There is a lot of damage, several passages collapsed, but several backup systems are still working and some paths remain useable. Some rooms survived relatively intact and are well illuminated, other places are little more than rubble and dirt in the darkness, most are somewhere in between, flickering lights illuminating broken walls and half-functioning machinery.
So far so good! I found Elle in a purple-code containment cell around here. We may confirm who's responsible for it soon.
: “Yes, I can feel traces of sister having been here, as well something else... Miss Stephanie, can't you feel it too?”
:"Ooooh, Silver Stephanie, why were you just hiding behind R0S-3774 out there? You're, like, the reason I became a scientist in the first place! And you're your future self! Tell me, have you managed to solve the photon-lacanium unification theory already?"
:“Yeah, not like Googanheek is just some lab slug who can't handle herself in a fight. Surprises me you would go all out of your way just for Ragol but it makes me happy you being here. So if nobody minds, my sword won’t be much good here, not a lot of space to swing it around. I’m switching to something more comfortable and better for this cramped place.”-Nei’s large blade dematerializes into photon particles, and in the next moment a set of claws forms on her left arm.
:”Ooohh, that’s esper craft, isn’t it?”
:“To be able to tell right away means you’re an esper too, been some time since I had a party with one. You look quite green though.”
:”Hahaha… I still have a lot to learn, but I will do my best to help defeat any evil lurking in Ragol. Ming-Yung taught me that we can’t just run forever from problems.”
: “An esper? But she's not on my database like Silver Stephanie! R0S-3774, you know those are to be quarantined on sight, right? Would’ve loved to see the circuit reactions of the other administrators when they learn about this!”
When you notice it, Aryk stayed behind at the entrance to the room, shaking a bit with an expression of fear in her face.
:”W-What are those?”
: “What, you never been in a bio-factory before?”
