The Positronic Library 
 
Italics are for things the PCs can figure out by investigating or asking questions.
Bold text is for creatures, objects or treasure. 
A once-famous Library, presently abandoned by its minders. Enter via the
Southern​
Courtyard​
, or from the
Underground​
(​
Tunnel​
).  
The
Core AI​
is catatonic after listening to the
Voltaic Sheet Music​
(​
Hall of Music)​
. As a result, its
Librarians​
(the​
Hushers​
) have gone mad. 
Southern Courtyard  
Library​
entrance; protected
by​
electric sliding doors​
(presently disabled) that
can be opened by hand. 
A
Machinery​
lies broken in the corner, near a pile of
bullet shells​
.
It has suffered some sort of electrical failure. 
Collapsable​
scattergun
(d6, BLAST).​
Its ammo cartridge is empty. 
Unlabeled bottle​
of​
Sonic Oil:
emits a loud squeal when trodden on. Enough to spread over the floor of a normal-sized room. 
North​
: a sloping tunnel to the
Lounge​
 
Lounge
Corner-speakers fill the room with white noise. On the
North wall​
is a shelf containing an
auditory control plate with volume knobs
Shelves crammed with paperbacks, mostly pulp novels and pornography. Piles of
New Science
books are tossed to one side, in mid-sort. 
Patrolling the room are three​
Broken​ Hushers​
(3hp, STR 12, DEX 10, silenced pistols (d6),
sensitivity indicators are out of whack
)
.

The room contains a
floating vortex​
of orange fire swirling around a circle of darkness.  
Anyone or anything that touches the sphere is sucked inside, lost forever.
Air, steam and smoke are not affected. 
North​
: a bolted-on metal plate to the​
Tunnel​
.
West​
:
hallway to the​
Lounge​
The room is lined with lead. It is currently raining very hard; weather patterns shift gradually every few minutes.  
On the
East​
wall is a
massive case containing a stationary
Weather Altar​
A stack of small tubes is piled in the corner.
Charging these tubes correctly can create single-use
lightning guns
(d8, BLAST). 
West​
:
hallway to the
Lounge​
In the corner is a small
potted plant​
that is perpetually on fire.
Eating the plant produces a permanent red bloom on the eater’s face (reroll CHA). 
Remnants of decayed and burnt plant material fill small pots on one side. Any plant material brought into the room slowly catches fire.

:
hallway to the​
Lounge.
