CYOA: Stars Beyond

We've got money. A nice store of it, too.

After carefully transferring Twomato to May, you go once again to the vending machine, although not as fast as you'd like, because your foot is now REALLY hurting, and you're twitching and shivering from the drug cocktail you were injected with earlier. Hallucinations of fish swim around your vision, for some reason.

After a seven minute journey that feels more live seventeen minutes, you arrive again in the room. When you arrive, you notice something you didn't before: there are three ladders cleverly hidden against the metal wall around the edge of the room with the doors. Experimentally, you quickly climb one, and find a chest with the number '13' inscribed above it. You hastily climb back down.

There are two machines that dispense things in the centre. One dispenses skills, the other dispenses items. It doesn't look like anyone's bought anything yet... except there's one skill titled 'Truth or Dare'.

There is also a machine that allows you to sell currently obtained skills for 3/4 of their value.

You run back to Twomato's challenge room.

When you arrive... TWOMATO IS DEAD!

(Just kidding.)

May is in a fairly uncomfortable-looking position, kneeling above Twomato, who's now facing the ceiling, and looks to be unconscious. She looks at you expectantly.

"I've got a skill to heal him." you tell her.

"Great! Can you please use it?"

You realise you need to actually say his name to heal him. How exactly do you go about this?

If he passed out from blood loss, will he wake up? Have we seen his name other places before? Would we recognize his face if we took his helmet off?

You reach down, and grab Twomato's still gloved hand, pressing the forefinger to the place on his helmet. His faceplate retracts, and his helmet folds back into his suit. You gaze into his features, and no name prompts itself. You have of course seen him before when everyone took off his helmets, and you haven't had an recollection that's involved him, to your knowledge.

You shake him repeatedly. "Twomato! I need your name to heal you! Your full name!"

"Tatenda... Katlego..." he blurts out, as you thrash him around, as his eyelids struggle to keep up, you see his white eyes beneath, irises occasionaly dipping below.

You say his name with gusto, and he begins shuddering. After a minute, he gets to his feet, and stretches.

May smiles a dry smile. As you look at her, you realise she heard his full name.

"Well," she says, after a while. "Since we know your name, you might as well tell us your role, too."

What do you do?
