Mr. Stick adventure (chapter 1)

[Sneak]

Poor Mister Stick is probably starving by now ;P

Indeed!
Mr. Stick hopes that behind the door in upper room there's kitchen with his deserved snack! Person who made this weird place must have built a kitchen with fridge of snacks!

Use the Keycard on the H-tech Safe, plz :> Maybe there's a nice snack in there!

Indeed, there's cardreader slot on H-tech safe front side! Mr. Stick tries to insert found keycard...



Damn! Keycard seems to fit perfectly to slot, but for some reason, cardreader doesn't want to eat his keycard.

[Sleeping-force's-inside]

Mmmhhhh... Can the corners of the card fit in the screws at the bottom of the chest? Try to Unscrew the Chest.

Mr. Stick tries so.



Unfortunatelly, screws' slots are too thin for card.

[ImpracticalDino]

On the H-tech safe, is there some sort of place where you can enter a number combination? If so, punch in 6, 3, 6 in order.

On the H-tech safe, is there some sort of place where you can enter a number combination?

Mr. Stick is not sure. He decides to show H-tech closer for you.



On ts front side, there are seven buttons, three not-working displays, and two slots.

Logic says that displays in the middle, possibly, are used for showing code numbers, and buttons around them are for switching numbers. But displays doesn't show anything. Looks like safe is "turned off".

Also, safe has a door at the bottom side, but expectedly, it is locked.



<Don't forget to examine items and look at them closer!>

[ImpracticalDino]

Well, it looks likes it’s turned off...but Mr. Stick hasn’t attempted to press any buttons. Hopefully numbers, so then the 636 number combination can be used.

If it still doesn’t work...perhaps the H-tech has a battery compartment? Show us every single side of that safe. If there’s one found, Mr. Stick could maybe use the batteries from his flashlight and insert it in there.

If all goes well and it powers on, then insert the key card in the slot. It should insert properly by then.

Only two sides of safe contain interesting stuff. Other sides are just empty metal walls. Mr. Stick tries to press buttons, but nothing happens.

As for flashlight and its batteries...

Mr. Stick tries to open flashlight and checks if he can take off batteries...

Yes! He can!



But...

Mr. Stick can't see where he can put such type of batteries. They doesn't fit for safe's left slot. With that, mr. Stick puts batteries back  to flashlight. Or should he keep them separatedly?

[ImpracticalDino]

Can you bring up Mr. Stick’s inventory again? I want to see everything he has on him right now. I say you should keep the batteries separate. I don’t see any need for him to use his flashlight anymore...at least not for now.

[Sleeping-force's-inside]

Well, if we're studying things anyway; have a closer look at the rod & the card, maybe knowing details we can see where those could go.

[ImpracticalDino]

Wait a minute...I just realized something.

Mr. Stick takes long metal rod. It has a screw at the end.

It has a screw at the end...

Use the metal rod to unscrew those bolts at the bottom of the chest!

Can you bring up Mr. Stick’s inventory again? I want to see everything he has on him right now. I say you should keep the batteries separate. I don’t see any need for him to use his flashlight anymore...at least not for now.

Mr. Stick currently has:

- big blank sheet of paper
- flashlight (without batteries)
- small paper with numbers on it
- long thin rubber tube
- keycard
- thin metal rod
- long metal stick with screw at the end
- H-tech portable safe (too heavy to carry for long time. Currently it is placed on metal chest in lower room)
- two small batteries (their energy is almost empty)

Well, if we're studying things anyway; have a closer look at the rod & the card, maybe knowing details we can see where those could go.

Mr. Stick examines  long metal rod and keycard more closely.

It has a screw at the end...

Use the metal rod to unscrew those bolts at the bottom of the chest!

Unfortunatelly, it's screw, not screwdriwer's tip.

[ImpracticalDino]

Thank you for the inventory check.

Aha! Mr. Stick didn’t realize he was inserting the key card in the wrong way. Try again, except this time with the arrows facing the direction of the slot.

(If you looked closely in the original picture where Mr. Stick tried inserting the key card, you may notice some tiny black lines that point away from the slot.)

<Nice catch! >

Worth to try.
Mr. Stick tries to insert keycard again, in all four possible variantions, but... no results. Alas.

[ImpracticalDino]

Hmm...the metal rod with the screw at the end has another use perhaps.

Push the metal rod in the button as far as Mr. Stick can go. Make sure the screw side of the rod goes in first, and maybe it'd latch in and keep the button pushed?

Mr. Stick goes to weird wall button, and uses long rod on it.



Rod disappears in the wall more and more, and button continues to move as well...
What a weird but...!



!!!

Suddenly, button stopped move, reaching its limit, and *click * sound could be heard.
Mr. Stick takes rod out from the hole, and...





Button threw out some tiny item...
Mr. Stick picks it up.





It is some strange tool.

[ImpracticalDino]

Examine the new tool closer. What could it’s purpose be?

[Sneak]

Examine the new tool closer. What could it’s purpose be?

Mr. Stick does so.



It looks like weird screwdriver. With two different tips of different length.

[ImpracticalDino]

First, use the circular tip of the screwdriver to unscrew those screws at the bottom of the chest. It should work. If not for some reason, then move on to the next tip.

Mr. Stick hopes this tool would unscrew small metal plate at the bottom of chest.
And minute later, all four screws are unscrewed!



Something was hidden under the plate.
From the first look, it is some kind of small battery.

[Sleeping-force's-inside]

Try placing the battery into the safe's battery opening
