(going rest at the side while jazz is pulling poeple out being as very wozzy )

Okay. as you rest aghinst the side of the wall and Jazz pulls a couple of people through the grate; the mechanised death machines martch ever closer, relentless in their wanton distruction of life. you feel the sudden need to tie a blindfold arround your eyes and start smoking a cancer stick.

[Ingo Monk]

I take off, too many near-death experiences for me thank you very much!

[mercy]

I start off down the tunnel tugging jaz to follow me

[kv]

Well, I saved three people. I'll bring them with us, and run down the tunnel. They might follow, but it's going to take them some time to get through that grate, especially with the bodies in the way of the entrance we used.

[Ruski]

Okay, the six of you splash down the tunnel as fast as you can, the bright lights and singing or richochets dogging your heals... there is a slight pause and a roar of twisting metal that must mean that they had to stop to get past the grate... aparently they tore it apart with a spair 'jaws of life' they had in their backpack or something... at any rate it's only giving you a couple extra seconds to get some breathing room.

as you splash allong you come to another decision point. there's a waterfall, with the contents of this tunnel spilling into a larger floodway. after the floodway there is a steep incline (a dry waterfall as it were) into the open sky, or a spillway that goes down deeper into the sewers.

[kv]

With them only a few seconds behind us, I'll go down rather than up.
(especially when we already know that they have helicopter support)
"You guys can do what you want- I'm going deeper."

[Ingo Monk]

Jump for it!

[mercy]

follow the leader

[Ruski]

Okay, capitolising on that whole 'mob mentality' you slide, one after the other down the drek-slide, and into a 'pool' as it were... you can't touch the ground, ... but even if you were tempted to dive down and find out how deep it is, you really don't want to. Then again, you may not have a choice...

<Inventory check> Who's encumbered? if you have more than your body rating in Kelo's of gear, you are sinking...

Okay, that being said, there are two waterfalls leading out, one to sky, one back the way you came. there are lights bouncing arround like someone running is carrying them down the tunnel you just exited, there are ladders allongside each of the 'waterfalls', and one deeper dump basin going further underground. the dump basin is covered by a trash grate at the bottom (much like the one that was rotted out where you were last) but it is open to the sky. (so, you can't swim under it, but you can jump over it / climb over it)

there's an onimous sucking sound coming from that dirrection.

[kv]

We'll have to go in the direction of the ominous sucking sound... although I'm not really willing to jump the second time- I'm going to give the whole ladder thing a try, just to see what happens. Maybe I won't have to swallow a mouthful of drek-water.

Didn't see your inventory check. ...

and the ladders only go on the 'up' waterfalls.  the down one aparently isn't suppose to have people go in it.

[mercy]

noy a problem only carrying 26.6 kilos  my body wight is 200 LB

not your body weight, your BOD rateing. even a single Kilo is a lot of dead weight to carry arround... expecially when trying to keep afloat in fecal matter... what you have is almost 60 lbs of gear... that's more equipment than i carried when i went camping for a week as a boyscount, and had to keep everything with me. unless you have a bod of like 12, I think you are sinking like a rock to the bottom of the fecal pit.

[kv]

According to what I understand, the only things I'm carrying are one of Sam's guns, and a flashlight, as well as my clothes. Although I guess we can say I'm carrying some car thief tools, and my PDA/phone...which is a little worse for wear at this point.

Results < 5 kg

Okay, you are still afloat, but it's tought to keep your head above 'water' at this point. /b]

[Ingo Monk]

I'll head for the ladder too.  ladders only go to the 'up' exits. the 'down' sludge exit (where your fearless leader is heading) has no such device installed. it's got a half-trash grate (covering the submerged part of this sewage system) and a narrow tunnel thingie that has a wierd sucking sound coming from it.  

I'm carrying my clothes I'm wearing, pocket secretary, pocket flashlight, respirator, and a secure jacket.  All in all prolly less than 10 kg (rought estimate).

Alright, you really have to strugle to keep your head above 'water', perhaps it's the liquid soaked clothing, but whatever the effect you don't think you'll be able to keep this up for long, and you defenitly don't think you'll make it to the side un-assisted... it may be time to loose the secure jacket at least, possibly your shoes too, to make swimming easyer. Your resperator would probibly be very handy about now... but seeing as it's entirely under fecal matter at this point... you may want to wash it first.

[Ingo Monk]

I'll lose the jacket and follow the fearless leader.

(without the jacket my gear weighs 2.5 kg, previously it was at 5.5 after checking in the book)
