CYOA: Stars Beyond

You debate the possibilities in your head for a bit, but in the end you head down the ladder.

After a while of climbing, it occurs to you that ladders are supposed to be at a 75 degree angle, and this is directly vertical. You wonder if it's an issue.

...

You reach the bottom, and notice 6 doors. Each door is paired with one other door, and each door has two fingerprint scanners. You imagine the paired doors lead to the same place.

There's a red and cyan door paired with a lime and purple door, a blue and yellow door paired with a rose and emerald door, and an orange and sky door paired with a magenta and green door.

You try pressing your finger on the green scanner. It dings, but the door doesn't open. Unfortunately, it looks like your partner is Ace, and he doesn't even have his suit.

None of the other fingerprint scanners accept your fingerprint, so you decide to head back up.

...

You're back in the CORE hall. Do you check out the garden, or go back to bed?

You start forwards, but then you hesitate. It could easily be a trap.

You go back down the corridor, and reach the Rec Room. As you put your hand on the doorhandle to go back to your own room, you notice it. On the back of your hand is a timer that reads "1:15:56", and continues to tick down.

You have quite a bit of time, and it's entirely possible there's a secret room somewhere.

Do you look? Or just go back to bed?

(Just the utility rooms have fingerprint locks. The bedroom has a bog standard lock. You had to find the key at the beginning in the chest.)

Nope. The outer doors of utility rooms have fingerprint locks.

The Rec Room, Kitchen, Spa, etc. all have a fingerprint-locked door that borders the CORE hall. As does the 13 and -1 doors on every Challenge Room. Sorry I didn't make that clearer...

EDIT: The blue room should be Stomach.

Yes, or no?

First, you gently press your head to the side of the door to the corridor. After hearing nothing for thirty seconds, you carefully open it and traverse the corridor.

You then reach Foursight's door to her actual room. You listen at it, and carefully open it.

She isn't there.

The positioning of the scuff marks at the headboard and under the bed appear as if the bed itself had lifted itself almost vertical. On close examination, a section of the carpet appears as if it has lifted up at some point, and beneath the frayed edges, metal is visible.



The most likely explanation you can think of was the machinery beneath her bed held her down while a trapdoor opened, ready. The bed must've then slid her off it, down the trapdoor.

On a whim, you check her vitallis. It's intact.

You're not entirely sure where she is, or how to get to her. However, you could search her room, go back to your own, or take advantage of the fact that you can currently access the Challenge rooms.

What do you do?

You dive into the chest and go to the Challenge Room of the Mind. You emerge, soaked, but quickly drying. You suspect that there might be something in the liquid in each chest that makes it dry faster.

"Challenge room 7 - Challenge of the mind"

You're here again. You have to force yourself to stay away from the needles.

You search the room, but there's no sight of Foursight or anything else.

So, what now? You could go to the machines, or one of the other 11 challenge rooms. Without either the grey suit or the black suit, you cannot use the easy access doors.

However...

If you bought a chest skill, you could get into someone's room.

Or you could just check out a Challenge Room.

Or go back to somewhere.

What do you do?

Hey Juuuuustiiiiice
What do you think about buying Touch Base so we can go through our own chest in the future?

Oh... maybe Four's not in trouble, maybe the corresponding people just get disappeared for a few hours every night so we can go through their chest...?
