The group forms up, letting Lena lead them on. Or maybe back might be a more appropriate description, since thy are making thier way back to where they had entered the base. This does make Geri a little nervous, since they are now making thier way back to where they encountered the trap at the start. While she doesn't think they are going to go back that way, she is suddenly aware of the fact that they could be walking towards another trap. The though of competing in the games, and the risk of getting gunged, had just pushed it from her mind. At least until now.

Hoping to distract her from those thoughts, Geri falls into step beside Cara, prompting her to look around as she feels her eyes on her.

'Are you okay?' Cara asks, seeing the concern in her eyes.

'Yeah.' Geri says, hesitantly. 'Its just..I've been thinking. About the gunge.'

'About how it feels?' Cara guesses.

'Yeah. I mean..' Geri says, looking down at her feet uncertainly for a second. 'You seemed to enjoy it. I'm just not so sure.'

'Well..why not try it?' Cara asks softly.

'What?' Geri asks.

'The next game.' Cara continues. 'You should give it a go.'

The team are lead quickly through the maze of corridors, the rapid twists and turns leading them to a dead end. Lena having clearly been leading them right to the centre of the sector Jenny feels, which means that they aren't done here yet. But it is the room they are in most attracting her attention, her eyes drawn to the set of four chairs in front of the futuristic door that form the rear wall.

'You have done very well so far. But one final challenge lies between you and the exit from this sector. I can't follow you into this one, but we will meet up on the other side. So, take a seat and I will send you through.'

Quickly, Jenny moves to take a seat, feeling an odd rush of excitement. She's seen this kinda thing on tv before. And she cannot help imagining what these chairs might be carrying them towards. They might even get gunged on the way, like Double Dare on Saturday Surprise. She really loved that show.
Geri seems to have been thinking the same thing, taking her seat very relunctantly a good ten seconds after Amy and Cara had, leaving her in the middle with the other two on her right and Jenny on her left.

'Okay, are you ready. Here we go.' Lena grins, pulling the lever she had been standing by firmly, needing both hands to yank it down. With a shower of sparks the door opened, revealing a pitch blackness beyond. Geri shrieked in shock, her head suddenly dipped as if she expected to get gunged at that moment. When it didn't come, she raised her head cautiously as she chairs started to move into the darkness.

That few moments of darkness were disorienting but then Geti could see light ahead of her, an oval arch that she is being carried towards. She had felt the chair moving from side to side, the changes in direction completely throwing her. She has no idea of which direction she is going anymore or where the others are. She gets that revealed as her chair glides out into the light, looking around her quickly she spots her three teammates now on her left had side, all of them having climbed already out of there chairs.
Geri would have too, but she can suddenly see no point, having worked out why she had felt the chair shufting direction. She had been carried right into a wide circular tank, the chair shuddering to a halt just in front of a large lever mounted into the floor. Geri just has time to see that the others have been brought out a few feet to her left, all of them free to climb out of thier chairs. She could do that too but with the wall sliding closed behind her, she really has no where to go.

Like the others, she has been brought out close to one of the walls, letting her get a good around her, seeing what look like deep pools or vats of some kind. While she cannot see what is inside, she has a pretty good idea.

Then Cobalt's voice rings out over the wide space, reaching her even through the thick walls of the tank. 'I see you all made it. Well, most of you.' she finshes, casting a quick smile towards Geri. 'But don't worry, I am not going to do anything to your teammate; her fate is sqaurely in your hands. Unfortunatley, i havent been down here in a while and it seems the passageway out of here is flooding with gunge as we speak. Gunge that must be drained before you can leave. Once the computer detects the leak has reached a certain level, pumps will activate automatically and drain the gunge into that chamber. To prevent that, you will have reactivate the primary pumps by collecting components scattered around this room. If installed correctly, Geri can just throw the lever and save herself. The only way to save your teammate is to reactivate the pumps that drain the gunge out of the corridor. To do that you must collect the components scattered around this room and install them into the panel in front of your teammates chamber.

Geri had been listening with growing concern as Cobalt continued, sitting bolt upright as she heard what she said. Her nerves have returned in full force, along with a tiny bit of the curiosity she felt when Cara had suggested she try the next game. But right now, her anxiety is winning out, just. It is the fact that she really cannot avoid the gunge that bothers her. Well, she could. But part of her doesn't want to, to trust in her team. And if she is honest, she is a little curious. She had been so wrapped up in her thoughts, that she didn't notice the game had started.

Luckily, her team had been more focused; Jenny having taken the lead in the search for the components they need to find, hoping to make a strong lead. The first thing that had caught her eyes were a collection of barrels in middle of the room and she figured they were a good place to start. She didnt even hesitate as she approached the first, grasping the lid and pulling it off. As she had expected, it was full of gunge. Aware of time counting down and not wanting to waste time, she plunged her arms into it. The liquid was instantly cool on her skin, feeling deviously wicked and she had to resist the urge to giggle.

She had expected to find the first component quickly, after all they were supposed to find them, right? But she didn't, her hands just brushing the sides. Since her arms were already soaked in gunge, she decided she might search the rest of the barrels. Cara had stayed tagging along, quickly joining in the search for the components with a similar frantic pace. A search that proved fruitless until Jenny rasied her paw triumphantly, splattering little drips of gunge around her; more dripping off the plastic square in her hand.

Amy had been having more luck, as keen at Jenny to find some components. She ignored the barrels, and the metal boxes lining the walls, turning her attention to a pile of what looked like scrap metal in one corner. She could easily see a component getting burried at the buttom of it. Working quicky, she starts to root around in it, digging through the junk. Turns out she was right. She cannot help grinning as she pulls aside a large piece of sheet metal. Amy had only pulled aside a few pieces of metal before she found what she had been looking for a few seconds before Jenny, taking both of them at once and racing back to install them.

Jenny has been moving back to the chamber at the same time, arriving a few seconds after the tiger. Sharing a look and seeing Jenny's gunge soaked paws, Amy takes the rabbit's component before kneeling down by the open panel trying to work out where they go while letting the rabbit girl rushes back to find more.

Having already searched the barrels with Cara, Jenny decides to go and check the boxes close to the barrels. From what she can see, Cara has already checked two and found nothing. But there are still more unopened. Cara is checking the right side, so she starts on the left. This box is different, though. Instead of a handle to open it, a small lever is fixed to the side. Pretty sure what it does, Jenny yanks it. She was half right. The box did open, the front dropping down. But nothing dropped from the ceiling. Not over her, anyway. Hearing a shriek behind her, Jenny turned to see Cara get hit by a splash of green gunge. The hampster wiped the gunge out of her eyes, her paw clutched trumphantly around another component. She must have found it in the box she had opened, Jenny reasons as Cara races to carry it to Amy, leaving her to keep searching.

Geri was starting to feel a little more confidant now. Her team had found three and just has to find one more. That couldn't be so hard, right? Amy is thinking the same, the tiger already having slotted two of the components into the circuit. It isn't actually proving that hard, just a matter of matching up the pattern of wires on the component to the wires around the gaps. So far, she is doing very well. She has filled the first and fourth holes, just leaving two more to go. Cara's arrival provides her with a sudden problem, Amy scrutenising it carefully. It just doesn't match up anywhere. Her eyes flicking from one gap to the next. It just doesn't fit.

'What's wrong?' Jenny runs up behind her, a component clutched in her paw.

'This one doesn't fit. Neither does this.' Amy says, taking a quick glance over the one Jenny had brought. 'I don't think. I'll try with these two. You guys see if you can find some more.'

Jenny can suddenly see what she has, the shapes are all slightly different. So they have to go and find the right ones. Cara and Jenny do just that, returning to the first room that Amy had started to check. This has to be where they are, since the tiger had only searched a little of it. The hampster and rabbit split up, taking a side of the room each. Jenny is checking out a pile of crates, pulling them open quickly, discarding the empty ones. At least most of them are empty, making it easy to know if she finds something.

Amy is checking out another of the piles of junk, sweeping it aside hastily, digging all the way down to the bottom. She is relying more of feel than sight to find what she is looking for, hoping to just feel her palm brush something plastic amoungst the metal. As she sweeps it away, she starts walking through it, kicking bits of metal aside and working deeper into the pile. Her haste meaning she quickly stumbles upon a surprise hidden under the metal. Cara has no warning, shrieking as the ground gives out under her, plunging the hampster into a waist deep pool of gunge, the thick black sludge clinging to her waist as she flounders for a few seconds. Her mind flashes back to gameshows she watched as a kitten, remembering that sometimes things in games were hidden in pools like this, so she frantically starts searching the pit, wading through it, arms burried in it like Jenny had done earlier.

In seconds that feel like minutes, Cara feels something brush her stomach, grabbing at it instinctively. Her paw comes up with not one but two components. The comment clasped in her paw, she turns to climb out of the pit. Then Jenny is there, holding out her paw which Cara grabs. Together the pair race back towards the rest of the team, hoping they are in time.

Geri's mind has been turning to the same thoughts since the game started. Her mind see sawing from anxious to relieved back to anxious again. Even know, she feels both of those emotions, her mind truely conflicted. They have to do this now, right. They are going to do this. So she just sits and waits, settling back into the chair. Fighting down a strange sense of dissapointment that leaves her more conflicted. Maybe she wanted to be gunged? Part of her certainly did.

'Oh, good. You got them.' That was Amy, her voice high pitched and exicited, making Geri turn her attention to back to her team.

'Yeah, here.' That is Jenny, her voice fast and nervous as well. 'Take that one out. Good. Then put that one in, then..'

Geri cannot look, her eyes screwed shut. She can only listen, waiting on the edge of her seat to see what will happen. 'Oh, that's good. So, which one do we go for?' Amy joins in, sounding just a bit calmer than the other two, but not much.

'Try that one.' Cara squeaks, clearly very nervous for Geri. 'Come on, come on. Hurry.'

So she waited, expecting to hear the beep as they correctly installed the third component. It didn't come, only silence filling her ears until Amy speaks again. 'Wait, how does this one go in?'

Geri sits bolt upright, heart pounding. No way. Will they not do it? She really doubts it; her mind now swinging between anxiety and excited anticipation. In a way she cannot tell the difference, her heart pounding in her chest.

'Okay, wait. I got it.' That is Jenny, her voice fast and nervous. 'Take that one out. Good. Then put that one in, then..'

'No, wait. That's not right.' That is Jenny, trying to keep her own cool for the sake of the team. But it is clear the time limit is getting to her as well. 'Let's try this. Put this one in first, then try...I..uh oh.'

A shrill buzzer rings out, a clear signal that time is up. And Geri knows what that means, dipping her head as the chamber starts to pulse with a yellow light, hearing the sharp buzzer. That quickly turns to a deep wailing klaxon. She is frozen, not sure if she should move or not, then she is out of time. Also torn between shrieking or laughing. She is caught completely off guard, suddenly drowned in the gunge that hits the top of her head, The Serval is enveloped with a thick splatter, the thin streams of blue and white instantly running together in an unceasing stream. Geri cannot get away from it, the heavy liquid swirling down her back and front, sticking to her fur and obliterating her hair from the first splurge. She shrieks, her shock and surprise overwhelming her. The heavy goo is warm like she had hoped but much thicker than she every had imagined, completely thick and smooth. It lasts much longer than any of the previous gungings had, pouring down over her for long seconds that stretch out into minutes. Or could have just been seconds. Whatever or however long it had been, the gunge is starting to fill the tank, the creamy purple and black gunk already lapping at her feet. Her legs disappearing beneath the constant deluge that inches higher and higher. Geri squirms in her seat, lifting one leg then the other, watching as it rises higher and higher.


Jenny has to bite back a sigh, watching entranced as Geri disappears under the rising goo and the torrent still blitzing her head. She is totally covered, her fur unrecognisable; all except for a few spots of her arms. And those aren't visible for much longer, the stream widening as if in one last effort to properly gunge her. How she would love to be gunged like that, the thought bringing an embarrising heat to her crotch. She hopes the others haven't noticed. But for thier own reasons, they too are watching the tank; Cara clasping her hands in a mirroring of Geri's earlier nerves while Amy grins delightedly, her face beaming from ear to ear.

Geri cannot see any of this, The heavy stream is still slathering Geri's torso in a relentless deluge of goo. Not just her torso but her legs too, the level of the gunge glooping higher and higher. Slipping suddenly under her shirt, slathering over her stomach as the press of the goo creeps up her body. Despite her nerves, she is giggling almost hysterically with relief. It doesn't feel anywhere near as horrible as she had feared. Yes, it's a bit wierd, unlike anything she has ever felt. Her giggles fade to softer chuckles, her anxiety sliding into relief. She is relieved it is over, wiping her face then her hands to try and clear them.

The tank over her head must be nearly empty, the gunge dripping to a halt. Geri is dripping too, completely smothered in the purple and black gunk. And yet she couldn't be happier, despite sitting nearly chest deep in it. She knows that she is grinning though. But she has just started to wonder how she wil get out of this tank when Colbalt answers her question. 'Well, It was a good try. Although I'm not sure Geri would agree. Still, you did manage to secure a further 150 points that will be added to your score. Which she may be more happy about. Now, you had better move onto the next sector. I will send your teammate to join you. I think you will need all the help you can get.'
