12
DISSECTION ROOM. The air in the room is stale, as if untouched for a
long time. Six stone blocks are here, most of which hold scraps of
bone and dry skin and one of which holds the body of a crying
Triskelion vat man. Rusty metal gurneys are here, along with a
wheeled metal tray.
The
blocks have hundreds of small holes in their tops and the back of the
crying Triskelion is attached to the holes by filaments and
catheters. The Triskelion is still alive, just in a state of deep
unconsciousness.
Crying
Triskelion (AC 6; MV 12"; HD 3; hp 17; #AT 1; D By weapon; XP
86)
The
Triskelion will wake up in a turn if its bonds with the stone block
are severed. Breaking these connections will reveal vat media and
blood pumping from them for a few minutes before subsiding. He is not
armed. The Triskelion remembers being brought here by Valerian
Triskelion and his assistants. He will admit, between sobs and moans,
that he was taken here with a large group of others. He can recall
being present in Room 34 when Valerian entered the code 100110 into
the wall.
The
truth is that he was part of group assigned to vivisection. He was
born from a vat years ago and has been lying here getting nutrition
and sedating drugs via vat media. He remembers Level 4 being
populated with humans who tested and experimented on vat creatures
like himself and he will not be familiar with what the current
reality of the level is like now.
The
metal wheeled tray holds surgical instruments (scalpels, scissors,
metal rulers, tweezers, etc.) in pristine shape and of exquisite
craftsmanship. They are worth 200 gold crescents.
