Escape the lab

(set: $gun = "no") (set: $bullets = 5) (set: $HP = 5) You wake up soaked in a strange liquid. Your head hurts and you are naked. There is broken glass all over the wet [[floor|floor]].

You look around you. It's a small white room with strange equipment everywhere. Behind you there seems to be a [[cryopreservation chamber|cryo stasis]] with the glass door broken. There is a [[gun|lookgun]] over the table. To your right there is a [[door|door]].

Cryopreservation is a process where cells are preserved by cooling to sub-zero temperatures. You remember building this chamber, every wire and metal piece, every cork and fuse. But you can't remember much else. [[Go back|floor]]

There is a strange-looking gun on the table. [[Pick up gun|pickupgun]] [[Do nothing|floor]]

You walk torwards the door. There is a numberpad right next to it, you type the password 0451, you don't remember why, but you know this number is important. You walk outside the door and you find yourself in the middle of a corridor. [[Go to the left|goleft]] [[Go to the right|goright]]

(set: $gun = "yes")You look at the weapon. It is a H5-31 Plasma emitter gun. You look to the charge counter on the side that shows the number 5, which means you have about 5 shots until the plasma battery runs out. You have no idea how you know such things. The need for answers fill up your head. You need to find [[what the fuck is going on|door]].

You turn to the left side of your room and keep walking the corridor. There are many other rooms but you don't remember the password to any of them, some doors are broken and the rooms inside are destroyed and completely empty. There seems to be anyone in the laboratory. You reach an intersection. What do you do? [[Go left|newlfet]] [[Go right|newright]]

You turn to the right side and starts walking forward. Little by little you begin to remember this place. The cold walls and metal doors, all too familiar to you. You worked here. Or lived here. You can't tell much the difference. You reach a room, it is the engine room. You remember working here with other people. [[Enter the room|engineroom]] [[Go back from the way you came|goback]]

You turn to the left side of the intersection and starts walking forward. More and more you remember about this place. You remember your routine, waking up, cleaning yourself, getting dressed, meeting your friends at the cafeteria. Your friends. You had friends. Why the fuck can't you remember the faces of your own friends? You reach a room. It is the cafeteria room. Your friends must be inside. [[Enter the room|cafeteria]]

You turn to the right side of he intersection and starts walking forward. You still can't stop thinking about this place, and the people that lived here. Your friends. Your...family? You don't remember them, but you are sure you had a family here, maybe brothers, or sisters. Someone, for sure. You reach a room. It is the control room. You know that all the answers you seek must be in this place. [[Enter the room|controlroom]]

You enter the room. There are three military upgraded synthetic androids of the newest generation inside the room. You remember their combat moves and their killing algorhithm. They also carry plasma guns. They look at you and you notice their aggression system activating. They are going to shoot at you. (if: $gun is "yes")[[[Shoot at them|shoot]]] [[Try to run|run]]

You go back from the way you came. You slowly remember more about these corridors. The cold walls feel so familar, just as if you were there for years, decades. Maybe your entire life. But that is just a weird thought. You try to remember someone, anyone, but you can't seem to remember their faces. You know there is more to it than these [[cold white walls.|goleft]]

You try to run from the androids. But you are not fast enough. You hear the sound of the plasma guns firing, and almost instantly you feel the impact in your back. You fall to the ground. The heat and the pain is almost unbearable. You agonize in pain while feeling the imense burning in your back. Tha androids come closer to you. You look at them They all have the same faces Your face. You cry without tears. It is [[the end.|gameover]]

{(set: $hit to (either: 1, 2, 3)) (set: $bullets to 2)} {(if: $hit is 1)[You shoot at the androids. You hit one. The others will [[shoot at you.|battle2]]]} {(if: $hit is 2)[You remember some of your combat training, you use your quick reflexes to shoot two androids at the same time. You kill both. Tha last android aims and [[shoot at you.|onelefttokill]]]} (if: $hit is 3)[You remember all of your combat training. The memories of your mentors coming at you, the days spent on the plasma training ground where you even trained for zero gravity assaults. You shoot at all androids before they even have a chance to react. [[You look around you|emptyroom]] ]

(set: $HP to $HP - (either: 1,2)) (if: $HP is 3)[Both the robots shoot at you, you are too slow to dodge any of the shots. You take two of them in non-lethal areas of your body. You feel the pain and the heat of the plasma burning your flesh. [[Shoot again.|battle2secondround]] [[Try to run.|run]]] (if: $HP is 4)[Both the robots shoot are you, you are able to dodge one shot due to your training in high-speed motion combat. The other shot hit you in a non-lethal area. It burns and the pain is amazing, but you are ok. You [[Shoot again.|battle2secondround]]]

You walk around and find an empty engine room. Equipments scattered everywhere. It looks damaged. The engine looks fine and working, though, probably these androids were working to keep it up and running. The white floor is wet. [[There is nothing else here.|goback]]

Thanks for playing my interactive fiction! It was made in about two days using Twine 2.0 for the Game Engine & Environment class at OCAD U. I intended to make a sci-fi action interactive fiction. I hope you like it. [[Play again.|start]]

{(set: $newhit to (either: 1,2)) (if: $newhit is 1)[You shoot at them again, but you can't concentrate because of the hits you took.You only hit one of them. Now the other is [[going to shoot you|onelefttokill]]] (if: $newhit is 2)[You remember all of your combat training. The memories of your mentors coming at you, the days spent on the plasma training ground where you even trained for zero gravity assaults. You hit both of the droids, almost ignoring the pain of the wound you have. You [[try to look around.|emptyroom]]]}

(set: $HP to $HP - 1) You took a hit. You feel really wounded. The smell of burned flesh is making you sick. You shoot again at the last android. You kill it. You slowly look around. There is nothing left in the room, just old broken equipment. [[You go back from the way you came|goback]]. You must find the exit of this place as soon as possible.

{You enter the cafeteria. (if: $bullets is 5)[There are two military upgraded synthetic androids inside the room. You remember their combat moves and their killing algorhithm. They also carry plasma guns. They look at you and you notice their aggression system activating. They are going to shoot at you.] (if:$bullets is 2)[You see two military upgraded synthetic androids again. They seem to be of a earlier generation. They carry the same plasma guns as the others and you are noticing their aggresion system activating to. You wish there was another way, you don't want to kill them.]} (if: $gun is "yes")[[[Shoot at them|newbattle]]] [[Try to run away|run]]

You look at the monitos of the control room. Recordings of the cameras scattered through all the facilities are playing on the screens. You look at the androids, part of them walking and trying to fix everything possible, keeping the facility safe. Others freaking out, walking around and killing everything possible. You notice something, something that you have already noticed. You stare at the truth you've been denying this whole time. All the androids have the same face. Your face. You can't understand, you can't comprehend how this is possible. Your very existence, a fabrication. A lie. Nothing matters anymore. All those people. Everyone you killed. Their corpses showing up in the monitor screens. A reflexion of your own existence. {(if: $gun is "yes" and $bullets>0)[You look at your plasma gun. There is still battery. You gently put the gun in your head. You can't stand the pain anymore, both physically and emotionally. You are tired. You want to [[die.|suicide]]] (if: $gun is "yes" and $bullets is 0)[You look at your plasma gun. There is no battery left. The only thing left for you is to watch your pathetic existance. You stare at the monitors, forever. Eternal [[loneliness.|gameover]] ]} (if: $gun is "no")[You stare at the monitors. You are alone. Your life is meaningess. You stay there. Watching. [[Forever.|gameover]]]

{(set: $newhit to (either:1,2)) (set: $bullets to $bullets - 2)} {(if: $newhit is 1)[You shoot at the androids, you hit one of them right in the head, making it flying through the air. The other android is really mad. [[He shoots at you.|duel]]]} (if: $newhit is 2)[More of your combat training comes o your litle by little. You remember the afternons spent with your friends in the armoured laser tag center where you trained as hard as you can. You shoot and kill both the androids. [[Look around.|cafeteriaend]]]

{(set: $HP to $HP - 1)} The android shoots you and the shot hits your shoulder. The pain is ubelieavable. You feel every inch of your body aching with the pain. You shoot back at him but he dodges it. You are astonished. That never happened before, you never missed a shot. Never. The only person that was ever able to dodge your shots was your best friend, but...you can't remember him, or his face. {(if: $bullets is 0 and $HP < 3)[ You already took to many hits, you feel really weak, you can't take it anymore. You look at your plasma gun and see the number 0 on the side. You know you don't stand a chance. [[Run away|runalone]]]} {(if: $bullets is 0 and $HP > 2)[You are hurt, but not so much. You still can fight. You look at your plasma gun and see the dead battery. You don't have any more shots. [[Run away|runalone]]]} {(if: $bullets > 0)[[[He is going to shoot at you again.|finalbattle]]]}

You look around the cafeteria. You remember the smell of the fresh food and that sound of all the people eating, talking, laughing. You remember your friend's laugh and smile. You miss that so much. You remember more about this facility. That previous intersection would lead you to the control room if you had turned right. Maybe things would be different. You don't know why you feel remorse in killing thse androids. You go back there and walk towards the [[control room|controlroom]]

You try to run from the android. But you are not fast enough. You hear the sound of the plasma gun firing, and almost instantly you feel the impact in your back. You fall to the ground. The heat and the pain is almost unbearable. You agonize in pain while feeling the imense burning in your back. The android come closer to you. You look at him It has the same face as all the other droids. Your face. You cry without tears. It is [[the end.|gameover]]

You press the trigger. You hear the noise of the plasma firing. The heat in your head. There is no pain. Nothing you expected. There is no flashback of your life. You had no life. There is [[nothing|gameover]]

{(set: $HP to $HP - 1)} You took the hit, again. It hurts a lot. You are already too injured. You shoot back at the dammn android, blowing up his face. You are tired. Tired of all this shit. You want to finish this, [[once and for all.|cafeteriaend]]
