Part 127: Ep. 91: Into The Unknown
---

---

Sam leaves his posse behind and heads around back. We've worked long and hard to collect these four pieces of scrap salvage and it's time to go chuck them into the water pump all willy-nilly. Willy-nilly is the best nilly!



We need to connect the water source to the outlet pipe and then hook up a bunch of gears to fix the pump. ... the gear-driven solution is almost sensible in this case!

Of course we should. Sam calls HQ.

Sam assures Roxie that he will bring her some water, says goodbye, and hangs up. The next order of business is to fill up the ornate cup that he found in the Sun Shrine. That done--off-camera--he updates his notes--

--and runs to the ledge, leaps off, lands on his ass in chest-high not-pure water, runs at top speed around to the front of the temple, and screeches to a stop by Lyndsay. My best guess is that there's maybe half an inch of water left in the cup after all that.


DOUBLE STANDARDS

Lyndsay takes the cup and vaults onto the pedestal.

Not mentioned anywhere: this is the point of no return. Once we activate the fourth and final pedestal, we are on rails to the game's ending. There is no way but forward once Sam presses the button.
Sam presses the button.

... I guess she put the cup in her backpack?



With all four pedestals activated, everybody feels free to jump down and stare expectantly at the temple.

A moss-covered ramp rises slowly from the moat--

--and slots into place.

Everybody cheers! Hooray for us!

And Sam leads the way up the ramp... into the unknown!
(And unlocks some Aztec clothing and new dispatch missions for his trouble.)
