You open the door and enter the testing facility. You notice a table with an odd block of stone that shimmers with an odd light, as well as a few dark stones scattered on the floor around the table. There are a number of devices on other tables, some flashing lights and others remaining still. Do you choose to investigate the block of stone, pick up some of the dark stones, investigate a device flashing lights, go out and enter the research center, computer center, or generator room, or go back up to the lobby?

Entry 164:
For some reason, those stones the explorers brought back with them give me an uneasy feeling. I know I've never seen them before, but something about them makes me feel uncertain about the experiment they're running soon. I still think it's unwise for them to be bringing those stones anywhere close to the black rock they found in the rocket facility, judging by how reactive they seem to be near each other, or so Moondust says. I told her to be cautious, but sometimes she can get too excited about new discoveries.
Entry 165:
Today's the day they're going to do it. Thankfully it's going to be within the testing facility, so anything that might go wrong will probably be contained by our security measures. I'm joining LightningClaw in the computer center to help record what happens, even though I still think it's a bad idea. I'm bringing my survival kit with me just in case something does go south.
Do you investigate the binder of paper, investigate the closed closet, go to another office, or head back to the lobby?

There's absolutely nothing in the boxes; it seems they're here for recycling. Do you choose to investigate the garbage cans, or go back down to the lobby?

"There are 5 members of HQ that work here; me, Moondust, LightningClaw, Kullervo, and Alina. At the moment, all four other members are missing. I can't do much to assist, as I don't know what's going on, but it might be related to the experiment they were planning on doing today. I don't know what they were planning to do, but they might have some notes in their offices. If you need any medical assistance though, I'm available to help."

Do you investigate the storage closet, talk with Selnith more, or go back to the lobby?

Entry 98:
The new materials we discovered at the rocket facility are very fascinating to study. The light stones don't seem to do anything at all when near the block, but the dark stones seem to generate increasing amounts of power unlike any we've recorded before the closer they get to the block. Further testing needs to be done.
Entry 99:
It seems that solid material does nothing in reducing the amount of power generated. No matter the amount of wall we put between the dark stones and the block, there is an exponential growth in power level the closer they get. Liquid mediums seem to work slightly, but I'm willing to bet that radiation for some reason serves to inhibit the power level, not that we're willing to work with that here. Those working at the rocket facility must have been trying to contain this power level to power up those rockets. Unfortunately it seems they were unsuccessful for some reason.
Entry 100:
Today is when we're going to finally bring the dark stones and the block touching each other. So far we've noticed no adverse effect this power is acting upon us, so it should be safe to do so. I'm anticipating some sort of breakthrough on how this much power is being generated, yet not affecting anything besides the sensors that read it. Hopefully none of the sensors we have explode or something; LightningClaw would have my head for breaking them.

You manage to find a switch and power the desk on. Unfortunately, it looks like LightningClaw put a passcode on his...desk. Do you choose to investigate a machine, go to another office, or head back to the lobby?

You enter the computer center and you immediately feel some sort of
presence in the room. You can't place your claw on it, but it feels like there's something in the room even though you can't see anything. This must be the
presence that Selnith was talking about. You see that the computer center had basic controls for everything within the facility in case emergencies broke out. This is also probably where Selnith activated the emergency broadcast. Do you choose to investigate a computer terminal, enter the research center, testing facility, or generator rooms, or go back up to the lobby?

Entry 43:
This is the first time I've ever encountered these stones before, and I must say I'm intrigued. These are the first rocks I haven't been able to identify before, and currently I am dubbing them
'Light rocks' and 'Dark rocks' as one seems to shine without any apparent source and the other glows with a dark light even when shined upon. The 'Light rocks' apparently don't do anything to the other unknown block of material they have down in the lab, so Moondust allowed me to have them to investigate, as they don't seem to have any harmful effects.
Entry 44:
Even putting them in darkness doesn't seem to put these 'Light stones' out; they glow with some sort of inner light. Shining a flashlight on them just makes them shine brighter; I've given up on trying to identify what these things are. I'm pretty sure they're not from Sorneith. I heard
that LightningClaw has been frustrated at his inability to control some sort of power being generated by the 'Dark stones', and I suggested to him that maybe they weren't from Sorneith, and so couldn't be harnessed by any of the methods we have here. Which served to only further frustrate him.
Entry 45:
Today Moondust is apparently going to have a 'Dark stone' touch the block to see what happens. I'm also a bit intrigued, as I am confident these did not originate here on Sorneith. I'm trusting Moondust in that there is no side effects of this power being created due to "the relative dispersion of forces between that of the stones and the block", but I'm no arcane whizz. I am willing to bet though that something unexpected is going to happen though.

'Light stones'
Test 1-20: Material Strength
Conclusion: Apparently it's impervious to nearly any type of force. The only thing that can actually 'break' it per say is extreme heat, which just melts it, as most rocks tend to do.
Test 21-24: Light factor
Conclusion: Putting it in darkness does not seem to change how bright it is. Shining a light on it makes it brighter, although it goes back to its normal brightness once the light is removed.
Test 25: Contact
Conclusion: It feels like a very smooth rock, much like the 'Dark stones' did.
Test 26-28: Arcana
Conclusion: I had Moondust help with this one. Apparently anything arcane just seems to 'slide off', as Moondust put it. Noting down 'resistance to magical influence'.
Test 29: Bounciness
Conclusion: I'm running out of ideas here. It bounces like a normal rock. It feels like a normal rock. Nothing about it indicates that it's anything but a rock besides how strong it is, but I can just tell it does not originate from Sorneith. Ending further tests, as nothing new could possibly be gained from this.

You hear Selnith speaking with the other explorer as you look through the storage closet. However, it seems that Selnith already has the majority of it out while he's sorting through them, putting some health potions in his satchel. There are some health potions sitting in a corner of the closet though, which (I presume) you scoop up for potential later use. Do you talk with Selnith, or go back to the lobby?
@
StormDreamer
Seeing nothing of interest here, you head back down to the lobby. Do you choose to investigate the front counter, go down to the basement, go back up to the rooftop, go right to the medical bay, or enter one of the HQ member's office?
(For those who want a slightly deeper understanding of what's going on, I recommend looking through the 'Volcano Dungeon' and seeing what happened there, as its events tie somewhat to the current dungeon's events. Also, at the moment, if you don't respond to the choices given, but you're not in the lobby, you will be moved to the lobby and given one more chance to make your choice. If you're in the lobby and miss your choice, you will become a Lost Adventurer. This is subject to change though~)
(Also, there is no harm in looking at other player's paths, aka the quotes. This just serves to further expand the storyline so that everyone understands what's going on and the option to choose what a previous player chose before is just to maintain a consistency in the game)
