[Open Broadcast: End of Investigation!]

[notinthecards]

Well. That was a very cultural experience, no? But from all the confused noises in my head now, it seems like we have finished the Investigation. Successfully, too. Sometimes when we do well, our benevolent masters give us a few days vacation time, and it looks like that’s the case now. There’s an open portal behind the Midnight Rose, or if you’re stuck far away, just give a shout and Remy will come and get you. Anyone hurt? Or dead, for that matter? There was enough shooting that even on vacation, we should maybe keep our heads down the next few days. Or just day trip to Manhattan.

If anyone requires aid, I will volunteer to go back as well.

[Of course he does. He can't be safe and well if someone else isn't.]

[notinthecards]

Looks like we have a dungeon portal here. Maybe hat should be first priority. Still interested?

[thezerothlaw]

Perhaps so. I beg your pardon, as I am still relatively new to this. What is the significance of the dungeon portal?

[notinthecards]

At the end of a jaunt, sometimes we lose people. They don't come back through the portal. Instead, they get lost, in places like that. Every now and then we have the chance to go and get a few back.

[thezerothlaw]

[That's troubling, indeed.]

Of course I will help. Are there predictable risks involved?

[notinthecards]

There's usually a fight. Something keeping them there. And a maze, something keeping them lost.

[thezerothlaw]

Then I will offer what aid I can.

[He's not a fighter. He never will be. But he's strong, and he recognises, however reluctantly, that sometimes violence is a necessary evil.]

Where is this portal? I can be there directly, if that is what you desire.

[notinthecards]

The base of the big ramp. We're going to wait until we have one more before we go - because once you're in, you can't get out alone. Better to have backup.

[thezerothlaw]

I will be there directly, waiting for you.

[notinthecards]

And the girl makes four. We're ready to roll, mon ami.

[moredakka]

You need one more?

[Hello here she is she has a big gun and Daneel's her robot buddy and it is dangerous to go alone etc.]

[notinthecards]

Four is the perfect number, petite. Glad you could join us.

[moredakka]

B-but, um, I've never... um, you have done this before right?

[notinthecards]

Many a time.

The most important thing is not to get separated. You can go in alone, but you can't get out alone.

[moredakka]

Yessir!

Are we going to need to fight anything?

[notinthecards]

It would be a surprise if we didn't.

[moredakka]

[Remy you would not believe how much of a relief that is. She sounds downright happy.]

So no detective work.

[notinthecards]

We might have to find our way through a maze, or an obstacle course, so I wouldn't shut your mind off just yet. But it's not much like a Jaunt.

[moredakka]

N-no, mazes are okay! I don't, uh, I don't mean no thinking. Just, just no... um, talking to people...

[notinthecards]

If there is, you can leave that to Remy.

[moredakka]

Great. A-and, you can leave all the fighting to me!

[notinthecards]

Most of it, maybe. I think I'll keep a little for myself.
