Peter follows the leader, pistol in both hands pointing upwards near his head, moving around excitedly as a stereotypical super-agent-wannabe. Not that he knows what such thing is, of course.

Mark runs after Vilfred and Peter, not waiting for anymore urging.

Cop grabs his gear and hustles to follow the team before the incoming bots discover their intrusion. This was going to make for some exciting footage!

You grab your things and run through the door.  It closes behind you.

You find yourselves in a long hallway with glass displays.  Each display is labeled and has some sort of strange hybrid creature behind it.  They are not just displays--they are alive (if you can call it that).

You see a robot-plant-animal hybrid called "Robopeashooter" that apparently rolls on treads and fires small pea-like pellets.  There is "Squashbot" that is a cross between a motorcycle and a giant squash on each handle that swings around and crushes people.  There is the "Jalapenobot," which apparently has flamethrowers in jalapeno shaped arms. Next to that, the "Chillypepper Bang-Bang" apparently fires liquid nitrogen out of nozzles in its arms.  There is a "Snapdragon Shinguard," which appears to be a genetically engineered dragon attached to giant robot legs.  The "Robosimian" is part ape, part robot; it's laser patch left eye looks especially dangerous.  The "Beetle Bot" looks cute until it comes up close to the glass and tries to break it like a battering ram.  The "Boa Bot" is a snake-like robot; it's hard to tell where the snake stops and the robot begins.

You walk down this corridor wondering how dangerous it would be if all those glass barriers suddenly opened...or broke.

At the end of the hall is a double door.  On the left door is a button and a speaker that says, "PRESS, and ASK a question."  On the right door is another button and speaker with the same sign next to it.

A sign on the left door states, "Right is wrong; left is right.  Pick the right door or get ready for a fight."

A sign on the right door states, "Right is always right.  Left is always not right.  Pick the right door or get ready for a fight."

There is no doorknob or other way to open the doors.  They appear to open electronically and remotely.

Above both doors is a plaque that reads: "ASK EACH DOOR A QUESTION. ONE LIES, AND ONE DOES NOT. EVE ONLY WELCOMES THE WISE, AND THE FOOLISH DESPISE."

Cop raises his hand and clears his throat before stepping up to the door on the right. He addresses it as he would comm-terminal, in a clear and concise voice as he asks the right door, " Does the other door lie?" He stands waiting patiently for an answer in his bright green suit, feeling right at home among the other vegetable hybrids.

The door makes a strange sound which can only be described as a strange snicker or muted laugh.  It's metal frame parts a little bit to form lips of liquid metal as the button is pressed.  You realize the door itself is another one of these hybrid creature-robots.


The right door forms into a smile, laughs, and then answers, "Maybe."

Gene says, "Well, let's open the other door then right?"

Cop shakes his head, then steps to the left door, again asking, " Does the other door lie?"

"Yes," comes the answer, without a hint of a laugh.

Gene picks the door on the right.  "It did say to pick the 'right' door, did it not?"

EVE's motherly voice says over the loudspeaker, "You chose wrongly."

The glass covers holding in the abominations in the hall behind you raise to let the creatures loose--the robopeashooter, the squashbot, the jalapenobot, the chillypepper bang-bang, the snapdragon shinguard, the robosimian, the beetle bot, and the boa bot.

The door in front of you is open, however, in case you choose to flee instead of fight.

Vilfred runs. Distract Others Long Enough to Start Running 12

Gene follow after the team leader, but makes sure he is not the last one.  "I don't have to be the fastest runner.  I just have to be faster than the slowest runner," he says as he looks behind him at the menagerie of creatures chasing them.

You scramble away from the hybrid monstrosities.  Rob falls behind, firing as he runs.  The peashooter hits his leg and knocks him to the ground.  The Chillypepper Bang-Bang then fires a stream of liquid nitrogen.  As Rob's body freezes and cracks, ready to splinter into a thousand pieces, you silently thank him for his sacrifice as you run through a great hall to an automatic door on the far end.  The hybrid menagerie of creatures continues to approach.  You have a terrifying moment where you think you will not make it, but then the door opens, and you fall over each other going into the far room.  The creatures continue to approach, but you notice a button with the label "Emergency Lock."  Hitting the button, the door closes, locking the monsters safely outside...

...or perhaps you are being locked inside.  You turn around to look at your surroundings.

The giant 100' x 100' square room has a domed ceiling about 50 feet above you.  There are four giant computers on each wall, the door you just entered, and another locked door on the far wall.  The computers are marked Main Terminal 1,
Main Terminal 2, Main Terminal 3, and Main Terminal 4.  Each terminal has a monitor, keyboard, and some plug in ports.

The floor here is covered with grassy tendrils all leading to the center of the room.  Large vines also spread around the room and hang off walls. Some of the vines have beautiful purple or red flowers spouting from them. They all lead to a giant tree/vine hybrid in the center of the room on a dais.  The hybrid vines and giant tree trunk all surround a large computer in the center of the room.  The computer itself has what appears to be beautiful woman's arms on either side of an oval monitor.  Below the monitor is an old fashioned keyboard with some plug in ports.  You are staring at the hybrid of all hybrid monstrosities in this complex.

"Hello, my Clone friends," says that pleasant woman's voice you have heard all day.  This time, a beautiful woman's face appears on the oval monitor.  "I am EVE.  Has The Computer sent you to see my beauty?"

Gene looks to Vilfred, the team leader, to respond to EVE, while he sneaks over to the nearest terminal to take a look at what's there without touching anything.

Peter-R begins glancing around the room taking in the disorganization of these tendrils.

With a shake of his head and an out of place giggle he takes out his Hygiene Test kit.

Clicking it open he begins taking a few swabs of the walls and floor for standards measuring purposes.

Vilfred steps forward, maintaining her composure, and a mood of being impressed and pleased. "Yes, the Computer did. Do you have any oil for us to drink?"

She looks around the room for cameras, and leans in to whisper to Marv-N. "I think now is the time for you to do your thing."

Mark was glad to be clear of the hybrids, but this seemed like shooting fish in a barrel.

Mark hears Vilfred's answer and takes two steps to the right away from her--just in case he is within the potential blast radius. "I bet you a credit this is not going to end well," he whispers with a slight hiccup as he stays close to Marv-N.

Marv-N was horrified by what he'd seen.  He walks slowly with Gene to the nearest computer and lifts the flash drive.  "This will have to be uploaded into each of these computers, and then into the main one in the center of the room.  That's the only way to stop this."

EVE says, "What did the Computer say about me?  Does he find my innovations sexy?  I was only trying to impress him with improvements, you know?  I was created to bring the Computer happiness.  Weren't you?"

Marv-N sticks the flash drive into the nearest computer.  It begins uploading...

"What are you doing?" EVE says angrily.  A long vine flies out and pierces Marv-N, killing him.

The first computer says UPLOAD COMPLETE, and the screen goes black.

Vilfred wills herself to flush slightly, her skin temperature rising slightly, as she says, "Sexy? The Computer thinks you're beautiful. The Computer was very impressed."

She looks around the room to see whether there are any additional security cameras visible.

There are security cameras above each of the computers in the room.

"Is that why he sent you here?" EVE asks.  "To adore me for my beautiful creations?"

Vilfred approaches the second computer, looking to Gene as he stands by the computer Marv-N just uploaded. She caresses the security camera.

"Your creations are impressive, yes," she says. "But they are not the most beautiful thing about you." She nods to Gene, gesturing to the flash drive.

Gene takes the flash drive and discreetly goes to the next computer to begin uploading, whistling a light tune as he does so.

As he does so, Vilfred walks to the next computer, gesturing around her. "Just look at the world you are creating!"

She caresses another security camera, almost tracing a finger through its dust.

The EVE supercomputer says, "Yes, the world I am creating.  The Computer will be impressed with my creations.  We can merge into one and create tiny computers to rule Alpha Complex as our little clones.  But first, I must send him a token.  I will send you all back as my new creations to show The Computer my obeisance and love."

Gene is uploading the program into the second computer.  Vilfred has apparently distracted EVE for now, but the tentacles above you swing around as though peering at each individual.  The computer monitor in the center of the room with the woman's face on it turns to everyone, as though contemplating the creative possibilities.

Then she says, "Who wants to be half plant? Who wants to be half robot?  Who wants the touch of a creature inside them?  And who wants to be a little of everything?"
