:o Sorry, my bad...

======================================================
3/6/2117 - 20:55
Characters: Zack Lofftin (Scott308)
Location: Vault 14, Level 3, Cafeteria
======================================================


Gross' handwriting is not very good, so at a first glance Zack could only see something about guard schedules for the following days, but this might just be a draft. There are also calculations scribbled all over the sheet. Calculus is probably not the Security Overseer's strong suit, because numbers and formula are crossed out and wrote up again with slight changes many times. Most Vault Dwellers use computers to do math, but maybe Gross isn't handy with computers either? Zack needs some time (and a Science roll) if he wants to figure out what it's all about.

---

Roman follows Zack into the back room. He takes the box, takes a peek inside, closes it, and nods to Zack.
"You're good, man. Respect."
He places it in his pocket and taps on it.
"Anything you need?"
Roman didn't specify Zack's reward, but he made it obvious that he can ask for something equal in value or danger. Zack isn't sure about the extent of Roman's "power" (he certainly couldn't go inside Gross' office), but he knows that the kitchen assistant sometimes has access to surprising and rare items. He also has information. Of course, the payment can be a favor to be asked in the future.

Zack nods his head towards Roman.Thanks. I'll admit, I was really nervous about doing this. Way different than snatching something left sitting out. Anyway, I'm good right now. If I think of something I need in the future, I'll let you know.

Zack will wander off, looking for a quiet spot to sit and examine the note he took from Gross' office in an attempt to decipher what is written on it.

======================================================
3/6/2117 - 21:00
Characters: Zack Lofftin (Scott308)
Location: Vault 14, Level 3
======================================================


Zack goes to one of his hide-outs, the Level 3 "broom closet", a small room stuck in-between two living blocks. It houses a malfunctioning cleaning robot (a huge, conical automatic hoover, last operation - approx. 40 years ago), some old buckets and mops, extra cleaning materials. With Danny out cleaning the Vault corridors, Zack knows he can be here undisturbed until about 22:00. He sits down in the corner behind the robot, comfortably on a heap of rags, and tries to wrap his head around the calculations. He gets only the notion that Gross himself had a hard time doing them, and quite possibly didn't reach any conclusion either. There is something about distance, or maybe depth or length. Some time tables and dates, but it's not clear whether they belong to the guard schedule or the calculations.

After spending some time in an unsuccessful attempt to make heads or tails out of the note from Gross' office, he will shove the note in his pocket in frustration. That was a waste of time, he thinks to himself. It is still too early to go to bed yet, so Zack will wander down to the rec area, hoping to find a video to watch.

======================================================
3/6/2117 - 21:05
Characters: Zack Lofftin (Scott308)
Location: Vault 14, Level 2, Community area
======================================================


Zach goes up to Level 2. There is some weird sewage smell in the air - not very strong, but still unpleasant. It reminds him of his awful place of work, the Waste Disposal Division... Maybe the smell is the reason there aren't any people in the Community/Recreations area. The main screen (used for big movies) is switched off. There are several small cubicles standing next to the wall, with small screens, for one or two persons to watch. There's usually three reels to choose from each week. This week's selections is:
  1. "The Magnificent Life of South-American Tapirs"
  2. "A Short History of Coal Mining in Appalachia"
  3. "Dine Out at Moulin Rouge" - restricted content, 21+, Pip Boy age verification required
From the distance Zack hears the elevator door opening again - he glances back and sees Max Rokossovsky coming out. "I really hope we don't run into each other again for a while" - yeah, that's what he said to Max. Luckily, Max heads off into the other direction and doesn't notice Zack.

Hmmm. Which movie to watch tonight? I've seen them all at least once already. I think...I think I'll go with something on animals. With that, he pushes the button to select "The Magnificent Life of South-American Tapirs" for his viewing pleasure. The odd noses on those strange creatures never fail to amuse him.
I figured I would just let the Dice Roller choose his movie for him.

After watching the documentary on tapirs, Zack will head back to his room and go to bed. The adrenaline rush from breaking into Gross's office has worn off and drained him of all energy.

Max calls out "Zack what are you doing?" as he sees hims zip by "Where are you off too?" trying to follow Zack but if unable to Max shrugs and continues to head off to Doc Barnes.

Wait- what? So there was a rat in the vault. Why do you need to have the doc look at it? Do you think it had that disease...the one the dog had in the movie- kid had to shoot his dog because it was sick. I am really drawing a blank on the name of the disease. Doesn't matter. The important thing is that Doc knows what he is trying to find.

Max chuckles a little "No no not a rat. It was much bigger than a normal rat and looks uglier too like a part mole part rat creature about the size of a dog."

Zack looks at Max and smiles. A rat the size of a dog? Here in the vault? Have you been getting chems from Roman? I never would have pegged you for that, but I guess you can't judge a book by its cover, as they used to say. As he speaks, he is able to tell from his expression that Max is not under the influence of chems, nor is he fooling around. Hold on. You are really serious, aren't you? I want to see this thing. Can we go see it?

Zack and Max reconcile their earlier differences and head over to the Medical Ward. From the distance they hear some sort of a commotion (a metallic *klang!*, then a short argument). The next moment the Vault Overseer, Dr. Munro comes charging out of the Med. Ward. She is obviously furious. She notices the two young Dwellers.

"Mr. Rokossovsky... what has Mr. Lofftin done this time?" she asks sharply. For some reason she automatically thinks that Max as security personnel is detaining "bad boy" Zack.

Oh, just some weird creature that isn't supposed to be in the vault. Max and Quincy managed to kill it, but they want Doc Barnes to take a look at it and help figure out what's goin' on. Not really anything you need to worry about this late-time of night I wouldn't think, Munro. Now, if you don't mind, we need to collect Doc Barnes and be on our way. Good night.

Without waiting for a response from the Overseer, Zack will head into the Med Ward. Hey, Doc Barnes...
