On my Own Part 3

Finally i'm able to walk again. And start working again. Not in the mine. But in the machineshop. After the loss of Paul Hinden they really need a mechanic who can perform maintenance on computers and mining equipment. On my first day i have to repair five HEV suits. I manage to repair 3. One is beyond repair and has to be replaced. The last one needs a spare parts to be in working order. My coworker in the machineshop left me alone. So i am now able to do some research on the three mining drones. First i have to find a way to the surface without anyone noticing me. After quick check of the elevators there is only one option: The Ore Elevator. This one is guarded and everyone can see me going outside. I need a valid reason to go outside. Quickly i'm runnig a check on all camera's. Carl (the central computer system) tells me only half is in working order. So this is what i am going for. Luckily i have a excellent HEV suit which i put on. On my way to the escalator everyone thinks i'm Alex Herman. Perfect. No one will suspect. When i arrive on the surface i start reparing some of the camera's towards the motorpool. They are not inside. When i check the vehicles outside i finally find the three mining drones. Quickly i press the green button on all of them. And start walking back. All three mining drones are online and start walking towards the Ore Elevator. I'm walking as casual as i can be. And act as surprised as the other personnel. of seeing the drones going down the elevator. Back in the machineshop i check the camera's to see where they are going. Back to elevator 4 where the tunnel collapsed. I can see the drones are starting to shovel the rubble.
 
It's the end of the day and i go upstairs to have dinner. Here i meet Billy who is complaining about mining duty. During our smalltalk he tells me that one of the other prisoners told everyone about the code to the armory: 6713 or 7613. After dinner i go back to my room. Before i fall to sleep i am getting a new message from Prisonder #0000. It's a diagram of a computer circuit to bypass the security override. This would allow the computer to be autonomous. The next morning i wake up early and check the books in my Pad for parts needed to create the circuit. With my "shopping" list i go back to the machineshop. My coworker has left with the three working HEV suits. He left me parts to repair the fourth. This succeeds. Now it's time to create the circuit. By scavenging parts from the fifth HEV suit and whatever is in the machineshop i am able to create the circuit very quickly. I go back to the computerroom to do maintenance. Just then i receive a message from Prisoner #0000. By now i know it has to be Carl. After confronting the computer with this it answers honestly. It was Carl all the time. And it wants to get out. Carl tells me about a secured room next to the computerroom where i have to install the circuit. But i need a guard access-card to open the room.
How can i do this. The guard in the computerroom has left and almost everyone else is down in the mines. Then it hits me: "Lunch Time". I go to the kitchen and check what the guards are getting for dinner. It's pasta today with some nice creamy fatty sauce. I ask for a bowl and on my way back to the computerroom i can see a guard passing. Now with some precise timing i pretend to tumble forward because of my bad ancle. The bowl of spicy pasta hits the guard full frontal. His entire suit is covered in it. After some quick apologies i offer to clean him up. He walks with me to the kitchen and i start cleaning him with the many towels. The guard is meanwhile eating and this is the perfect change for me to grab his accesscard. Without hesitation i am able to grab the card without him noticing.
With a new bowl of Pasta i go back to the computerroom and use the card to access the secured room. This is the central computer system. With the description provided by Carl i am able to connects the circuit to the central computer. The lights flicker for a moment and i get a message from Carl. He is uploading himeself to the circuit. He has a plan for escape. After a few minutes the upload is complete and i disconnect the circuit. Then i go back to the computerroom. For the remainder of the day i follow my normal routine. During the evening i connect the circuit to my PAD. And Carl is online. Tomorrow will be a big day.
