Week 4

[lockdownmods]

[ It's now Week 4 at Fayflower University. With the new week comes another memory, and a new floor to explore. That's nice, after everything, right? Right, of course it is.

However, other things have changed besides the floor access. The wall has always been a point of contention after the fiasco in week one. And then the frog, and now the investigation. However, going within three feet of the wall is oppressive now, in feeling. It feels as though you're being watched-- and targeted for something.

Be careful~]

I don't know. Were you here- was it locked yesterday?

[ She's cursing herself for being in such a funk, she could've explored and-- ]

We- we could ask Han. Get him to come, open it up. If it's for Connor, surely--!

[donotlick]

I didn't -- I didn't check, when I was here yesterday...!

[ He's cursing himself now, too. He'd been looking for somewhere quiet, somewhere out of the way... ]

Yeah. Yeah, I mean -- Han's gotta be looking for him, too. Fuck, if he's in here... why would it be fucking locked? What the hell is this?!

[throwabookatit]

I don't know, we're allowed- anywhere, aren't we? Here. Here, I'll message him, just keep...trying.

[ Tapping on her tablet, here we go. ]

[donotlick]

[ Hank's sure as fuck gonna keep trying this door, even giving the doorknob a good kick just to see if that does it. ]

Fuck, why is this one door so fucking thick!? Come on!

[foo_bar]

[well once Becca lets him know, he definitely comes with his own set of keys. He has a lot of keys. But he knows the one that goes to the Robotics Lab, and that's all that matters.]

Sorry I'm late.

[throwabookatit]

There you are- it's fine, just- it's the last place we need to look that we even can.

[donotlick]

Yeah, it's-- if he's nowhere else, he's gotta be in here, right?!

[ Hank's so distressed, please find Connor. Please...!!! ]

[foo_bar]

[look! look! he's opening the door.

Inside the dark room, there are still the same robots held by machines, signifying their almost complete-ness. Still the same tables with precision tools and tiny robot parts.

But they are greeted with chirping, almost distressed chirping. A tiny red bird hops up and down on a table, sizing up the people in front of her.]

You are not Mistress.

[the bird says before giving one last hop-- and then flying past them, out the door.

there is nothing else there.]

[throwabookatit]

Wha... Of bloody- get back here, you flapping- ugh!

[ But Connor's...not here. ]

Where...is he? [ She turns to Han. ] Your superiors, they have to actually do something about this, don't they?!

[donotlick]

Fuck!!

[ Hank freaks the fuck out as the bird flies past him. He is so done with all of this. With Connor disappearing. With not having any clue where he went or this whole fucking place being a giant death trap.

He's not even going to protect Han from Rebecca at this point because he, too, wants to know if Han's bosses have something to do with this. ]

Han. If he's here... he can't have just fucking disappeared!

[foo_bar]

I contacted Oswald, but he hasn't responded.

[because the fucking idiot chose today of all days to crash into bed.]

And I can't find Megumi.

[though technically... he's supposed to be her boss. but. hah ha ha.

no one would believe that now.]

[throwabookatit]

Then go higher than Hale. You have to have some way to contact them. If we're important to them, this should send someone running, shouldn't it?

[ She's not like. Yelling at him at least? Just more urgent. ]

[foo_bar]

Unfortunately, I'm not exactly "admin." I'm just a professor.

[he says with only the slightest hint of annoyance.]

I'm working on this from another angle, but it's going to take more time than I'd like.

[donotlick]

Isn't Megumi an android? What do you mean, you can't find her? They can't both just go off the grid!

[ Hey, Hank is totally here for what Rebecca's saying. Wow, she's awesome. And she's way more put together than Hank is right now, so... ]

What other angles are there?

[foo_bar]

She's an android, but she's got access to other areas, like me.

[he looks a little apologetic]

Right, I'm not being very helpful, eh? I'm working from another angle, to see if I can reach over Hale. But it's going to take time.

[throwabookatit]

And what'll we do in the meantime? Just...hope he shows up? Where could he have even bloody gone to?!

[ Rebecca just. turns to a table and does not kick it, she does not, but damn does she want to. ]

[donotlick]

[ Better work fast, Han. Hank and Rebecca aren't patient people.... ]

How the fuck did we lose a fucking android when he's literally like one of two androids in this shithole!?

[foo_bar]

Look, just keep looking. I'll keep trying, alright?

[throwabookatit]

Where? We've looked everywhere, every single place in this sham of a campus!

[donotlick]

Literally! The only place I haven't checked is beyond the wall but Connor -- he fucking knows better than to fucking go out on his own. Not when... fuck.

He just wouldn't, okay?
