TEST 7.
TIME. Seeing as it's probably not the best idea to kick down the front doors and immediately announce your presence to the entire base as a whole, a more delicate touch is probably what's needed here when it comes to infiltrating the base; the warehouses near the main building, then, seem to be an acceptable place to start looking for another entrance. It isn't difficult to find - the buildings are largely unlocked for the time being (possibly for ease of access, possibly because no one is capable of caring if they aren't locked right now) and enough exploration and shuffling boxes around will grant you access to a door at the back, leading to an underground passage seeming to lead you in the general direction of the main base. At the very least it's well-lit, the corridor leading to what seems to be a large basement that's both spacious and completely, unsettlingly devoid of people; there's no security posted down here, though it seems as though there really should be, and at the far side of the basement there's a staircase waiting for you, leading to a set of metal doors at the top that seem designed to slide open as soon as you approach them. Before you can do so, there's another one of those odd pulses, signaling that another temporal disturbance has occurred; nothing looks different down here, however... |

[She doesn't like it, but it's true. What's in the past is in the past.]
no subject
Um...are you sure you're gonna be fine?
[she sounded like she was trying tho convince herself back there.]
no subject
I will, dear; it's simply a bit jarring to see one so young in such a position. You have my thanks for your concern, but I will be fine.
[Camilla at the very least gives him a smile, though it's soft. There's not much else of a choice, after all.]
no subject
Cyrus is with him.
Saturn is talking to him, his voice even but slightly odd, as though he's not particularly thrilled about what he's saying; he's also far more businesslike than he's ever been with the lot of you.
"...So if we could modify the Red Chain technology to shackle not only those we're after, but beings with spirit as a whole, I think the effects will be more permanent."
Cyrus seems to consider for a moment before gesturing vaguely, though not dismissively. "Do as you see fit. If it can be done as you claim... I have no doubt you can manage to carry it out."
no subject
...So this "Chain" is what he's using, is it? Perhaps that's something we'll need to find a way to break.
[She's pointedly not acknowledging Saturn's tone, though she's definitely not ignoring it if the less than thrilled look on her own face is any indication.]
How utterly ghastly.
no subject
There's another shock that hits, spaced out noticeably closer to the last than they have been; the final thing you're going to see in here is that the machines containing the Lake Guardians are gone, replaced instead with things that are far larger and more elaborate. They're like nothing else in this base, really - it's difficult to say what they're used for at first glance, but it's incredibly obvious from their size that they could easily be used on people, and there are a lot of them.
...Given the previous conversation and things Saturn has discussed with you guys before, it's likely not difficult to work out what these likely are.]
no subject
no subject
(no really go for it)]
no subject
no subject
Yes, you are. Because you can actually touch the things without it feeling weird!
Presumably we're now again.]
no subject
[........
oh my god he really is gonna leave a bunch of spite smudges before he moves out, here he goes]
no subject
That said, you might want to go meet up with your friends that went the other way eventually, once you're done smearing up the machines.]
no subject
Let's go get the others. We can come back and deal with these, I just wanna make sure they're still...now.
no subject
[To the others!]
no subject
Oh dear fucking gods, that certainly explains a lot, now doesn't it.
...Camilla's going to try to take a closer look at these--are there like, actually people in here right now? Are we just looking at the incubation of a million soulless freaks?]
no subject
no subject
...Was in there.
...Gods this is a mess.
Camilla is actually going to try to get a closer look at what's going on here--she's utterly technologically inept, really, but she's kind of just looking to see where shit's connected, and in really simple terms, if the chain is incorporated into this...thing, somehow.
...Let's be honest she's rolling a nat 1 on perception because this shit is weird, but she's. Trying.]
no subject
Anyway.
There doesn't seem to be anything of particular note like that around here, though you can get a good look at the veritable cable spaghetti that likely doesn't mean much to you. Um. God, I'm sorry.]
no subject
Either way, that. That sure is a fuckton of cable sphagetti, dear god. She wishes she had her axe with her so she could cut it? Maybe that'd do something. Or get Arion to chew on it or just. Something.
Either way, fuck the future (or in this world's case, present) with prejudice seems to be the point of this, she's just gonna exit out with Michael.]
no subject
[Michael trails off, cocking his head.]
Lucian. And the others like him. Test subjects, maybe...
no subject
[Fuck this shit? Fuck this shit.]
