- Irovox
- Upon leaving, we are met with Voz Ricander
- “Found one.”
- “Good news and bad news. Are you rich?”
- Noooo
- “Then the best option is the one in an abandoned factory by Griffindustries. Its listed as missing, we can say we are retrieving it. Theyd accept it, the issue is the factory contains a lot of toxic sludge and is rumored to be haunted.”
- More haunted than the trash compactor?
- “Presumably. Those are things that are regularly expected to be there. Apparently ppl moved away after nightmares began.”
- “It comes from the most trustworthy of sources: small children who broke into it. They mightve exaggerated some things, but a child probably wouldnt exaggerate a battery.”
- “The building is located underground. As i’m sure you know, the planet… (points up) if youre underground youre less affected. Most heavy machines reside down there.”
- “It’s about an hours flight, if you wish.”
- “I understand if you need a few days. (looks at almado)”
- No hes fine (he is concussed)

- Giant gear stopped in place, safety locks enabled
- Above says “danger: electricity with safety locks enabled”
- Miku will
- Circuits moving in a dicelike machine, small invisible hands of fate bend and electrocute person inside
- Oh! One of the thinking torture devices
- Whatever’s inside capture tanks is dead, red light
- Standard aetherion corp protocol is to burn the info on them

- Magical bobblehead that lets him speak necril and one that makes him appear undead
- We’re the victim of a dread empathnid
- If one gets in a place of misery, they spread misery to people around them
- While young dont discriminate against the type of emotions they eat
- Not smart, no higher reasoning
- Go back to battery room
- Magnetic spider combat
- Miku sees xep in a blank office, staring at the ceiling, another form of him appears and shoot himself in the temple
- Ripley finds himself on a nice date with nivaya, attending classes together. He’s never been on these dates

- Turred leaves, passes by miku, ‘casually’ goes to the bathroom
- N: do you still wanna keep going on this trip?
- R: i mean. It seems interesting enough.
- N: we’ve been thru a lot. We can always go back. If this is too much

- N: thank you
- R: well ok. Figure out what we’re doing next.

- Bubbles “is that a cat?” @ ripley
- M: yeah good job!
- Al: WHO WAS MICROWAVING FISH AND TIN FOIL IN HERE
- X: oh yeah btw i have no idea who i’ve killed in the past
- Voz approaches “i have a plan for what each of us should do. You all are on the infiltration team ofc, i will be a humble ship captain requesting a battery (notably urs) when u get off the ship. This will bring u into the warehouse where u can escape before they discover you. I’d recommend to throw a grenade into it as you leave. Captain siryu will be able to smuggle you out with a van of some kind. And to get you on, i’ve discovered theres no one more distracting than turred. Simply put, does anyone have an id scanner on them?”
- “Who would you wish for turred to be? Biometrically.”
- X: anybody?
- “As long as you have the way to verify it.”
- Scans hand, shows up as almado
- Almado sucking up to turred
- As: how did u discover this ability?
- “I took an id scan of all of u to see if you have dna that degrades. U all do, thankfully, for now.”
- “You all are able to age in some sense.”
- (he did a Solara Imperium technique to check us, it proved that turred was blank.)
- He holds smth up in old elven, which says he is able to age, he ages rapidly. 1 year = 10. He will die in about 7 years
- Almado flinches
- Turred “what was that for =)”
- Al: good memory kid
- Ripley gets to cuddle turred
- “Youre holding on longer than almado”
- R: yeah bc i dont wanna hurt ur feelings
- “Why would they be hurt”
- R: idk. Ok im tapping out
- Vox “as u see hes very distracting, and he has the biometric scans to prove hes whoever. Scan in is scanning, scan out is only for battery. This could work.”
- Bubbles learns about music videos
- Bubbles can do 6th rank illusory scene
- Bubbles doesnt need to breathe
- Bubbles “do roadies die for the crew?”
- Miku: nooooo i dont think so. I dont want you to die
- Voz “try not to cause a ruckus, any bodies u find, throw them out the airlock”
- Downtime for upgrades
- Get into the battery
- (cars we need to go to will be 4, 5, or 6 cars worth of resistance)
- “You should move whenever the train is in the vanallen belt, which is 1.5 hours”
