Part 40: Queens Hospital

Bonus Post by Gillian Seed

"Well, well.... what do we have here?"

My ass has road burn This isn't my idea of a good time guys Someone in the Junkers is trying to kill me, and evidence shows its either Chief or Harry. What the hell is going on? How could a Junker be a Snatcher?

We need to get to the bottom of this Metal, Random.We might as well investigate the hospital now I guess...

Gillian and Random have arrived at Queens Hospital. It's time to end the Snatcher menace! (We are not near the end of the game, if you're wondering.)

MOVE > GO INSIDE

Metal: All right, now entering their security system... ...lock disabled.
Gillian: All right Random, let's go.
Random: I'm ready for anything.
Metal: All right. I'll open the door.

Gillian: There has to be an entrance to the lower level in here somewhere.

MOVE > DOOR 1

Random: Looks like an operating room.

LOOK AROUND

Metal: Now looking about the room.

Nothing in here.

Gillian: Let's go out to the hallway.

EXIT > MOVE > DOOR 2

Random: Some kind of a research lab?

Nothing in here, either.

EXIT > MOVE > DOOR 3

Random: Pitch black in here, ain't it...
Gillian: If there's a way down, it has to be here.
Random: I bet you're right, Gillian.

USE METAL GEAR > TURN ON LIGHT

Gillian: All right, turn your light on.
Metal: Yes sir. Coming on... The light is now on. I turn control of it over to you, Gillian.

[Metal repeats his instructions for using the light.]

Random: You have the honors, Gillian.

Random: That's a famous optical illusion, isn't it? ...I get it, their eyes don't register optical illusions. We better check that out.
Metal: It's not something a human would notice easily. It could be a sign of some kind.

INVESTIGATE

Gillian: I bet this vase is some kind of a switch.
Metal: All right, I will try lifting it up.

Metal: Oh!

We make a discovery.

PEEP

Metal: It appears to go straight down.

INVESTIGATE > STAIRWAY

Metal: Unlike the hallway, these stairs do not have any dust on them.
Random: In other words, our friends use this, right?

INVESTIGATE > MOTION DETECTOR

Metal: I don't read anything at the moment.

DESCEND STAIRS

We descend into the basement of Queens Hospital.

Since this place is a replica of upstairs, let's see if we can find the switches for those doors.

INVESTIGATE > RECEPTION DESK

Metal: There are switches here to open the doors.

INVESTIGATE > SWITCHES

Metal: What's this? Unlike the first floor, there are only two door switches!

USE SWITCHES > SWITCH 1

Metal: All right, I'll push switch #1.

USE SWITCHES > SWITCH 2

Metal: All right, I'll push switch #2.

MOVE > DOOR 1

Gillian: All right, let's check out the first room.

Gillian: The lights are on, unlike upstairs.

LOOK > AROUND ROOM

Metal: There is an operating table in the middle of the room. This appears to be their real treatment area.
Gillian: With these lights, it actually looks like a real hospital.

LOOK > CEILING

Metal: Various X-ray devices have been installed in the ceiling.

LOOK > MONITORS

Metal: A number of brand-new medical monitors are installed.

LOOK > OPERATING TABLE

Metal: It appears to be a standard operating table. Cables run from it to a number of the machines around the room.

INVESTIGATE > MOTION DETECTOR

Metal: I'm not picking up any movement, at least not anymore. There was some movement, but I've lost it now.

INVESTIGATE > AROUND ROOM

Random: It's a pretty big place. Can't really see everything at once. Let's take a look from one side to the other.

Okay, okay, Random! Yeesh.

LOOK OVER

Metal: All right, let's look over the entire room.

Gillian: Don't scare me like that. It's just a specimen!

LOOK > SKELETON

Metal: It's a model of a human skeleton. No doubt used for anatomical study.

INVESTIGATE > SKELETON

Metal: This is rather grotesque. It's somewhat distorted. For a medical model, it's quite inaccurate.
