Tozol Quest is a quest by TestPattern taking place in a mysterious and seemingly abandoned science lab, featuring many mutated and bio-engineered creatures.
Quest Summary
The quest stars a "Tozol" nicknamed "Penji" by suggesters but is code named and referred to as "Tethys" throughout the actual facility. Trapped in the base, known as "Quadrant Five" Penji has been doing her best to survive and discover exactly what she, and this place are. She is only one of the creatures that were apparently being monitored here, there were others known as 'Ophion', 'Nyx', and 'Phanes'.
Characters
Penji (Tethys)
The main character, possessing a wide variety of skills and extra pieces. Apparently has regenerative capabilities and an incredible amount of self-awareness, even able to detect objects in her body and control her healing. She suffers from complete amnesia but knows the names of objects and can use most tools. She is apparently considered exceedingly dangerous, as she started the quest plugged into a kill switch and under heavy sedation.
Mitzi (Nyx)
The only other living resident found up to this point, she identifies as human but seems to be another experiment as she has claws and barbed teeth. She is the sister of Ophion (real name Marcus) and initially was very violent against Penji. Is part space shark.
Eugen
He was the best demolitions expert we ever knew.
Chapter Summary
Chapter 1: O Sleeper, Awake
In this chapter, Penji wakes up in a metal tube filled with an unknown liquid covered in what seemed to be iv's and an oxygen mask. Here suggesters learned a little about Penji, and gave her that nickname. Once she broke out of said metal tube, Penji proceeded to rip open a cabinet, where she obtained and used a bandage on the wounds acquired when she ripped out the iv's, which her skin had healed around.
Chapter 2: The Devil in Iron
Penji acquired a lab coat and a tazer from the newly opened cabinet, and starts to explore. After spotting a computer, she proceeded to mess with the buttons, however they proved to be unresponsive. She then noticed a keyhole, and used the key she found in the pocket of the lab coat on it, which caused a new panel to appear. Because the buttons were not labeled other than in numerical order, she decided to jam buttons until something happened. When pressing 4 resulted in one of the iv's that used to be in her to pump a liquid, she decided to check if the other metal tube was empty, which in retrospect, would have been a good idea to do before pressing all those buttons. Luckily, the tube turned out to be empty. Using the key card she found in the pocket of the lab coat, she opened a door to find a computer. She decided to check for information on the name "Qillig", which she found on the keycard,and looked for information on a "Tozol". Qilliq turned out to be a scientist interested in the Tozol, and the Tozol turned out to be her. Using the information on the computer, she also determined the combination of the safe, which had a gun, a key card, and an interesting scrap of paper.
Chapter 3: From What Hell Have You Crawled?
Penji finally leaves the room she had been imprisoned in. She finds a fusebox and manages to cut power, but restores it after she realizes she can't see in the dark. In a nearby room, she finds a human skeleton, presumably eaten away with acid. Further exploration yields a door control console, with which Penji unlocks an autopsy room. Penji finds a disturbing image of her own autopsy in there. Penji sits down in shock and doesn't want to think about it.
Chapter 4: Hall of The Dead
Penji leaves the autospy room as it is too much to deal with right now. She decides to open "Live Storage" instead. She heads first to "Lab Control" which is just a mess of blood and destruction. Cell 1 is empty. Cell 2 has a strange sleeping figure. Approaching carefully, Penji nudges the figure with her toe only to be bitten by the crazed monster! With a combination of a kick to the face and a tazer to the tits, Penji fights her assailant off.
The human-looking creature tells Penji she tastes like a poison called "Suppress". Having found "Counter-Suppress" elsewhere, Penji tosses the girl a syringe of it. She injects herself, and informs Penji that she's a human named Mitzi. Penji says that she's not human based on anatomy, but Mitzi doesn't respond. Penji goes outside and injects the counter-suppress, which triggers a lot of pain as well as countering some of the suppress in her system, allowing her to become aware of her microbiology. Penji decides to start repairing her damaged heart. Momentarily, a robot comes out of a nearby doorway.
Chapter 5: Old Machines
Chapter 6: Monsters
Chapter 7: A Coin from Acheron
Penji finds a video recording of a mutated and mutilated Mitzi, who runs off in distress. There is lots of faffing with the Decon corridor until a lightly roasted Penji crowbars the door open. The other side contains a pristine break room with a toilet stall full of blood and a corpse. Penji arms up with a rifle, but it's missing its firing pin; plays tech support, but the computers have been bodged with the firing pins; and has an emergency-line phone conversation with a very calm voice which proceeds to tell her people are incoming within six hours to contain or kill the escapees. On the upside, at least her heart is fixed now.
Chapter 8: Totentanz
Chapter 9: Interdiction
Chapter 10: Blood of the Gods
Penji sees a picture of Hyperion.
Chapter 11: The Magician
Deep in the Biology sector of the facility, Penji and Mitzi confront Quillig, who is sequestered in a hardened office and talking to them via monitors. Quillig, who thinks Penji is a shapeshifted Marcus, taunts Penji and Mitzi for a while until Mitzi loses her shit and breaks the monitors. Penji and Mitzi spend a short time trying to break into the office until shit gets bad and the "jabberwocks"(silent, extremely dangerous beasts) are released. Penji gets battered by some jabberwocks but manages to escape with Mitzi as Mitzi loses confidence in Penji's decision making ability. Penji and Mitzi hide in a meat freezer until the bombs Marcus planted detonate, at which time Penji goes off to try to find some kind of weapon or tool to assist their escape. Mitzi gives Penji 30 minutes. Penji crawls through the air ducts until she reaches an artifact storage area, where she finds a tozol dropship. She recovers a tozol weapon(a "mercy-giver"), and proceeds to the adjacent room, where she acquires a helmet, two tozol anti-tank grenades, and the extremely valuable "Weasel Bar", a tool that can shift to various shapes depending on the job at hand. Penji receives a recorded message sent by Marcus, and finally has some clear direction on where to go.
Chapter 12: Determination
