[Martin's day isn't going well. And he's shouting as loudly as Squalo had been on the first communication. He's also very clearly running.]

May day! May day may day may day! Oh, god! Oh, god! May day! There's- Drone. Electricity spikes. Oh, god! East jungle. Close to shore!

[His responses to things may be delayed depending on whether or not he can escape the thing.]

Focus on getting out first. Let us know if the ideas you've gotten so far turn out to be a bust.

[lonelynotforsaken]

Multi-tasking. Removing hinges is out as an option. There aren't any. Looks like the door slides up. There are multiple deadbolts along one side. I'm checking now to see if there's any way it can get them open from in here. I found a lockpick in the mattress. I've never tried picking a lock from inside somewhere, if that's what I need to do, though.

[cactusy]

Shoestring idea's not a bad one.

How skinny is your arm?

[lonelynotforsaken]

It's not. The bars are close enough I can barely get more than my fingers through. I'm going to try getting my hand through if I can find something worth doing that for.

[cactusy]

You said the cell looks old. Any of the bars rusty?

[lonelynotforsaken]

Yeah. I've already tried some of them. They're rusty, but not rusty enough to break through. I found a syringe in the toilet's tank, but I'm not sure how I'd use that. Maybe throw it at- actually. How much do you know about electronics? Would trying to short circuit the reader be more likely to keep the door locked down or release it?

[cactusy]

Uh-- it probably depends? I don't know, I don't actually know much about electronics. I do know about medical stuff, though. Leave the mystery syringe alone.

What about twisting your shirt into a rope, wrapping it around the rustiest bar, and trying to pull it in?

[lonelynotforsaken]

There's nothing in it, and it looks like it's been broken off of something. The drones, if I'm right.

[He can feel the bruise where he'd been injected. It just seems logical that this is the same thing that had injected into him.]

I have another idea I'm going to try, but I'll give that one a go if it doesn't work.

[cactusy]

Share with the class if it works.

[It's several hours later, and Martin is switching to text because his emotional stability is rapidly deteriorating along with his digestive tract. No one needs to hear that. Texting on these takes longer, but it works.]

I think I've shorted out one of the drones.
I used the syringe to put water all over its docking port.
Heard a pop and there's smoke.
Another one's taken off, though.
Not sure if I'll be able to do it for all three with what I have.

[cactusy]

Huh. Good for you.

Any sign of people yet?

[lonelynotforsaken]

No.
I'm going to try the bars again in a little bit.
I'm resting.

[He's being sick, but that feels unproductive to mention.]
