You are an inspiration. Okay, what do you want? Coffee, tea, water, hot water, cold water, hot soda, plant juices, animal juices, we've got a pretty good stock.


Coffee sounds good right now.

Good ol' bean juice, coming right up.
*Pulls a manual grinder from the shelf of an intricate and well-maintained coffee bar and measures out beans by the gram, then pours them into the grinder and starts rotating the crank*
I heard you met the kids yesterday.

Oh yeah, it's huge! We could be here for days just searching from one room to the next to the next to the next to the...


I understand. One moment.

While you're doing that, I'm gonna see if my agent knows anyone who might know where to go.

*Looks over by shifting only my eyes for a few seconds, then back down at my wrist*
They sound nice.
*Looks up from my wrist, and starts to saunter toward the back of the alley, hopping a counter to take a look at a computer terminal*

Uh huh. Uh huh. Okay. I'll let you know. Sure sure, take an early lunch. Ciao.
*Folds the device into a small brick and puts it into my pocket*
The good news is, if this is an emergency, I can help us speed things up. The bad news is, we really don't have the budget for it right now. So unless it's really important, I'll let you do your thing.

I don’t see any reason to call this an emergency. We’ve got protests lined up on Phiaxes, and eventually some very angry men will come rolling through here, but I don’t think that qualifies as an emergency.
*Several instances of a buzzing sound approach the door to the bowling alley, pass us, and move further down the hall*

Protests? Because of this thing?
*Cranes my neck to the side and back when the buzzing approaches*
Oh great, and now we have bees?

Drones. Not exactly spiders, but I think they work just as well for what you were asking.
*Stares at something on the screen for several seconds before tapping a key a few times and hopping back over, heading for the door*
And yes, people are protesting. Hundreds die, and they want to blame Cerberus. Cerberus assures they’ve taken action enough internally, but that the blame is on this group for the tragedy.

And we need the footage to prove things one way or the other, huh? Okay, that we can totally do!

It’s a twofold goal. Prove definitively that you guys were not the problem, and show us what really happened. I’m hoping for something incriminating to Cerberus.

Why's that? You two not on the best of terms?

Call me biased, but I like you guys more.
*You peek into a small bathroom*
For the most part, it seems this level is filled with various living and recreational facilities. We have an elevator at the far end, though.

*Several seconds later I exit out of an unconnected room a few steps down the hall*
I think the clear and obvious answer here is to split up!

*Gazes at you as I walk, betraying just enough of an expressional shift to acknowledge the oddity, but stays composed*
You think so? The bit here near the top of the mountain isn’t crazy expansive. Not sure where you’ll go.

Fair enough. I’m hoping the floors might be labeled in the elevator in a descriptive enough fashion.
*A mild buzz approaches from the other side of a wall, and a drone stops and shines a blue light at you from inside a vent for a second before moving on*

Aww, don't scare me like that little guy.

Trying to see if the ventilation has connections to other floors.

I think we never considered one of the most obvious possibilities. What if this place is haunted?
