*nods*
I would like to see the village, but being outside in nature will be fulfilling enough.

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Nice try, but you're not getting any plots from me, nope.
*Bends my index fingers against my temples*
My mind is like a steel trap, resistant to all sorts of manipulation.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

I don't put anything past them at this point!

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

*My sunglasses slide down my nose*
Wait really how?

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Metal can actually be sweet!

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Alright.
*walks over and places the helix into the slot*

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Well-

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

*Nothing happens for several seconds, but after a long silence, you can hear a loud whirring behind the walls, as the electronics around us suddenly power on. A metallic latch seals shut over the cylinders’ slots, and the terminals power on simultaneously to the emergency lights around us shutting off, and loud mechanisms banging around in the walls by the door*

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Because you manipulate yourself?

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

We're gonna diiiiiiiiie!

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

This is an attempt to manipulate me. Lucky for me, I see through your tricks.
*Crosses my arms and nods with a satisfied expression*
I'm wise to your schemes, Shadow Operator.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*After the terminals take a second to boot up, they force display on their screens “Local Power Mode. Estimated Time Before Shutoff: 00:02:14:38”, and the metallic door in our path slowly starts to slide open*

<Snipped quote by Extra>

What are you hoping to find in the village, if you go?

<Snipped quote by Session>

Change of scenery.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Ooh!
*Runs up to the door and holds my face up to it to peer through early with one eye*

<Snipped quote by Extra>

Is that really all?

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Timed event. Huh. Mom mentioned dungeons like these.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

You got me.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*The door ahead opens up to a sleek looking hallway that matches the color scheme of the room we stand in, and scattered about its floors are the parts of what used to be robots of some kind, now torn to shreds*

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Maybe we can find a more reliable source of power down here. Or a security station, so we can get out before anyone gets hurt.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*grabs a large part*
What were these?

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Well, if the doors close, I can either bust us out or eat a hole to escape.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Not really, I don’t know what I am really looking for, but I don’t want to be holed up in the guest room. Not that it is not a nice room, I think aome outside interaction would benefit me.

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Robots, it looks like.
*Scans the scattered parts around us*
Working drones, probably. I see no sign of weaponry.

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

*Claps*
Woo! So about that agenting...

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*Gasps*
I saw this in a movie once! They tore each other apart trying to escape. But that means only the most powerful one is left...
*Hunches into a ready pose and cuts my eyes to each side*

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*takes a bite out the one I’m holding*
Quality stuff.

<Snipped quote by Extra>

You want to meet people, then? What a request.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

If this is a robot uprising, I think that might be a best case scenario for whatever caused this.

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

…
I guess they aren’t using it anymore.
