When: OOC: 11/17, IC: 4/8

Rating/Warning: PG-13: Some violence, injuries and possible death.

▶ 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! ]

[ 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! ]

[Hinata is slowly looking around as they enter. Listen. Give him a minute here, he got hit on the head and is still bleeding from a gash that caused on his forehead.

But eventually...]

They just put a bunch of crap in us...?

[sasuga ceres]

_{[ By now, Elizabeth has gotten Katsura on his back— he's a pretty big and burly guy underneath that sheet! Carrying Katsura like this is no problem— and Zura seems to merely burrow his face into Elizabeth, occasionally peering out at the scenery. ]}

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. ]}

[Hinata, being Hinata, barely even bats an eye at that. Destruction? No big deal. They've been tossing bombs left and right in here already. And Haven taught him that destruction = effective.]

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.]

[ Well, Hinata's going to trigger the last surprise the tower has for them -- unfortunately. As soon as he crosses what seems to be an invisible line into that area, he'll have just a few seconds to grab a few things before the floor drops out from under both him and Elizabeth. They will all fall for an unfortunately long time --

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! ]
