FINAL TRIAL

"ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR STAY!!! :-)"

That's a message from Chirpy, as that group leaves the records room. Though really, there's not much time left; a fact impressed upon you regardless of whether you had a overly helpful bumbling robot or not.

Take some time to discuss what you've found and equip your new found loot in the open research lab. It's not a bad place for an impromptu meeting considering it's size.

Though sooner, rather than later, you'll need to head deeper still, to meet your two administrators, who surely know you're coming by now.

(( OOC: Welcome to Endgame! This is for all the bananas, so good luck! We'll give you 1 hour OOC to discuss your invest findings, and then it's onto the final confrontation. ))

EVIDENCE

[idologue]

[ Well, here they are. Once everyone has read their letters and equipped their various new gimmicks, it's time to go stand in a circle for a pre-fight huddle. Or... we're assuming it's a fight, probably. ]

We're going to need to be brief, but I think it'd be good to go over what all of us found. Let us take turns sharing our information - if that is alright?

LOOT

[chosenwang]

[ Linking it here ]

Looks like Merlin and the others sent us care packages.

holding cells

[necrotiem]

Alice's beast Athos seems to have been held down here. I found its fur and a smattering of blood in a cage in the impound area.

Given what evidence we have of what they do with living subjects [Zalkov's son] let's expect to face it again.

[She sounds a little put out - this could have been prevented, had she not hesitated when it jumped at her the last time!]

Robot Hangar Part 1

[idologue]

I had the opportunity to take a quick look around the hangar that houses the service robots. I don't believe that what I found out by accessing their maintenance stations is going to be particularly helpful, but...

The robots run on the 'Ailouros System', which is a service-oriented artificial intelligence. It's subordinate to the Kratos system.

It's mainly responsible for maintenance and records keeping and the likes... but the robots have recently been updated. Turning their head into these fishbowls went along with making them more linked up to the surveillance and defense systems.

Their integrity may be a little less stable for it, but they're more dangerous to us in that form.

... as many of us already experienced.

Records Archive

[dupiety]

The Records Archive was...to put it lightly, the worst record keeping system I have ever seen.

[That was not lightly.]

Fortunately, there was a caretaker robot to assist us. While we had to sift through some unnecessary information, we did find some hidden gems.

For example, the previous administrators of this island chose birds for their theme due to their nature aligning with their scientific vision. [He has the papers with him so he can just quote it directly:] "The board decided on naming the Horned Sungem (Heliactin bilophus) as the islands mascot, as it employs "hawking", the act of taking insects directly from their nests for sustenance. Similarly, one of the main goals of the project is to take those from other worlds to power our research."

I also discovered a bit of the nature behind those who visited this island prior to our arrival: "SP offers the best class in hospitality, entertainment, and relaxation. While many visitors pay to visit the island, others are the result of charity selections, in order to ensure a diverse spread for research."

it sounds as though this wasn't always a forced attendance for visitors.

[microtransactions]

Hm, yeah. They sure did, huh.

Think we should keep them with the people they were intended for, given... [ vague gesture. you know, the sentiment of the dead and all, ] or do you think it's okay to divvy them around a little bit?

[dupiety]

[This is nice to see for sure.]

I see they've been working hard.

[idologue]

We really are fortunate to have such caring back-up, hm?

[ Lacus is going to waste no time putting on the necklace she's been given... as well as taking Zelkov's ring out of her pocket and putting it on her finger.

She would not have presumed to try this on her own, but with explicit permission? She's going to need the extra power. ]

records archive

[diabolizes]

I asked for most recently pulled files, among a few other things. The most recently pulled imported file was about who received the most items from their multiuniverse—congratulations, Magolor. The most recently pulled local file was about Sungem's Peak itself, which had a note about yet another file named SP that Wang Lu will probably go into, since he saw it firsthand.

[ He crosses his arms. ]

I asked about IDs per Magolor's request, and was told all identification is biometric for security purposes... no other files on that. Baizhu requested I ask about Athos, and while Chirpy hadn't heard that name, I asked about the cages and was told that this test cycle housed two subjects and received the files for them.

[ He posted it to the network, but he'll show the photos for them now too. ]

[finalmix]

Not a fan of your gift, or?

[ this is a genuine question ]

Robot hangar part 2

[dancing_flames]

[Shuda will hold out the papers he found in the fishbowl bots.]

Found a couple of notes jammed into two of those robots in the robot hangar. One of them mentions the original natives of the islands and implies that they "blew themselves up" with their own technology-- in other words, our administrators are merely continuing with work that had already been started, from the sound of things.

And here's the really interesting part: "Space-time isn’t stable. From the way they talk, it might be a feature of the dimension. Ridiculous. How does this place exist?" That might be why they were all able to bring us here in the first place, since one of the other notes mentions programming and targeting multiversal coordinates.

[plunges]

I can confirm they are armed and more dangerous.

[ Don't ask. ]

We can defeat them if more show up, but they are troublesome to deal with.

[microtransactions]

No, I'm fine with it! I could probably do okay with it.

But I do remember someone else mentioning they would appreciate a crossbow, if anyone had one?

[ psyche? would medea like a gun? ]

[divector]

I couldn't find Athos after that trial, and Tomura said he doesn't know.

[ leaving him be might've been the worst choice after all. ]

Records Archieve The Third

[chosenwang]

Thanks to Ibuki, we got a look at the admin files. [ Will Smith post at Ibuki ]

Sungem's Peak isn't the actual name of the island. It's called Singularity Project or SP for short. [ Pausing a moment as he closes his eyes ] Singularity is defined as a point at which a function takes an infinite value, especially in space-time when matter is infinitely dense, as at the center of a black hole. Through the wonder of science they hope to...

[ Holding up a finger ] One! Navigate space-time, both in reaching into other multi-universes, establishing transport between them.

[ Holding TWO WHOLE FINGERS ] Two! Refine, condense, and hone power, both as an energy resource, and to further advance the human species.

Chirpy also knows all the gossip and details of our stay here.

[diabolizes]

[ He'll be slipping on the bracelet, pausing for a minute or two to read the notes he's received a few times over before eventually stuffing them into his robes. ]

It's been a while since I've handled a sword.

[ But he tests its weight, and how it handles. ]

[idologue]

... so we're dealing with Overhaul's personal project, huh?

[ She's not sure she likes that. ]

intake lab, cw gore

[plunges]

I was briefly at the intake lab but got pulled away to assist elsewhere. Afterwards, Haruka shared what he found with me: A log regarding something called LELANTOS, one about extracting individuals, one about three individuals' abilities, as well as files that he'd already discovered when he and Zelkov went behind the waterfall a few weeks ago.

[ He will provide summaries, WE ARE SHORT ON TIME so- ]

...He also saw some disturbing footage involving Shigaraki and Overhaul. Overhaul killed someone very quickly; she moved to attack him, and immediately got blown into pieces.

[ Yikes. ]

We need to be careful, when we confront them.

[idologue]

[ People should stop advancing the human species. Just a thought. ]

[chrysaline]

I did open the other cells to check, too. The files said there should have been a "humanoid" in there as well, but... all I found was a purple orb? So it seems like that Nomu might be free as well.

[divector]

He did say it was his forte.

[ sorry athos :( ]

[idologue]

... was that Miss Magne?

[ Because this sounds quite familiar. ]

holding cells pt 2

[solutionary]

We also found the kits for removing some kind of chip from our persons, like we spoke over the network about. I have the removed chips here, in case we require them.

I was thinking if they’re still being tracked we can confuse whoever’s monitoring them, by having someone with a chip carry them—- in essence being more than one person, and letting the Un-chipped Magalor, Psyche, and Temenos act as free agents.

[microtransactions]

[ i'll get magolor's half of lab info in a sec but also ]

... Every time we've seen him do something so far, he had to place a hand on it.

Did the same apply here?

[chosenwang]

[ Ah.... ]

That may have been the origin of the sample for the Nomu we crossed. The person with those abilities may have been kept in there at some point.
