Mission 6d - Mission of Mercy

Sam reloads the RPG and takes another shot at the demon he hit previously, aiming for its head. ((2 hits))

Loaded Ammo: 5/5
Stored Shotgun Ammo: 5
Rockets: 3

Sam's shot is not the greatest, but it somehow manages to hit one of the two demons straight in the face by pure luck. The rocket explodes and so does the demon's head; a much more satisfying result than his previous shot. The second demon is still perfectly fine though and charges at Sam, tossing another ball of energy at him. It only barely injures him, but it hurts. (2P)

Sam reloads his RPG and shoots at the remaining demon, aiming for its face ((1 hit))

Loaded Ammo: 5/5
Stored Shotgun Ammo: 5
Rockets: 2

The demon slips aside from the rocket which flies past him and its a wall near some of the suspicious looking goo barrels, causing them to explode spectacularly. It charges forth and gets close to grabbing Sam's head, but he manages to duck aside and put some distance between him and the demon.

Sam, running low on rockets, knows that if he doesn't hit this demon with his next shot, the demon will probably rip his head off. He just hopes that Eula can pull him out of the machine before he dies.
Trying to prevent that grisly occurrence, Sam reloads the RPG, aims carefully for the demon's face, and pulls the trigger ((2 hits))

Loaded Ammo: 5/5
Stored Shotgun Ammo: 5
Rockets: 1

With rockets quickly running low, Sam fires another rocket at the demon's head. It is expecting the shot and manages to sidestep it. Sam has but one rocket remaining as the demon reaches him and smashes him into a wall. Luckily his helmet protects him from much of a major head injury, but things are not looking great. ((2P)) He would really like to get pulled out by Eula right about now...

Sam reloads the RPG and squeezes off one last shot at the demon before expecting searing pain of either his head being ripped off, or dumpshock fun Eula pulling him out. Or both. ((2 hits))

Loaded Ammo: 5/5

Sam basically closes his eyes and fires his last rocket, fully expecting a whole lot of pain coming his way, one way or another. The rocket explodes and he feels something hot and wet slops across his face. When he opens his eyes, the headless corpse of the demon falls to its knees and collapses. He expects himself to be pulled out by Eula, but that doesn't happen, which is probably for the best as some dump shock at this point might be lethal. In the very least it would put him in critical condition. At least for now, he doesn't appear to be in any immediate danger...

Sam looks around the room, a little bit amazed to have pulled that encounter out, but more surprised to still be in the simulation. He feels awful.
He doesn't have access to his biomonitor, but he's pretty sure it must be pretty bad right now. Why hasn't Eula pulled him out?
Thinking about Eula not pulling him out of the machine, and also remembering how that medkit worked instantly like a video game medkit, Sam starts to suspect that the in-simulation condition monitor isn't affecting his meat body. That thought is encouraging--at least Sam wouldn't be in danger of real death--but he doesn't want to test the theory if possible.
He looks around the room, hoping to find a medkit. ((0 hits))

Loaded Ammo: 5/5
Stored Shotgun Ammo: 5
Rockets: 0

The room contains no obvious medkits or supplies or features other than the pillars the barons of hell came out of and the couple of remaining barrels of mysterious goo that haven't exploded.

With no other features to explore, Sam climbs the steps in the center of the room and examines the pillars. ((3 hits))

The pillars have a sliding door, through which the two barons of hell stepped out of. Examining the interior, Sam can see they each contain a portal, which must be where the barons came from.

Not wanting to take a trip to hell just now, Sam climbs back down from the platform and knocks shave and a haircut on the red door.

"Finished already?" a voice from the other side replies, "You sure you got them all?"

"Huh," the voice says, "You've beat them and you've got all your limbs still attached? You sure?"

"Hmm... Alright," the voice says before the door opens. The green guy has his weapon drawn, half expecting to get jumped as he looks around and says, "Huh. All limbs accounted for and no demons. You don't look so hot, but I'd call that a win overall. Guess that ends the simulation."

"Well, I'm still not completely convinced you're actually a person," the green suit guy says, "And if that's the case, what does it matter if I'm mean to a program? Especially if it gets me to finally complete this training simulation. It should be shutting down any moment, I guess."

Sam is pretty sure if the system shuts down with him still in it, the best case scenario he can hope for is some dump shock. Given he's not quite sure how things work in this system, it's entirely possible that something worse could happen.

"I cannot be here when the simulation shuts down.
Goodbye, Doctor." Sam says, and takes off running towards the portal out of the simulation.

Sam can feel things getting darker, his movements more sluggish as the simulation goes through it's shutdown procedure. To an observer outside the system, this is probably happening in seconds, but Sam's perception of it is stretched out, making it feel like minutes as he runs through room after room, leaping across a crumbling bridge and making his way back to the entry portal. He can see everything derezzing around him and with them his prospects of escape. Finally he opens the entrance to the base and dives through the portal, awakening in the real world just as the computer system shuts down, its training session complete.

Sam reemerges into the meat world, and still feels just as much in pain as he did inside the simulation. He checks on his biomonitor and sees that it shows him very much in danger.
"Why did you not pull the plug?" He asks Eula.
He takes a few aspirin from his medkit to dull the throbbing in his head, and sends a message to WuJen.((4 hits (glitch) first aid))
>>>>>>I believe Dr. NakaMats transferred his mind to the computer.
With nothing pressing left to do, Sam tries to ignore the pain in his head with some matrix games.
Not Doom.

Eula says, "I attempted to disconnect you, but it did not work. You remained in the system. Apologies for my failure. Would you like a sandwich?"

The aspirin up doesn't do much, but is better than nothing. Unfortunately while reaching for the pain killers, Sam manages accidentally cut his hand on the bandage scissors in there, dripping blood all over the supplies and contaminating most of them. The rest are used to bandage up his hand. The wound isn't life threatening or anything, but it seems like he'll need to replace the supplies in the medkit before the next time he needs to use it to fix an injury.((2 boxes healed and the medkit runs out of supplies due to glitch))

Sam looks down at the data cable hanging limply from his cyberdeck that he did not notice until now.
And now he tries to figure out how the machine kept a connection to his cyberdeck with no wireless, and without a physical connection. He has no answer to that, as it seems to defy physics as Sam understands physics.

"Yes. I would like a sandwich," he says.

He would also like to go back in and talk to Dr. NakaMats some more. But, he needs to rest first. And he needs to refill hits medkit. And, he needs to earn some money to refill his medkit.

Eula brings Sam his sandwich, and Sam sits down to eat and relax, and looks for some gaming competitions he could enter to earn a little bit of money.
