▶ ACTION.EXE | IC: 4/8
[ Entering the CERES research tower will be somewhat easier than expected.
There are no armed guards that will stop anyone if they come in through the front doors (or the side doors, or any doors) and regardless of which doors they choose, there will be a desk, behind which sits a robot receptionist. If they come in through a window, there will be a robot receptionist. No matter how they break in, the receptionist is there.
Weird.
If you talk to the robot receptionist, he will give you a pamphet. It is titled CERES and You: How to Live a Fulfilling Life With CERES. Now doesn't that sound like fun reading.
After a rousing game of rock, paper, scissors (unless you really want to play Uno in the lobby), it's decided. One group will go left. One group will go right.
There are unassuming doors on each side. Time to go! ]

I believe—! The only way we could get in there is to blow it open. [ yes, we're bomb-happy here, it seems. Though, it's obvious they are in no condition to let a bomb just fly free willy-nilly, to Katsura begins to back up, trying to coax the robots back to the room and staircase he originally was at.
Hooray for more property destruction! ]
If you adjust the knob on the side of the bomb, it will lighten the explosion to a smaller one. Ah, you know.. like an egg timer.
[ ??? ]
That can be useful in this case so we don't get injured but there is a hole in the door--!
no subject
[A bomb isn't anything like an egg timer though, oi—]
Five seconds, Katsura, and I'm throwing it! [He's twisting the knob on the side of the bomb, clenching it in his hand. He's counting down in his head, watching Katsura closely just to make sure he's heard him before he goes to CHUCK THE THING.]
no subject
Hinata CHUCKS THE THING, but at the same time, one of the robots fires its gun (well, they've all been firing their guns), but this one happens to hit said bomb mid-air.
The explosion is a bit closer than either Hinata or Katsura probably could have wanted, but it also means that the bomb explodes more closely to the ceiling -- which brings the entire ceiling of that hallway down on them. Thankfully, it also brings it down on the robots; when the explosion and subsequent disastrous debris falling finally settles (as well as the dust), everything is silent.
The robots have been crushed, and the door has been exploded open. The pathway to them is now entirely open.
However, Hinata and Katsura haven't escaped unscathed either. Katsura will have to deal with a rather large piece of ceiling pinning his leg, crushing it beneath it. Hinata will have been hit in the head by a large piece of rubble; while he may be conscious still, he will definitely be dizzy and find it hard to focus.
But if they can find a way to carry on, they're almost to their goal. ]
no subject
Any sorts of screams that Katsura may have let out have drawn silent as the dust begins to disappear. Well done, at least there are no robots? Let's think of the positives here. Katsura shifts underneath some light rubble and tries to push himself up so he can escape but— everything hurts there on his right leg. In fact, he's weak enough to where he is stuck for the time being— about he manages to call out Hinata's name: ]
Hinata-dono!
[ a bit of hacking from this dusty air, jfc.. ]
Are you alright..!?
no subject
Chumps who haven't gotten enough things messing around with their brain, apparently. Hinata can feel blood dripping down his face past the haze of dizziness that's overwhelming him. He doesn't respond to Katsura for a long moment, two, a minute...]
—ngh.
[Focus, Hajime. He does, very slowly. Enough so that he can gradually push himself off of the floor.] Katsura? [He's going to just unsteadily make his way in that direction. Ah... There he is.
Blinking, he squints, but Katsura breaks into twos and that's just awful so he has to shut his eyes briefly, lowering to rest heavily on one knee until he finds it a little easier to move.]
no subject
He'll call out, again, this time sounding a bit weaker: ]
Hinata-dono. The door is open.
If you can, investigate. If you cannot..
[ what are we to do now. ]
Assist me.
[ ... ]
We should escape.
[ Are you going to allow him to say that after coming so far? Katsura was brave, indeed, but-- his title showed he had a reputation for running away from battles.
There's a bit of crumbling, and, up and behind Katsura is Elizabeth, lifting the ceiling just enough where Zura can pull free if he desires to. Katsura does manage to wiggle himself out of the debris by using his good leg and lies there rather helplessly on his back, wearing a few other miscellaneous bruises.
What do you say, Hinata? Head back and go through that open door? ]
no subject
[Hinata breathes deeply. He opens his eyes again very slowly, looking up and seeming surprised that Elizabeth is there. He didn't even notice where he came from. Gathering his strength, he stands, keep himself from tottering. Then he approaches Katsura.]
Come on... You can help us out, right? [--to Elizabeth, as he leans down on the side with Katsura's good leg, offering him his shoulder and arm.] We'll get the hell out of here after we've investigated. Together.
[Now that he can focus a little (not a lot) better, the pain is beginning to set in. A persistent throbbing through his whole head, like something is hitting it over and over.
Tch. Whatever. He's not giving up here.]
If you really can't go, I'll go check it out by myself, but...
no subject
Who does Hinata think he is? Oh, wait. Protag status. Katsura nearly forgot.
Seeing as his leg is downright crushed, him standing on his own is impossible. Rivers of fresh blood were seeping out of various cracks in his flesh, a few shards of bone sticking out.
Eli drops debris once Zura is safely out of the way, and goes around to the othe side of Katsura, also hoisting him up. Katsura can stand, on his good leg, but the right one seems lifeless right now. His breath is unstable, but his demeanor is strong and collected.
Hinata sounded so determined. It seemed to give Katsura a boost, too. ]
.. You're right. Let's .. — [ god, it was hard to talk. ]
Let's proceed forward.
[ This was spoken— yes, spoken vocally, by Elizabeth... who carries a pretty masculine voice, despite his feminine name.
Thanks for finishing his sentence, buddy.
Onward they go into the mysterious open door— carefully.
How stubborn are they, exactly..? ]
▶ FINAL CHECKPOINT.SAV
. . . CONTINUING RAID.EXE. . .
[ And what they find with their protagonist-levels of determination is...
Well, it's a room full of junk.
There's a terminal not far from the entrance to the room, but the machinery running it has clearly been damaged by the explosion; there's nothing more than an ERROR message flashing on the screen.
But they don't need the terminal to realize what this place is, because there are handy dandy labels. The room is massive, much like a warehouse, and along the neat rows of junk are labels.
Labels like Ocular Implants and CereVice Upgrades and Transmitters. In fact, it seems as though CERES imports all of this shoddy tech from somewhere else, and then just dumps it in here until it'll be of any use.
This is what they stick into your bodies.
Congrats! ]
no subject
But eventually...]
They just put a bunch of crap in us...?
[sasuga ceres]
no subject
We should take what we can.
And destroy the place.
[ Of course Elizabeth would say that. Of course.
They both cannot help but feel like they want to run away— that's what these two usually do.
Cause a big mess then amscray. ]
no subject
Yeah. Just wait there, you guys.
[But first, give Hinata a moment— he's going to go to (totter over to first) dig into these boxes and take several things.]
no subject
Until they are ejected into the dumpsters sitting outside of the CERES research tower. Ew, gross.
The pieces Hinata has managed to take will be one (1) ocular implant, unactivated, one (1) transmitting device, about as small as a dime, unactivated, and one (1) unicorn figurine. Why was that there? Nobody knows.
Hinata's blow to the head has definitely manifested in a bad concussion; he will need some time to recover before he is back to normal, as well as the gunshot wounds. Katsura will have badly broken his femur, as well as his tibula and fibula. He will need some time as well to recover from those injuries, if he is able to get them fixed promptly. Naturally, the robot doctors at the hospital will offer to replace his leg with a metal one, because they are quite fond of that sort of thing.
Further information will likely be able to be recovered from the pieces Hinata took (except maybe from the unicorn), if examined by a skilled hacker.
Thanks for raiding with CERESTower, CERES hopes your injuries are long-lasting and painful! ]
