You are the Midyan explorer Itzma Mazamac. After the appearance of a strange, sprawling complex in orbit of your homeworld of Xochima, the Priesthood hand picked you to investigate it. After taking a shuttle into orbit to board the complex, you were surprised to find that it contained a breathable atmosphere at the correct pressure. What do you do? This is a choose your own adventure type thing, except you write in the actions you think the character should take. If there aren't a whole lot of suggestions, I'll pick which one I like the most. If you don't like that, quote and second other people's suggestions so I can get a feel of what the audience wants to see.

You look around you. To the left, through the archway, is the shuttle you took to the complex. It's currently docked. To the right, down the stairs, is the unknown. What do you do?

Look at those weird, disturbingly high-resolution bricks in the wall. Then touch them. See if they do anything. You know, like the group that is like a deformed T or a Tetris piece. Contemplate suicide while doing so.

Contemplate suicide while doing so. You pull your cloak back to more easily fondle the bricks. You rub your hand all over them, apply pressure, and thoroughly probe them with your fingers. They're rough, cold, and probably made out of clay. What do you do?

Go down the stairs while contemplating how easy it'd be to throw myself down them, to my death.

Worry about potential dangers. Disregard potential dangers and descend anyway.

Worry about potential dangers. Disregard potential dangers and descend anyway. You head down the stairs, and find yourself in another room. The room continues to the left. There are some archways leading into darkness, and a strange device on the wall between them. What do you do?

Wonder where all the light is coming from.

Wonder where all the light is coming from. You look upwards, towards the source of all the light. Huh. Light bulbs. That's pretty anachronistic. What do you do?

Look at that neato device in the wall. Could end our eternal suffering. Or be a neat machine. Either way check it out.

Look at that neato device in the wall. Could end our eternal suffering. Or be a neat machine. Either way check it out. You take a closer look at the thing on the wall. It appears to be screwed onto the wall. Whatever it is, it's pretty worn; especially around two slots on the side where it appears you could insert something. The center of the device is taken up by a button, and a vent is nestled in the bottom left of the device. If it runs on electricity, it must come through the wall. What do you do?

Press the button. Press the button aggressively.
Touch everything on the panel.

Press the button. Press the button aggressively. Touch everything on the panel. You rub your hands all over the panel, pressing everything, feeling every nook and cranny with your fingers. Nothing happens, but now your hands smell like metal. You finally push the button to see what it does. Sparks come out of the vent, and a whole lot of nothing follows. You've somehow found a way to misuse something that seems idiot proof: a one button device. What do you do?

Do I have something thin and metal? I saw FLATHEAD SCREWS on that bitch. Let's crack it open.

Take out your trusty portable light source that all explorers have and have a peer down the nearest passageway. The panel can go bugger itself.

Look further down the room to see what else is present before delving into the dark passageways.

Look further down the room to see what else is present before delving into the dark passageways. Worried about what you'd find in the dark and given a much easier option, you move further right into the room. You find the end of the room, and a ladder leading to somewhere unknown. There's light coming through the opening the ladder leads up to at least. What do you do?

Inspect the ladder aggressively. Determine whether or not it can hold your weight.

Inspect the ladder aggressively. Determine whether or not it can hold your weight. You pull as hard as you can on the ladder. No matter how hard you try, it stays firmly affixed to the ground. You'll probably be able to climb it with no problem. What do you do?

Climb up the ladder carefully, because you can never be too sure with these things.

Climb up the ladder carefully, because you can never be too sure with these things. You take care as you scale the ladder, and arrive at your destination with no problem. It's a small room. The only thing of notice is a shelf, with several objects sitting on it. What do you do?

Brute-force the box open with the flashlight. If whatever's in the box doesn't kill us, grab everything and stuff it in the box. Check inventory.

Wonder how you could have an inventory, of all things.

You thoroughly robust the box, get ready to cram things inside. But there's already something inside! It looks like some sort of beaten up key? You really have no idea what it is. As for your inventory, your robe has some pretty deep pockets. You've already stowed the flashlight. Though their capacity is impressive, stuff at the bottom of your pockets starts getting hard to get the more you fill them up. By the time they're full, you'd have to empty them totally to reach anything at the bottom. What do you do?
