Castinus - human thief

Castinus smiles in satisfaction as the contraption reveals the image Ulster wanted to revisit. He exchanges glances with any comrades who will meet his eye at the grotesqueness of these alien creatures.

The images scare Furuk and he avoids looking at them by searching the room.

Yes, it would take us much time to study this archive and I am not sure our focus would be warranted.

Ulster looks at the pictures with great interest. "Fascinating. And utterly unnatural," he says.

"It looked like we had maps, too. Do you think you could bring those back up?"

Castinus, now and old pro at this microfilm stuff, advances to the first map. "What do you make of that," he asks.

OC: Managed to get back most of my lost PDFs. Woohoo!

Might be a map of this very place... Castinus, can you find where we are?

Dieter - Mage

Dieter makes a long whistle. Castinus, please stop at the third map. Remember how we got here? See, we came in there and traveled along there and ended up there. Dieter draws along the map with his finger. This place is very large and its only a single floor of many.

Castinus returns to the third image. "Does this place ever end?" he wonders, his voice a mix of awe and frustration.

Grimes sighs and stares blankly at the images. "Blah blah blah... crazy pictures."

He stand by idly tapping the shaft of Wave on the floor as he waits for smart people to make a choice or prudent suggestion...

Ulster tries hard to memorize the maps but fails miserably. He never had a head for straight lines. They aren't natural.

"Anyone have a pen and paper to copy down the third and sixth maps before we move on?" he asks. "Might come in handy."

Castinus does Ulster one better and presses a tiny picture on the screen. From the front of the table, a slit opens and paper is vomited out. The pages are warm and have the images from the screen on them (please see Maps and handouts) in slightly purplish ink. They smell funny but you decide they aren't toxic. They have a slight curl to them, like scrolls, although they are decidedly not scrolls you have ever encountered before.

The party leaves this strange room, dead inhabitants and all, and heads southeast...

Which way, A, B, or C?

"Now that we have the gray card, maybe we should try some doors we couldn't open before?" wonders Ulster. "That middle section seems important."

I'd suggest A, starting with the door in the east wall of the middle block (i.e., west of the "A" marking).

The card reader area for this door is yellow. When you try some of the cards, they don't work but the grey card does the trick and the door slides open.
Image
This appears to be some sort of ante-chamber. There is a moldy growth
Image
covering many of the surfaces in this room, including hooks next to the door and infesting what appears to be some sort of blue, cloth-like armor.
Image
The mold does not appear to be alive, by the druid's careful eye, but has degraded every surface and probably made the armor unusable.

There are a number of doors here, each clearly marked in the language used throughout the ship.

Grimes - FIghter

Grimes wrinkles his brow at the sight of the mold and holds back on entry. "Anyone know what the writing on those doors says?"
