the two last cells.

The security guard approaches. Yes, sir. What security concern can I assist you with at this time?

"I don't think poor Gary's ever leaving the drunk tank," says Ulster. He tries his orange card in the door slot.

Grimes - Fighter

Grimes snorts at the sight of the skeleton and says "Gary - I told him that the sauce would be the death of him."

Grimes watches the robot with a measure of caution as the others inspect the chest and room. "Careful, guys."

The metal chest doesn't immediately open. It has a card reader like the doors do.

The skeleton is clothed in a rotting one-piece uniform. Castinus translates the tag on the chest area as "Gary G." It has no possessions.

The lid opens slowly. Within are two strange helmets, 12 of the egg-shaped weapons of the blue variety, and two needler pistols that appear to be fully loaded.

The helmets look like this:

Grimes whispers to Dieter "Deets! Ask that thing (the security bot) what the egg looking thing are, and how to work them, eh?"

Dieter - Mage

Good thinking Grimes. Dieter will pickup one of the helmets and one of the egg things. Approaching the security golem: How do I use these? He will say to the thing whilst holding up the egg and helmet.

Castinus, whose head was once again in the stars of late, looks with skepticism at the two helmets. He'll await the security golem's report.

I wonder why, he murmurs to no one in particular, the golem doesn't know that Gary's dead.
These are ghouls. They hang out in graveyards, they have long tongues, and they eat people.
"Oh, well, that could be helpful!"
