*she followed everyone out of the lab a bit ago and is sitting down with everyone else with a whole raw fish on his plate* *he then eats the fish and throws her head back to swallow it whole*

"mmm pretty good fish" *spits out the bones on to his plate* "oh uh, they keep raw fish for me since that's all i can digest safely here, i tried other foods once and yeah it didn't go well"

-🐬 

Bubby: "They have something for every kind of dietary requirement huh?"

[bmerdnewgame]

*To Rowan and Bubby* “That V-1N is proper depressing… I’m just hoping we actually get to do some testing and experiment”

- 🐶

Rowan: He's busy listening to some music. Head lightly bobbing and mouthing some of the words as he looks over some documents.

Bubby: "Eh some folks are just like that. Testing and experiments are probably going to be starting early next week, once XG1 is more use to us being around."

[bmerdnewgame]

Ah, right! We should eat before we go back! *She scrambles to get a sandwich* -👑

Bubby: “You don’t need to rush, we get an hour long lunch. But you probably should eat something since we only have 30 minutes left.”

[bmerdnewgame]

Unfortunately, it's nothing we aren't used to. We are nothing more than tools who's jobs at the end of the day is to assist our superiors in one form or another. It's sad, but true.

=V-1N

Coomer: “Well, yes that is part of the job description for RAs, but you are more than tools, you are people as well.”

Coomer: “Perhaps we should decorate the lab space as well! I’m sure I can appropriate a bit of funds for something nice like a couch!”

[bmerdnewgame]

A shame then, that you will be told so many things. You cannot stop it.

It is the nature of living . To hear and be told and tell- 🦚

Rowan: "That's what earplugs and headphones are for." He pulls out a walkman CD player and puts on headphones, playing some tunes for himself as he finishes his lunch.

[bmerdnewgame]

Oh but you should know, Rowan.

*he returns*

The second had a brief escape before getting returned to his prison~- 🦚

Rowan: "Don't involve me in your bullshit. And that's pretty common, damn thing keeps escaping, hence the muzzle and collar system. Anyway, I want to know no more things."

[bmerdnewgame]

“Poor thing…” *Staying away from the creature*

- 🐶

There's some general talking behind the lab door, too muffled to make out. But not too long after there's a very pissed off roar and the sound of something slamming.

[bmerdnewgame]

Of course. Of course! So sorry. Just got… a little rattled there. But you’re right, Doctor Bubby! This is just the beginning! -👑

Bubby: "Exactly. Besides, I'm sure we'll experience wayyy more difficult things as we get on with the lab." He laughs.

[bmerdnewgame]

“Black cat child with many eyes. He looks soft.” Looks like he’s staring at nothing. -💀

Rowan: "...What are you talking about?" He asks before shaking his head.

Rowan: "You know what? Never mind. I don't want to know."

[bmerdnewgame]

Well, this is all less than ideal but… I’m sure we can still make this work. We… we have to make this work. -👑

Bubby: "Uh... Okay? It is only the first day. Nothing is set in stone when we're only at the beginning of all this."

"Believe me, it takes a lot to make Harold upset about anything and the only way you can really fuck up is if you don't do a lick of your jobs. Or get mauled by the creatures. But that's an entirely separate issue."

[bmerdnewgame]

El wiiwii…

Rowan: "What?"

[bmerdnewgame]

Oh, you know, musing to myself derisively about BM's actual intentions and how we're nothing but tools meant to be torn and broken and only relevant for the short time we're "needed". Aaahh, the most authentic Black Mesa experience~ Am I right?

[They grab a veggie sandwich and just walks off]

—Goat

Coomer: "I see..." He frowns, "That's a very pessimistic way to view things here, even if there's a note of truth to it." He shakes his head.

[bmerdnewgame]

Hmph. Buzzkill- 🦚

There's a bunch of raised voices in the lab and then suddenly there's a loud pop noise and the lights go out only for the emergency lights to turn on. The doors automatically unlock and a creature runs out the lab like a bat out of hell.

XB2: It doesn't even seem interested in you as it tries to run down the hallway, muzzle still on as it dashes.

Barney: "Shit it got out." He dashes out the door.

Barney: "Dammit I don't wanna have to keep doing this." He pulls out a remote of some kind and presses a button...

XB2: It lets out a pained yelp as it gets some kind of shock and a voice from the collar says 'Tranquilizer Administered'. Its movements become uncoordinated and then it slumps to the ground.

Barney: "Right... Back to the containment unit." He sighs and takes the critter up in his arms and pulls it back into the lab. Putting it back into the cell just as the power is officially restored and the lab door shuts properly again.

[bmerdnewgame]

You mean the same ones who affirm only those who're basically 1 step from being sent to the trash compactor are send to Lambda? Those lab leads?

—Goat

Coomer: "Well... I don't plan on sending anyone to the trash compactor... Who were you speaking to RA Goat?"

[bmerdnewgame]

*and 🦚 follows Barney without even trying to hide. Nosey*- 🦚

Barney: "Hey now, you ain't authorized for this lab. You need to stay with your assigned work." He says unlocking the door to some yelling.

He manages to slip in and keeps you locked out.

[bmerdnewgame]

We will ensure that we are tight-lipped around those who aren't in our sector. Though I will agree with 🧿, it is refreshing to not be locked out of important information regarding our assigment!

=V-1N

Barney: "That's really good of y'all-" Something on his person beeps, and he pulls out a pager and then sighs.

Barney: "Sorry folks I gotta get going. Seems Chell is having trouble getting the critter off of one of the androids." And he heads off to go get to the other lab.
