# Finding the Empty Tank

If the **Red access pass** and the **Empty Tank** has been collected, head to the **Vat Room (A2)**

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">In the center of a well-lit room stands a large vat. High-powered filters are circulating the air, but the smell is still overpowering.</mark>*

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">There is a high-security airlock to the east and an exit labelled CAUTION to the south.</mark>*

**>examine airlock**\
\&#xNAN;*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">The airlock is tightly sealed. There is an access pass slot to the side.</mark>*

**>insert red access pass into slot**\
\&#xNAN;*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">The pass slides in, then is pushed back out. After a series of beeps, the airlock door pops open with a soft whoosh.</mark>*

\--------\
Head to the **Negative Pressure Labe (B2)**

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">You step into the airlock, which closes automatically behind you. There is a sucking sound, and the air pressure changes slightly. After a moment, the inner door pops open and you walk forward.</mark>*

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">You are in a negative pressure lab, designed for the study of dangerous substances. You don't really know what all the equipment in here does, but fortunately there's an ape at work who looks like he does.</mark>*

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">The ape notices you enter, and yells, "What do you think you're doing?! This is a very delicate experiment—don't move or say anything!"</mark>*

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">There is a large button on one wall.</mark>*

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">There is an airlock to the west.</mark>*

**>examine ape**\
\&#xNAN;*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">His choices of eyewear and weaponry (which he holds in his mouth) seem inappropriate for a negative pressure lab.</mark>*

This identifies the ape as **3178**

**>talk to ape**\
\&#xNAN;*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">"Quiet!" he shouts, somewhat oxymoronically.</mark>*

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">"Whatever you do, don't press that button."</mark>*

**>press button**\
\&#xNAN;*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">As you reach toward the button, the ape warns, "Stay away from that button!" You hesitate.</mark>*

**>press button**\
\&#xNAN;*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">As you reach for the button a second time, the ape screams, "Are you nuts?! Don't press it!"</mark>*

**>press button**\
\&#xNAN;*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">Before the ape can stop you, you lunge toward the button and press it. An alarm beeps furiously. The ape clutches his head. "No no no no no no no NO!"</mark>*

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">He bounds across the room and leans in close.</mark>*

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">"Now you've done it. The Facility Amber Alert is activated, and in moments some terrible hazardous goo is going to start oozing from that pipe." (You hadn't noticed that pipe before. Weird.)</mark>*

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">"I need something to collect the goo in or that Amber Alert is never stopping and we're NEVER getting out of this facility. Be QUICK!"</mark>*

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">The ape shoves you into the airlock and the door closes behind you. There is a sucking sound, a change in air pressure, and the airlock door opens. You are back in the room with the superacid vat.</mark>*

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">In the center of a well-lit room stands a large vat. High-powered filters are circulating the air, but the smell is still overpowering.</mark>*

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">There is a high-security airlock to the east and an exit labelled CAUTION to the south.</mark>*

Head to the **Negative Pressure Labe (B2)**

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">You step into the airlock, which closes automatically behind you. There is a sucking sound, and the air pressure changes slightly. After a moment, the inner door pops open and you walk forward.</mark>*

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">You are back in the negative pressure lab. The alarm is still beeping furiously. The ape is pacing, muttering "No no no no no" but as soon as he notices you he is in your face again.</mark>*

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">"You!" He points at you.</mark>*

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">"Goo!" He points at the pipe.</mark>*

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">He stares at you.</mark>*

**>give empty tank to ape**\
\&#xNAN;*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">"Finally!"</mark>*

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">The ape places the empty tank below the pipe. The alarm stops beeping.</mark>*

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">After a moment of quiet the ape gently leads you back to the door.</mark>*

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">"You've done enough damage here."</mark>*

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">Once again he shoves you into the airlock, once again you go through the airlock sequence and find yourself back in the room with the superacid vat.</mark>*

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">In the center of a well-lit room stands a large vat. High-powered filters are circulating the air, but the smell is still overpowering.</mark>*

*<mark style="background-color:yellow;">There is a high-security airlock to the east and an exit labelled CAUTION to the south.</mark>*
