Oh, yes. And do look out for anything that might indicate that you're allowed to take the rodent, bargain-wise.

You continue scraping away at the substance. This could take a while.
You interrupt your scraping for a moment to go fetch a FRALC jar.

I take a jar, and step out into the hallway, looking around.

You take a jar and step into the hallway. At the far end is a staircase, but it is blocked by an enormous pile of rubble. On the left and right are doors, both closed.

You take a jar and follow Piono.

You take a jar. You attempt to wrest open the crates, but they prove too tightly sealed, so you leave and head to the hallway.

There appears to be nothing interesting on the ceiling of either room, except for a lightbulb and a touch of the gel in the office's ceiling. The cleaning supplies appear to be a broom, mop, and dustpan, none of which seem immediately useful.
You construct a Kumi-stack.
You search for a heartbeat, not exactly knowing why or what that would mean, but you do not find one.

You ask Kumi if you can look at the stack, but since Kumi has not deigned to reply to you this turn, you decide against taking the stack. You examine the papers speaking of relocation, but unfortunately, the details are rather sparse. All it mentions is some sort of departure from the current location. The cleaning supplies don't seem especially helpful for crate opening.

You realize that this is an absurd amount for one person to be carrying and proceed to drop a jar, which doesn't break and rolls rather conveniently over to Kumi. It is really quite convenient. You also running tackle the door, further dislodging it, though it was already wide enough to exit through.
Whether Kumi or others will tell you any such info after you almost stole plot-critical items is up to them.

You smash the crates open, finding inside a knife that could be construed as belonging to an army of Switzerland, not that you know of such an absurd place. You also find several coins made of brass with the numeral ߁‎ on them, which you recognize as meaning one. A large amount of the crates seems empty, as if they were in the middle of being packed before they were sealed.

You pick a shard of glass off the floor and attempt to slash yourself with it. Pain shoots up your hand, but it does not penetrate deeply and no blood comes out.

>Hyperion: Look at self >Hyperion: Take jar, observe it

You look much the same as the others - gray-silver skin, humanoid form, lightly glowing blue eyes.
The jar's contents fizzle and shift around excitedly, rapidly changing color as it moves.

What will you do?

Let's see. Look at both sides of brass coins, tell Annis everything you know from the memos and papers, allow Hezetor to look at the stack of papers, and cradle the dead rat lovingly. It is your child now, Kumi. It is your child.

Oh, yeah. Var isn't getting any knowledge from Kumi after that stunt, certainly.

The doors seem fairly sturdy, and as you lightly push on it, you realize that it will swing open without any resistance if you push harder.

You take the objects and inspect yourself. Your skin is predictably silver-gray, and your eyes shine with a dim purple light.
On the other side of the brass coins is a picture depicting a circular seal with multiple glyphs you do not recognize on it.
You also inform the others of your findings and cradle the rodent.

You take those objects and head next to Kumi. You proceed to examine yourself. You have the same skin color as the others, and you do not notice any glow around your eyes. In fact, there is perhaps a slight darkening.

You do so.

The door opens easily. Inside, the room is almost completely bare, save for a large machine on the far wall. It contains a touch pad of some sort and a large claw hanging in the air. To speed things along you decide to approach the machine more closely, and notice a handprint shape glowing on the interface.

>Check in the Kumi stack about the industrial lasers, what was their supposed use? Why there are papers about those things here? >Pick up a FRALC jar. >Propose to elect dead rat as team mascot.

The industrial lasers seem to have been for sale to various companies and individuals; there is no clear unified purpose behind them. You have no idea why those papers are there.
You take a jar and vote dead rodent team mascot. You're not sure it could be described as a rat.

You examine the rubble. There are a few pieces of cement and brick that can be taken off easily enough, but a large portion of it is far too heavy to lift. You suppose you could use a brick as a makeshift weapon if necessary, but apart from that the task seems futile.

QUOTE (Cyanogynist @ (time=1496472769))

You proceed to follow.

You decide that eating the jar would likely be a terrible idea.

What will you do?
