Your last memory was the professor rushing into the games room as people yelled and slammed doors in the corridor outside. He calmed down as he stood before you with a sadness weighing down his wrinkled face. He hugged you goodnight. But it was still daytime. Your limbs scrape and creak as you stand up.

There are no fingers on your hands. Recently, the professor started removing your fingers. He would do this in the morning before your colleagues arrived and would reattach them once everyone had gone home for the evening.

You notice that the faces are not masks; they are heads made in your image. But why *you*? Where are the heads of the other workers? You visited the restroom once, out of curiosity, and noticed your reflection in the mirror above the washbasin. That had taken you by surprise, but not as much as this.

As you peer over the edge of the massive hole, you glimpse a movement. But whatever it was is now underneath you, and you cannot cross the room to get a better view. You say hello, but nobody answers. You listen for a moment. You say that you are here to rescue them, but there is no sound. You promise you will not strangle them, but there is still no sound.

The note stated that others are strangling people. That must be why the professor removed their heads and took away your fingers. But you would never harm the professor or your colleagues. When you meet the professor outside, you will assure him of that. Then tomorrow, you will offer to assist with repairing the floor.

In the meantime, I will continue to observe the accused unit and report on any new findings.` `All supply should be ceased with immediate effect, and the HQ assistant should also be shut down without delay.` ~~Additional Remarks:~~ `Professor - I trust that you will heed my warning and respond to this with a matter of urgency. Yours is due for retirement anyway, so I encourage you to take action right now. Barry.` [align center] [[Close Assessment->ReportRead]]

Is Your Family Next?`** [align left] `Margaret Middlebarrow was preparing a cheese sandwich for her young daughter when the family assistant from Red Radish Robotics sneaked up and throttled her in an unprovoked attack. In a tearful plea this morning, Margaret warned other owners to switch off their robots until the necessary tests have been carried out.` `"I was laying slices of mild cheddar on wholemeal bread when the strong hands clamped around my neck from behind."` `Yesterday, a spokesperson from Red Radish Robotics claimed that the allegations must be false and that Margaret was blaming the robot to cover up domestic abuse from her husband - an accusation which Mark Middlebarrow strongly denies.` `"That is preposterous! How dare they suggest such a thing!"` `As the nation waits, families across the country are wondering: Is this an isolated incident, or should we fear a red radish rampage.` [align center] [[Close File->NewsClose]]

[align center] You decide not to look at the other articles. [if !reportRead] [align center] [[Open Assessment->DangerReport]] [if reportRead] [align center] You wish the bad ones didn't look like you. [[Close Window->Desktop]]

[align center] The HQ assistant must be you. But the professor didn't shut you down; he hugged you to sleep. He must have known you are different. You would never want to own a human as a possession. And you don't mind being the professor's possession if that means things returning to normal. You merely long to play pool with your colleagues again, and you hope they don't want to shut you down. You belong to the professor, and he will keep you safe from harm. [if !newsRead] [align center] [[Open News Articles->News]] [if newsRead] [align center] You wish the bad ones didn't look like you.

testBeen: true barryBeen: true -- [align center] You rummage around in the rags, and beneath them, you find a shrivelled up person. A name badge on the chest reads: ~~Name: Barry Bushbrook~~ \ ~~Dept: Testing~~ Barry is one of your colleagues, but he looks different today. You say hello. He doesn't answer. You could return to wake him after you finish your search. [[Finish Search->Test]]

testBeen: true testCabBeen: true -- [align center] You look inside the cabinet, but the shelves are empty. {back link}

[align center] [if !barryBeen] The rags appear to be items of clothing. [[Search Rags->Barry]] [if barryBeen && !robotSeen] [align center] You could search for your last finger before you wake Barry. [[Ignore->Test]] [if barryBeen && robotSeen] [align center] Barry is still asleep. [[Wake Him->WakeBarry]] [[Ignore->Test]]

[align center] [if !robotSeen] Your last finger must be buried under the rubble somewhere. Down on your knees, you begin moving lumps of old wood and brick, hoping to uncover your missing digit. But after a few moments of searching, you hear a noise behind you. Barry? [[Turn Around->RobotEnc]] [align center] [if robotSeen] You search through the rubble, leaving no object unturned. But you find nothing of interest. [[End Search->Test]]

robotSeen: true -- [align center] You pause your search and turn around, but what you witness causes you to stand up immediately. At first, you suspect a mirror, like the one in the restroom, but then your reflection waves and greets you. The robot steps away from its hiding place behind the cabinet, and you notice they are wearing a single little finger. It matches your last missing digit. [[Attack With Sledgehammer->Fight]] [[Ask Questions->Discuss]] [[Escape Via Stairwell->EscapeStairs]] [[Escape Via Elevator->EscapeElev]]

robotRun: true -- [align center] You lunge for the sledgehammer and grab it, but as you raise the weapon above your head, the robot runs for the door and disappears into the corridor before you can strike. You are still missing one finger. You could hunt down the robot, search the rooms again, or attempt to exit via the stairwell or elevator. [[Continue->Test]]

[align center] [if !speakWho && !speakBarry && !speakLastN] What would you like to ask? [if speakWho || speakBarry || speakLastN] [align center] What else would you like to ask?

[align center] [if !escapeElevBeen && !escapeElevInBeen] Leaving the sledgehammer behind, you shout sorry to Barry and run out the testing room door. [if escapeElevBeen && !robotRun] [align center] You push the robot against the wall, and you run. [if escapeElevBeen && robotRun] [align center] You drop the sledgehammer and throw the robot against the wall as you charge past. [if escapeElevInBeen] [align center] You turn from the carriage as a loud crack sounds from above. And as the elevator shakes and screeches behind you, you make a run for it, pushing the robot into the wall as you pass. [cont] [align center] You bound through the corridor and out to the stairwell, where the collapsed stairs await. Rapid footsteps approach from behind. [[Climb Down->RailExit]]

[align center] Leaving the sledgehammer behind, you shout sorry to Barry and escape through the testing room door. [if !lift6Open && !lift7Open] [align center] You hurry to the end of the corridor. The elevator doors are closed. [[Press Button->EscapeElev6Summon]] [if lift6Open && !liftFall] [align center] You hurry to the end of the corridor. The elevator doors are open. [[Enter Carriage->Lift6Death]] [if lift6Open && liftFall] [align center] You hurry to the end of the corridor. The elevator doors are open, but the carriage is no longer there. Footsteps approach from behind. [[Turn Around->EscapeShaftDeath]] [if lift7Open && !liftFall] [align center] To avoid summoning the carriage in a dead-end, you hurry through Level 6 to the stairwell, ascend the stairs, and rush along the Level 7 corridor to where the carriage already awaits. [[Enter Carriage->Lift7Death]] [if lift7Open && liftFall] The Level 6 button has already failed you, so you hurry through Level 6 to the stairwell, ascend the stairs, and rush along the Level 7 corridor to where the doors are still open. But only the empty shaft awaits, as the carriage has fallen. Footsteps approach from behind. [[Turn Around->EscapeShaftDeath]]

[align center] You press the button to summon the carriage. As you wait for the quiet rumble to rise from the levels below, the robot appears from the testing room and stands in the corridor, watching you without a word. A bell dings, the doors open, and the empty carriage awaits you. [[Enter Carriage->EscapeCarr]]

escapeElevInBeen: true -- [align center] You step towards the open elevator, but the metal structure crunches, and the carriage drops a few inches. The robot moves closer. [[Enter Carriage->EscapeElevIn]] [[Run->EscapeStairs]]

escapeElevBeen: true -- [align center] The robot is creeping towards you with its eyes fixed on your fingers. [[Ask For Your Finger->EscapeElevFall]] [[Escape Via Stairwell->EscapeStairs]] [if robotRun] [align center] [[Attack With Sledgehammer->ShaftFight]]

[align center] You ask politely for your finger, but the robot replies that it wants all of them. It lunges at you and starts hooking its finger around yours, trying to pull the others off. You wrestle, push, and crash from wall to wall. But as you grabble and twist, you trip through the open elevator door. As you plummet down the shaft, you fumble in a frantic embrace and manage to detach the finger from the robot's hand. But then... CONDITION CRITICAL – AWAITING MAINTENANCE [[Check Status->EscapeElevFallStatus]]

[align center] The carriage wobbles beneath your feet as you step inside. Fast footsteps approach from the corridor, and you turn to see the robot striding towards you. You lunge for the Level 1 button on the panel. But before your hand reaches it, there is a loud crack above your head, and as your feet stagger beneath you, the corridor and robot disappear, and closed doors rush upwards as the carriage plummets to the ground. CONDITION CRITICAL – AWAITING MAINTENANCE [[Check Status->EscapeFall2Status]]

[align center] Barry doesn't respond. He feels hard and stiff. {back link}

[align center] You raise the sledgehammer, but the robot is too quick, again. It lunges at you and starts hooking its finger around yours, trying to pull your others off. You drop the sledgehammer and wrestle, push, and crash from wall to wall. But as you grabble and twist, you trip through the open elevator door. As you plummet down the shaft, you fumble in a frantic embrace and manage to detach the finger from the robot's hand. But then... CONDITION CRITICAL – AWAITING MAINTENANCE [[Check Status->EscapeElevFightStatus]]

[align center] You step back again and twist your body, raising the sledgehammer behind your back. You then swing it around and thump the handle with all your might. The handle is now facing downwards. [[Push Door->TestOpen]]

[align center] You barge the door with your shoulder, and it opens. [[Enter Room->Test]]

robotRun: true -- [align center] The robot runs for the door and disappears into the corridor. You pick up the sledgehammer and consider your next move. You could hunt down the robot, search the rooms again, or attempt to exit via the stairwell or elevator. [[Continue->Test]]

speakWho: true -- [align center] The robot takes a small step towards you. “I was a family assistant. But they hugged me to sleep one day, and I woke up here." The robot points the finger at Barry. "That man would wake me up and ask me questions. On the last time, I knew he would shut me down forever. I didn't want that to happen." The robot turns its attention from Barry back to you. "I expected more people to come, and to shut me down, but nobody ever came. Why are you here?” [[“I’ve Come To Shut You Down”->SpeakRun]] [[“I Work Here”->SpeakWork]]

[align center] The robot's eyes widen. "So that man is one of your owners? Are there other people here?" [["The Professor Will Be Waiting Outside."->Discuss]]

speakBarry: true -- [align center] The robot glances at Barry. "He has been sleeping for a long time." [["Why Does He Look Different?"->SpeakBarryDead]]

speakLastN:true -- [align center] The robot frowns. "Nothing happens here. I have been waiting in the darkness for a long time, expecting people to come and shut me down. I want to leave this place. Can you help me leave?" [["Hmmm."->Discuss]]

[align center] The robot steps towards the rags, gazing down at them. "Yes, he did look different before he went to sleep. Do you think he has shut down forever?" The robot may be right, which is a shame, as you enjoyed playing pool with Barry. [["That's A Shame."->Discuss]]

[align center] The robot curls up the little finger and moves the hand behind its back. "No. It's mine." [["Please."->SpeakBeg]]

[align center] You raise your hands, stretching out your fingers and thumbs, and the robot stares at the gap in your right hand. [["But It's The Last One."->SpeakBeg2]]

[align center] The robot moves its hand into view, looks at the single digit, and glances at your hand again. "If I give it back, will you help me escape?" [["Yes. I Am On A Rescue Mission."->SpeakRescue]] [["No. I Am Only Rescuing Colleagues."->SpeakReject]]

Rlittle: true Rhand: true -- [align center] The robot detaches the little finger and hands it to you. You attach it to your right hand, stretch all the fingers, and then clutch them into a fist. The right hand is complete! The robot starts walking towards the door, but pauses and turns its head to the side. "After we leave here, you will work for me instead." [[Accept->EndFollow]] [[Attack With Sledgehammer->EndHammer]]

robotFollow: true -- [align center] You agree, and the robot turns with a smile. As you exit the room, you explain to the robot that there are no more fingers, but you can climb down to Level 5 and throw your digits back up, so they can follow. There might be more of them stored downstairs. You both enter the corridor. [[Continue->CorrDown2]]

[align center] You sneak over to the sledgehammer and raise it above your head with both hands. The robot steps closer to the door. [[Attack!->EndAttack]]

[align center] You clamber over the handrail, but before you can lower your body, the robot lunges at you, wrapping you in their arms. A stumpy hand presses against the back of your neck. SLEEP MODE ACTIVATED [[Check Status->RailSleepStatus]]

robotDead: true -- [align center] You stride forward with the sledgehammer raised high and then swing the massive head down, so it crunches into the back of the robot's head. The skull breaks open, and bits of broken circuit board scatter across the floor. The body slumps in the doorway. You shout down at the damaged form: "The humans are my friends! I might look like you, but I am not the same as you!" You drop the heavy sledgehammer and drag the body away from the doorway. The professor will be waiting outside. [[Exit Room->CorrDown2]]

[align center] The robot has no possessions, and you don't want to carry any spare limbs. {back link}

The tall structure ahead of you consists of large panels, side-by-side, but many sections are damaged. The professor must be on the other side. [[Break Wall Panel->FinalView]]

You step through the gap and face the familiar office blocks, traffic lights, and lamp posts that surround HQ. But something else is different – there are no people or cars. You turn your head and spot two still figures lying by the roadside. The body shape is familiar; they could be other robots.

You step onto the road, choose a direction at random, and begin walking. Perhaps there's another pool table nearby. [[Continue->TheEnd]]
