Sentinel Comics RPG Core Rulebook

Scene 2
Basement One:
Administrative Offices
This level contains the Administrative Offices, an
Auditorium, and the Staff Living Quarters. There
are /2 Antibody Bots here.
A hero who wants to spend their turn looking
around might find things like:
• The personal quarters of the scientists are
tiny but could house a dozen people. They’re
very lived in – the scientists clearly left (or
were removed) quickly, without packing, and
possibly not voluntarily.
• A handwritten note in an office drawer states
“Remember: you stashed the blue block near
water tank 5.” This gives the heroes a +2 to
locate the blue key in Basement Two.
• A bottle labeled “Detangler,” making the hero
possessing it immune to the Big Shaggy Angry
Thing’s "Intensely Shaggy" ability.
The staircase is both locked and filled with
highly a deadly biotoxin gas. To proceed to the
next floor through the stairs, the heroes must
find a way to disable the lock then deal with the
biotoxin. (Or they could smash through the floor.
Remember: reward creativity!)
Remember that there is a -1 penalty on either
physical or electronic methods, depending on
what the heroes did last time — it’s up to you to
decide what category their attempt falls in.
Basement Two: Agricultural Lab
Basement Two contains the mega-agricultural
laboratory. Large hydroponic tanks full of various
oversized food crops grow peacefully — except
for the /2 Defender Pods, which are anything
but peaceful as they whip their "heads" around,
seeking suitable targets for their grain flechettes.
The lock to the stairwell is a two-key lock
mechanically impervious to other forms of hacking.
The keys are thumb-sized square blocks of brightly
colored molded plastic, infused with complex
electrical pathways that form unduplicatable keys.
Opening the complex lock requires locating both
of the keys — one blue and one yellow — and
placing them in their specific receptacles. The
heroes must successfully Overcome to find each
key once they realize that’s what they need to do.
If they found the note in Basement One, they have
a +2 bonus to finding the blue key.
Basement Three: Cryogenics Lab
Basement Three contains the cryogenics lab. Tanks
of liquid helium, superconducting magnets, frigid
cryochambers, etc. /2 Cryopedes are leaving
frosty trails on the floor as they scuttle about.
The staircase is only accessible through a large
cryochamber, kept only a few degrees above
absolute zero. To get to the stairs safely, the frigid
gas within the chamber must be dealt with and
the lock must be hacked or destroyed
