Event: No Such Thing; Part Two

No Such Thing

As the day wears on, the ringing is getting worse. Louder, to the point it's starting to obstruct hearing. You'll have to ask people to repeat themselves fairly often, even if they're speaking at a normal volume. The tablets are working again, a little--they flicker on and off, providing occasional, unstable access to the network. The tablets are running so low on power that only text is available, and viewing or listening to audio/video posts is a dicey prospect. Opening any application besides the network drains too much power; the tablet shuts off immediately. For those who had access on infected tablets, Shadownet is still unavailable to you. More worrisome is what you hear in the ringing in your ears. It's a voice, male. At first, it's too low to hear, but as the ringing gets worse the voice gets louder, and then you know who it is: It's Robert Miller. "--ing to--orrow--ay cal--or don't." It repeats over and over.

Can characters trap themselves in a lethal cycle via the dizziness, such as walking through the bunker’s entrance area multiple times as they try repeatedly to get out to die by exposure? Or will this be memorized to eventually prevent them from leaving their safe room at all?

[snowblindmods]

They'll eventually be forced into a safe area and not allowed to leave.

Haha no luck for anyone paranoid like that.

Anything stop them from incapacitating or asking someone else to incapacitate them, or can they get themselves tied up without trouble?

[snowblindmods]

They can get themselves tied up or otherwise incapacitated, but not somewhere that would kill them to stick around in (that would be interpreted as murder).
