Chapter 1 Part 1 – The Basement Beneath


"Aww shucks," sighed the Engineer.

The Engineer found himself in a brightly lit room. Strangely, it was brightly lit, even though there were no apparent light sources. The room was covered in wall-to-wall yellow wallpaper, and there were two doorways to the left and right of the room. There was also a ladder going downwards into another room. The oddest sight in the room was a circular device with intricate designs, and what looks to be cavities for four triangular objects, arranged in the shape of a diamond.

"Pardon me if I'm wrong, but I think I have to fill in those holes in the device," the Engineer remarks. "Where am I in this darn place going to get the pieces that fit though?"

The Engineer decides to go through the left doorway first, and was greeted with a room with similar wall-to-wall wallpaper, this time cream coloured. There was a pipe in the centre of the room, with a hole, probably for a valve. There was another doorway on the left of the room, which the Engineer went through.
This room had pinkish wallpaper, and in the corner of the room, there was a grandfather clock-like piece of furniture, grey and tall. There seems to be two ropes inside it, with a pearl dangling from one of the ropes. The ropes were attached to a box on top, with what appears to be a set of small double sliding doors. He deduced that he needs to open it, somehow. There was a ladder going up, so he climbed up.
This room had peach coloured wallpaper, and four equidistant parallel pipes were running their way up vertically to the ceiling. The pipes were yellow, and there was a valve behind them. The Engineer was suddenly glad that he brought along his toolbox, which is bigger on the inside than on the outside. This will allow him to carry anything he picks up. He picked up the valve and stuffed it in his extra dimensional toolbox, which also has his wrench inside. There was a heavy-duty steel power switch in the form of a lever, attached to the back wall in the rightmost part of the room, with some room between the switch's right side and the rightmost wall of the room. It had a small yellow pipe come off the top of it running into the wall on the right of the room. The Engineer threw the switch, but nothing happened.

The Engineer asks, "What was that darn thing for then?"

There was no time to answer that though, as the RED Engineer really wanted to go back to 2fort; to his teammates. So he climbed back down the ladder he came up in and walked back to the room with a single pipe in it. He took the valve out of his toolbox, and noticed that it fits in the hole in the pipe. So with a whack of his steel wrench, he fixed it into the pipe.
