Blimey. Eight connected locations, three of which are undiscovered and none of which are the location we came from, and 10 points of interest!
This is going to knock everything we've done so far into a cocked hat. I better get a bigger notebook!

I fear the slight warmth mentioned here is going to force us to discard the Mexican costume some time soon, or else we will die suddenly and violently from slight warmth, as you do. We could keep the poncho on and remove the ambulance uniform. The sombrero will protect us from the sun. Edit: not serious suggestions. |

Not sure if we're waiting on Martin's inspect command to be filled. I think the only lead we have here is the "get to the city, find the Russian, Mr. K. He can help plan out your future moves. Remember, you are his equal" from the note we're still carrying. We had the possibility that was a reference to the Headmaster Kreb because he went by the name Mr K in the story Cash and Carnage, but he was Nebulan, not Russian.

INSPECT the ornate building covered in posters, the conference centre and the gaming arcade.
The ornate building appears to have some kind religious significance, people in different types of garb come and go at irregular intervals. The buildings carvings are far from consistent, grouped in apparent different themes and artistic styles. The posters seem to be advertising different churches entirely, each with their own specific symbol and name.
There's a sign by the door.
The conference centre is much more run of the mill however, a solid monolith homage to early 70s with many nondescript features that are not worth putting to paper in description. A man stands by the double entrance door seemingly asking people questions before they enter, during which he interacts with his handheld computer. There's a large banner over the door, but it does nothing to improve the appearance of the building. You notice a path round to the side of the building.
Location discovered: Conference centre rear (+1 point)
The gaming arcade is all lights and sounds, seemingly an attraction for families and groups of children. The window display is advertising various toys and games, each detailed with a price.

Think I'm going to have to draw a map for this. Exciting! I notice we've had a patch as this area has gone up to 16 linked locations and 14 POI, some of which we've now seen. It's going to take us all week just to look at everything!
Blueshift wants to look in the church, so let's do that. I think we'll need something to get in the conference centre past the doorman. Let's hope it's a Transformers con.

You enter the church
New location: Multichurch (+3 points)
the main foyer is seemingly a long corridor with what appear to be booths off from the left and right, each with its own arcane symbology. Some seem to make sense however, almost facelike. Then you see the same symbol as on the security officer's badge that he showed you, it would seem he is not alone. Another looks like a simple face surrounded by an almost octagonal helmet, the left and right flat edges of which have repeated internal horizontal lines, the top indented with ridges. If it is a face, the eyes are red, with faint lines running down through the cheeks, the mouth in a smirk.
Outside one of the other booths is a kindly looking man, his face slightly forlorn.
To your left as you walk in is a leaflet stand, many leaflets with prominent logos matching those on specific booths.

"YOU HEATHEN! WHAT GOOD IS THAT TO US, GO BACK TO YOUR OWN BOOTH!"
He gives you a weak, almost frail, push across the corridor. "WE CAN NOT USE THAT AS A DONUTION HERE!! BEGONE FOUL BEAST!!"

Across the corridor you see a broken booth, the emblem barely recognisable from damage. A curtain hanging from a rail and remnants of a shrine that no longer services its intended function, molten pictures and action figure parts lay about. It seems you are meant to think this is some random act, but these blast points, too accurate for vandals, only trained soldiers are so precise.

Starting to process info but there is so much going on we need to be methodical so we don't miss anything.
Inside the church we have 4 POI:
1. Forlorn old man - who is ranting at us, either because we're dressed as a Mexican or because we're showing him the Prowl, which is a religion is isn't happy with because it isn't his technochurch. Probably that. He wants Donutions for his church, which I guess means we need some donuts from the fast food outlet to get something out of him.
2. Leaflet stand - we don't need to read the leaflets it seems, but we haven't tried to take any.
3. Church of Prowl Booth - in disrepair, evidently has been deliberately attacked in such a way that we're supposed to think it's random vandalism. Taking things from this booth results in death by blast door.
So we're missing a POI.
This:
"Another looks like a simple face surrounded by an almost octagonal helmet, the left and right flat edges of which have repeated internal horizontal lines, the top indented with ridges. If it is a face, the eyes are red, with faint lines running down through the cheeks, the mouth in a smirk."
Sounds like the Autobot symbol to me. But why have that and a separate Prowl church if the one we've been looking at has the same symbol on it that the security guard had on his secret badge. Maybe the church of Prowl is a splinter church?
Let's make sure we've looked at everything in here before moving on.
Other thoughts - we're after Mr K, who I'm suggesting is Kasparov because of the chess connection, and there's a mind sports olympiad in the conference centre. Initial guess is that he's in there competing, and we won't be able to get in because the guard on the front won't let us through the door, so because we know there is an area behind the centre we might be able to sneak in round the back.
More thinking! I am actually drawing a map so I don't miss items/locations!
