Where...? We're making a general push to find the center of the "spiral," wherever that turns out to be. I don't know if they've figured out the entire password situation at the high school yet.

[thewarningafter]

All the doors inside the high school, if I'm understanding correctly. I haven't been out that way in a while. Some things came up.

[thewarningafter]

Oh, just a few deaths. Nothing big.

You'll want to use the maintenance tunnels to travel. They bypass the industrial area and Hsiaoke Pass entirely, and you can minimize your radiation exposure that way. There's no guarantee you won't run into anomalies down there, though, just to warn you.

[thewarningafter]

It's mostly the area directly south of the industrial park that you need to worry about. We're under constant exposure to radiation everywhere in town, but that's the only place it's strong enough to outpace the nanomachines' repair of our bodies.

[thewarningafter]

Uh, yeah.

I can't remember, was Andromeda's ghost a thing when you were last here?

[thewarningafter]

Oh, good. I forgot that was a ghost. She, ah, protected us. Theoretically. Wi -- there was one of those malfunctions and she gave us pathways to follow. Those of us who followed didn't get hurt.

[thewarningafter]

We've seen a lot more of Andromeda lately than we used to, but I wouldn't say she's been easy to contact.

[He's not even going to mention House and Sherlock's efforts to resurrect a townsperson. That's just been such an incredible shitshow he doesn't want to touch it with a ten foot pole.]

[thewarningafter]

Now that's the Andersen I remember.

[thewarningafter]

We're getting close to the center of the spiral, though. No idea what we'll find there -- other than that it's likely to kill us -- but we're getting close.

[thewarningafter]

I'm starting to agree.

[thewarningafter]

You meeting up with them?

[thewarningafter]

Oh, good. Because that's worked in the past.

Good luck.
