open to Investigators

[leftbehindagain]

So, um. Now that the chaos has calmed down some - is everyone all right, by the way? - we could use a little help.

Naoto and Ambrose-san and I found a fortress. What we know right now is it's some kind of prison, and there are active containment traps in the halls. There might be something - or even someone - in it.

We could use some help figuring this out. If anyone's any good at disabling traps, or if you know someone from Blue or Green Team who is and can talk them into helping, we're in B10. It sounds like the options are to get a lot of people from Blue Team to scan the building all at once or go in and poke around, so we need the help either way.

For obvious reasons, we'd rather keep Red Team out of this as long as possible. Depending on what we find they might stick their noses in anyway, but the longer we can put that off, the better.

Hmm. I would have to investigate what sort of traps are in use but I could probably help out with that. If not personally, I do know some Cryptos that might be interested.

[leftbehindagain]

Any help we can get would be great.

[betrayedblade]

I'll speak with my associates and then head on over. Where is it exactly?

[leftbehindagain]

We're in B10 - it's a little bit past the Games stadium. You can't miss the fort once you get here.

[capital_asset]

If it's the structure I'm thinking of, it was most likely built to hold captured invaders - probably viruses.

[foreveralawn]

[wait, what, she knows that voice, what--]

RAIDOU?! Wh-Wh-Wh--is that you?!

[capital_asset]

[He'd really hoped to avoid something like this.]

...Yes.

[foreveralawn]

[Alas, the network does not care for who hears whose words.]

I d-didn't know that was possible...

[leftbehindagain]

You know something about it?

[capital_asset]

[His instincts as a Crypto - former Crypto - are warring with his need to impart information. It's not something he's had to deal with on a Jaunt before, and it's jarring.]

I don't know offhand who built it, but viral attacks predate the cataclysm that resulted in... in the Cryptos entering stasis.

[leftbehindagain]

Huh. [He doesn't press that angle too hard, for now.]

So basically, we need to be careful we don't disable everything if we decide to go in, just... enough to walk around the halls safely.

[amadine]

Sounds like you have some inside information.

[capital_asset]

[...maybe.]

Hello, Sabetha.

[foreveralawn]

[Despite the telepathic medium, Quinn's "voice" is noticeably faint, as if she's quite tired.]

Sorry, I think I n-need to take it easy this week... I d-don't know anything about traps anyway.

[leftbehindagain]

That's fine. Get some rest - I don't think Naoto's going to kick anyone out if they're still recovering.

[foreveralawn]

Maybe if there's an easy square... No f-fighting for a while, I think...

[amadine]

I have a knack for getting into places I'm not wanted - and getting the fuck out without getting dead, which might be more pertinent if some of the traps further in are less friendly.

[leftbehindagain]

That would be incredibly helpful.

[amadine]

It usually is.

You said B10? How many of you are there?

[notinthecards]

Love to help, frere. But at the moment I'm standing in the base of the big nightlight to your east. And we still have company.

[leftbehindagain]

By all means, take care of your company first.

[notinthecards]

We been working on that a week now.

[timelesssurprises]

Ohhh, what's this? This sounds like quite the surprise.

If you need a good blade I can help you guys look into this place.

[leftbehindagain]

We won't say no to an extra pair of hands. I think the priority, so to speak, is going to be for Blue Team to scan the building fully first, so that if anyone goes in we know exactly what we're dealing with. If you know any Miners you can talk into coming along, we could use another couple.

[timelesssurprises]

I'm associated with this 'MINTAKA' at the moment, name ring a bell? I have a sword so I can help anyone who needs an armed escort or if there's anything need cutting.
