Phase 2 - Running the Ratrace

You have my sincerest apologies, but I have my mission.

The traps start. Rotating blades coming out of the walls and floors and ceilings, jets of fire, lasers, holographic enemies. The clear walls of the maze let them see what's happening to everyone else.

The traps start, and they have to stay alive despite them. If they stop avoiding them, it's their own fault, you see, if they die. That makes it indirect enough for Stacy's Anti-harming-the-crew protocols to be avoided, as Hal, despite his reprogramming, still has to follow some constraints.

Please commence with killing yourselves by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The only chance the group has is if they work together to stay alive, and somehow they have to take out the shield projectors creating the maze even though they themselves are shielded...

[ooc: Cooperation is key, people. Hal can only adapt to one power/skill-set at a time, not all of them.]

Apparently, Hal didn't do his research, because electricity projectors come out of the walls as do laser guns.

Other gun turrets start to set themselves up--but all these temporary ones are not shielded. Maybe they can be taken out with gun fire?

More blasters. Hal sure does love his blaster fire.

More than that, big, chompy...chompers come out of the floors and walls, like venus flytraps or other grinding mechanisms, trying to chew them up and spit them out.

Who wants to be a treat?

Sink holes. The floor is treacherous here and unstable where they stand. Holographic pits of death are opening before them. There are stakes--hey is that an pit of acid over there. Hal puts his hard-light holographic projectors to the test, and the safeties are off.

Watch where you step.

The floors are sticky, the walls are sticky, and it makes it hard to move. Think superglue.

Oh, also there might be poison gas.

Bladed things. Axes hurled from walls, shurikens, knives. If it's bladed, it's zipping at you at high speed.

Would you like some fire? Because there are jets of it everywhere. Fire here, fire there, fire everywhere.

Have some holographic water pouring into your blocked off chamber. It can drown you just as good. Also, there's some prehensile tangle weeds trying to drag you under.

Holographic robot warriors appear in front of you. Fighting is in close quarters, every time you destroy one, another will appear, and they're massively strong and keep going unless you manage to completely knock them to pieces.

Someone wants to speak with you. Y'know, mentally.
