Steampunk World – Escape Lab
Replika wakes up. They find they are trapped in room. Replika doesn’t know she’s a robot. They find Pressure Point which, when triggered, sets off a Rube Goldberg device that opens the door. Outside door, they explore complex a little, finding a (steam) power generator room and a bedroom off the atrium. Outside is covered in fog. They find a steam-powered longboat, motor at the back, steering and start mechanism at the front. It’s mechanism is binary and they almost die when it is turned on. Octavian touches time magic but can’t recall it. They see a pirate ship as they come to shore, and it seems someone is watching them from it.
