  OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!

  (from here)

  
  

  Alan is curious about whether he'll have access to alcohol.

  
  

  "Well, I hope we'll get along well, Mr. Powers. By the way, about my accommodations. Is alcohol allowed on the Ring?"
  
  Powers smiles and nods. "Yeah. The way it works is that when you're off-duty, the dispenser in your room, which is hooked up to a central distribution system for the South Tower, will accept alcohol orders. That way, you can have it when you're off-duty, but nobody can get drunk on-duty. It's a pretty nice system."

  
  

  Alan...

  
  

  ...jokes around a bit, then asks where everything is.

  I started a branch that may lead to unexpected consequences for even INUH?

  Hoo boy, three new segments to write.

  
  

  I was right; this is going to be quite an endeavor.

  
  

  And that's a good thing

  Alan goes for the balls.

  
  

  He grabs Powers by them and squeezes. Sadly, his hand lands on what he quickly recognizes as a cup. Evidently, being in the security business involves being prepared for a fight.

  
  

  As Alan struggles underwater, the world begins to blur as he loses consciousness...

  
  

  END OF BRANCH

  Excellent.

  
  

  Also, if you ever feel like taking a break, I'm willing to continue for ya (With you advising)

  
  

  Just as an offer.

  Alan goes for the head.

  
  

  He's not the strongest man, but he's pretty smart. He knows that the softer parts of the skull are on the side. So he grabs Powers by the neck and slams his head sideways against the Yggdrasil as hard as he can. Adrenaline proves quite helpful, and he immediately feels the grip on his shoulders loosen.

  
  Alan comes back up for air, then considers his situation. Powers is floating face-down in the water. He seems unconscious.

  
  

  Alan...

  
  

  ...looks through Powers' pockets.

  
  

  ...drowns Powers.

  
  

  ...decides to take Powers' boat most of the way to shore and use it as a decoy.

  Thanks, but I'd like to try to do as much of this as I can.

  
  

  If it ever gets completely ridiculous, though, I'll consider it.

  Alan looks through Powers' pockets.

  
  

  He finds a wet pistol with no bullets left, an ID card of some sort and a six-inch knife.

  
  

  Alan...

  
  

  ...slits Powers' throat.

  
  

  ...saves Powers.

  Alan drowns Powers.

  
  

  It's hard to tell how long it takes, because Powers is already unconscious, but he gives it a couple of minutes. That should be good enough.

  
  

  Alan...

  
  

  ...drowns Powers further, just to be sure.

  Alan slits powers' throat.
  

  
  

  As Alan cuts Powers' carotid artery, red pours out, mixing with the salty water. Alan is going to need new clothes.

  
  

  Alan...

  
  

  ...climbs onto the boat and cuts communications.

  Alan saves Powers.

  
  

  He climbs onto the Yggdrasil, then lifts Powers after him. He's heavy, but Alan's up to the task.

  
  

  The captain is staring, wide-eyed.

  
  

  Alan...

  
  

  ...asks the captain to help Powers.

  Alan asks the captain to help Powers.

  
  

  "Hey, um...captain. After we get back to the mainland, you should get this guy to a hospital or something."

  
  

  The captain waves his arms. "Whoa, no. I'm not going to be the man who helped the terrorist out. I'll get this guy help, but I'm not carrying you back to the mainland if I can avoid it."

  
  

  Alan...

  
  

  ...protests being called a terrorist.

  
  

  ...threatens the captain with the gun.

  Alan jokes around a bit, then asks where everything is.

  
  

  "Oh, the people working here are smart. I'm sure someone's found a way to get drunk on duty."
  
  Powers laughs. "Well, if so, nobody's told me about it."

  
  

  "By the way," Alan adds, "where is...well, everything?"

  
  

  "Right," says Powers. "Can't have you getting lost. Well, each tower has a security level, an observation level and a maintenance level. Besides that, the West Tower here is for arrivals, both people and cargo, the North Tower is agriculture, the South Tower is residence and the East Tower is administration. You can figure out the details later. Ready to head inside?"

  
  

  Alan...

  
  

  ...heads inside.

  Alan climbs onto the boat and cuts communications.

  
  

  As soon as he's on the boat, he walks over to the captain's seat, grabs the radio handset and cuts the cord...wait, no, it's wireless. He throws it overboard instead.

  
  

  "Right. I'm in a bit of a tight spot and I'm armed, so I'm just going to have to ask you to drop me off at some point on the mainland. Preferably not one that's heavily settled. Okay?"
  
  The captain, too frightened to speak, nods and sets off for land.

  
  

  Alan...

  
  

  ...watches the captain closely.

  Alan protests being called a terrorist.

  
  

  "Wait, what? I'm not a terrorist...I was just defending myself. What else was I supposed to do?"
  
  The captain isn't convinced. "Well, when you take a boat over to the most secure facility on the planet, start acting suspiciously and take out their head of security, what do you expect people to think?"

  
  

  Alan...

  
  

  ...maintains that he's not a terrorist, but decides to threaten the captain anyway.

  
  

  ...tries his best to convince the captain.

  "Look, call me what you want, but you don't have much choice in the matter. Take me to shore. Now."
  
  The captain is unimpressed. "You know, I was here when Powers there used up all the bullets in the gun. I didn't just vanish or something."

  Try your best to convince the captain that you aren't a terrorist

  
  

  Maintain that you aren't a terrorist, but that you might have to do something drastic if he doesn't help you get to the mainland, motioning to Power's unconscious body

  Quite. It seems I keep underestimating my readers.

  
  

  I've got to go do stuff, though. Feel free to keep posting suggestions until I'm back, though.
