SECURITY SCREENING
Once upon a time, the Clearview Apartments had an airy, spacious lobby. It has since been transformed into a security hub and is the first line of defense against undesirable human survivors. Capable individuals, such as yourself, can volunteer to assist those who maintain the building's security full time.

Quote:
To consider this quest complete, you must clear or deny entry to three people. It doesn't matter if all three fail to make it inside during the first step; as long as you have attempted to clear three individuals, you may go for the umbrella reward.

If you are taking on this quest in a group, one person may do the rolling as long as everyone RPs the results.


Step One - The Key Card
Each resident has a key card that they must carry on their person at all times. The key card readers are the only things that have a working source of power in the building, and as long as they are active, no one without a card should even be able to get through the glass doors without resorting to violence. Ideally, you should be able to just stand there while they let themselves in.

Roll 1d4.

  1. The person approaching has no key card. They beg you to let them in, but you stand firm. Eventually they give up. (It is up to you how much they fight before they go/are chased away.)
  2. The person approaching has no key card, but you swear you recognize them. You let them inside when the main guards aren't looking. Move on to Step Two.
  3. The person approaching produces their key card and passes through the front doors without incident. Move on to Step Two.
  4. The person outside has spent the last twenty minutes searching for their key card and... oh, look! They finally found it! How did it even get in there? Move on to Step Two.

Step Two - The Umbrella
This is a simple umbrella check. Ask to see the resident's equipment.

Roll 1d20.

  • 1-13: An umbrella is successfully produced for inspection. Examine it. Hold it. Comment on it. Move on to Step Three.
  • 14-20: The faker tries to explain that they just misplaced their umbrella, but even if you believe them, they can't come any farther. You may assist security in kicking the person out, or stand back and watch.

Step Three - The Salute
Every Clearview resident must know the Clearview Salute. It changes weekly, so if you have a poor memory, stay inside. In order to make sure the person trying to enter knows the salute, you must take them behind one of several cloth screens and watch them perform it.

Roll 1d6.

  1. They obviously know nothing of the salute. Halfway through their attempt they give up, muttering to themself as they are escorted out.
  2. Upon noticing that entry requires a salute, they scream in terror and run back outside.
  3. They execute the Clearview Salute flawlessly! You feel confident welcoming them with open arms.
  4. You almost approve this person for entry, but something about them gives you pause. You ask to see their umbrella again, and while you're examining it, it falls apart in your hands! INTRUDER!
  5. They confidently perform a salute, but it's not the right one. They're going to have to go.
  6. After hesitating a little, they stiffly run through the entirety of the salute, only missing one or two gestures. It's good enough, even for the proper security guard peering over your shoulder.

If you complete this quest and post over 100 words, October will reward you with two cocktail umbrellas the next time he sees you! Please claim them in this thread using the faction quest point claim form located here.

Ingrid settled down at the front desk, pulling her lab goggles up to sit on her forehead, and watched the doors. An elderly-looking man was out there, looking through his belongings. She thought he looked familiar, actually, but she wasn't entirely sure.

It took him quite a while to find his keycard. The expression of relief on his face when he finally did made Ingrid wince a little. Hopefully he was a resident.

"Sir, I'll need to see your umbrella," she said, loudly, and waited. To her relief, he didn't have any trouble finding that. She came out from behind the desk to check the umbrella over, then nodded.

"Salute, please," she said, and nearly jumped when the man grabbed his umbrella back from her and ran right out the door.

Sighing, Ingrid returned to her desk. She felt a little sorry for him, but rules were rules.

She sat at the desk for a while, picking at her cuticles, until she saw someone else outside. "...Alex? That you?" She got up to open the door.

'Alex' - s**t, she really hoped it was Alex - looked vastly relieved as she opened the door. And... no. It wasn't him.

"Umbrella?" she asked, sharply.

He gave her a blank look. Ingrid shoved him right back out the door. She wasn't that strong, but she'd managed to take the intruder by surprise. He sat on the ground for a little while, looking up at her in horror, before getting up and trudging away.

Ingrid checked her watch. At least one thing in her life still worked right. When she looked up, it was because she heard the beep of the security system - somebody had let themselves in.

"I'll need to see your umbrella, lady."

The woman blinked. "Umbrella?"

"Where'd you get that card! ... Security!"

After she had been removed from the lobby, Ingrid concluded her shift. She took the woman's confiscated keycard upstairs with her - the others could figure out who they'd lost.
