Way to the Study
Ryan: Let’s go. It’s time to break into that lair.
Task: Go through the Film theater in the cache mode.
The men almost run upstairs, you slam the door closed behind you. Isami is waiting for you already, the blade of her sword gleaming in the light of the chandelier.
Isami: Did you get it?
Ryan: Yes. Help me pour it in. Feather, the test. It’s still the safest way to lock the door.
John: Give it to me.
The iron monster is droning, a short jet of plasma is gushing from the nozzle. Ryan pulls a small stepladder from the couch.
Ryan: Don’t forget gloves. In five minutes you’ll be able to make toasts on it.
John nods, gets on the ladder, presses the burner to the hatch. Waits.
Bill: Ahem.
The old man on the doorway looks at you reproachfully and shakes his head.
Bill: I see. Well, good luck.
Disappears in the dusk of the corridor. Jim and Jack pass by and the second observes the burner for a few moments, then shows a thumb up. The Disciples pay no attention to them.
John: Yes. Come on...
John swings his arm, hitting the ceiling with the burner, again and again. There’s a crash. The hatch drops somewhere outside. The man hisses, grasping the still roasting hot edges, he pulls himself up...
You completed Apprentices' task. Your reputation with the Apprentices has increased by 1. You received some points of freedom and some tokens.
Ryan: Come on, forward. Hurry, Feather, hurry! If they are there, he will need help now.
