Seems like doomsday's come early this year...

[grandbellknight]

Characters: Those searching for the life support terminals
Location: All around Luministi!
Time: During the quick-time event
Summary: Time to find those terminals, reset them (all at the same time, mind!) and fix this! ... But is it really going to be that easy?
Warnings: None (yet?)

Six terminals, six parties looking for them, and time is running out. ... Along with any breathable air.

Following Proctor's instructions (and unfortunately limited memory), everyone looking for the important life support terminals would have to begin searching. Though they don't know exactly where each one is hidden, they knew they'll be in locations that were important to those originally in charge of the town. So, with a few locations in mind, at least they aren't blindly wandering the town. The idea is to split up, to try to get to the terminals simultaneously.

Still, they'd have to act fast. As time passes, it gets just that much harder to breathe, after all.

((OoC: Feel free to use this post to log out your adventures in terminal-resetting. ♥ Prose or [action brackets], probably doesn't matter. Go, go, go!))

The button is gladly pressed! And once it is, the entire fountain shuts down and the central statue splits and folds out to reveal a terminal! It is a foot wide and looks like it can be removed from its holder. The screen shows a field of stars, but soon turns yellow with simple blue letters that read:

"To access this terminal, your choice is a simple one: A or B.

"Answer correctly, and you may proceed.

"Answer incorrectly, and you may not live long enough to regret it."

Then two buttons appear onscreen, one with a bright A on it and a B on the other, both of them waiting for a decision to be made.

Oh dear sweet troll Jesus.

Is the terminal threatening her? Because that's what it sounds like. After lifting the terminal free and setting it on the edge of the fountain, she stares at her choices blandly. Maybe A and B are correct and incorrect in that order. Her hand hovers over choice A.

But wait, that feels too easy. It has to be reversed with A as incorrect and B as correct. It would be stupid to make A actually correct. Her hand drifts over toward B.

But what if it isn't? She'd be kicking herself over it as a dead troll. Maybe she should close her eyes and jam her hand all over the screen and save herself the headache. There's no logic to the choice either way, so she can hardly be blamed for picking wrongly. But she'd rather not accidentally die, too. Getting killed on some human satellite a universe away because she presses the wrong set of pixels when she should have picked the ones four inches to the left oh god this is stupid.

She presses the A button. Her name has like five of them, they can't be all that bad.

The chosen button flashes for a few seconds, then the whole screen goes black as though it were thinking...

It's black for a good minute before another screen appears that reads:

"To reset hot water production systems, press when ready."

Then a single button appears, waiting to be pressed. It seems the terminal won't tell her if she chose right or wrong. But once the button is ready to be pressed, do so.

[ooc: To make things easier, we can assume Kanaya has waited for the other hot water terminal to be found before she presses it.]

[Can do.]

She appreciates that it didn't immediately explode in her face, at least. While the terminal is blacked out, she decides to take it with her to wherever needs her next. Once word goes out on the network that the other hot water terminal has been located, she activates her own like there's no day after tomorrow.
