We start entering the AI data center and meeting the very retro computerized facsimile of 1978 Bureu Director Greymore, the architect of the monolith, who told Judith to look for Resonant Artifacts in rom 8G, but not what to do when you’re grabbed by a ghoul.
Oh, he did mention the problem was likely caused by a Shadow (unsure if that’s a proper noun deserving of capitalization, but it feels right in context) from beyond a planar barrier, which manifests in three forms: drones, brutes, and ghouls. Also, that fungus she saw was not actually a fungus, but explaining the difference wouldn’t be worth our time.
The tape reels and whirring data checksums that wrote in the persona of Director Greymore printed out a long code to get into 8G, but left Judith to find her way up there.
She met Amos Mortimer, the head of janitorial services just after DJ ran through a room, growing organs and flesh on a skeleton frame and screaming in agony. It was pretty hard for Judith to stomach that, but she had just seen an interview she was in two days ago that she had no recollection. One in which she was applying to be director of the Bureau, or perhaps just a Bureau.
Amos couldn’t get her card key access, but he did open the doors to the elevator shaft and while they planned to climb up the ladder, they ended up falling up the ladder on account of the emergency application of a resonance artifact Judith is calling the “gravity cube”.
Mid-elevator we met Agent Ramona York, who works in containment and was relieved to see a friendly face. We pried our way into floor 8, found a road flare, three antique instant cameras, and did not open the door to 8I which contained Archivist Barou, of the many arms and heads, but not enough eyes.
Still unable to find a way to the 10th floor, where Director Harrison and extra planar research should be, Judith eventually consented to talk to the Candleman. He played the piano beautifully…and eventually convinced her to place five of his candles in other places…in exchange for helping her reach the 10th floor.
