Spotting what seems to be an access point, Speed-Y decides to try and connect to it.
Lucas-R looks concerned. “Sir… are you sure you want to mess with that?”
He’s able to get it to respond. It seems that it’s part of a Power Services subnet, and is, naturally, protected. Apparently, it needs Ancillary Clearance PowServ-Gamma.
Before he can investigate further, his PDC begins to ring.
Outside Building 2, Industrial Subsector B
As it happens, it’s L4-O. He’s heading out towards the warbot, with the rest of the team in tow. Behind him, Jam-Y looks out for signs of… well, anything, really. The only thing he can see is the big warbot looming ahead. | |  | |  |

 | |  | | ![]() I look at Lucas.
"Just in case it was left without security... Sometimes PowerServices do that... And then I would be learn a few stuff. Only Yellow clearance of course..."
I disconnect from the access point and attend to the PDC ringing. | |  | |  |

 | |  | | ![]() Perceiving the situation, I approach the clone that won the bet.
"Hello, my name is Kris-R. I am on special observation duty, so I would like to ask you a few questions. What is your name? Where are you from? What is your duty? Why did you wager that I would leave the booth in good condition?"
I ready my PDC to note down the clone's response. | |  | |  |
|
| | | | ![]() If Speed-Y successfully answers, I start speaking right away.
"Good to hear from you, sir. Any new information from what you're doing? And do you need any assistance? We're nearby, we did a sweep for survivors, but there aren't any more Junior Citizens. We did get a few survivors from Building 3 though..."
"We're just going to check up on the warbot at the perimeter, it may not be functioning anymore, so we may be needed to guard there... possibly..." | | | | |
|
| | | | ![]() I reinsert my ME card into the slot.
"It's always great to perform transactions with the computer!"
While waiting for credits to be deducted, I continue examining the cleanliness of the confession booth interior. | | | | |

Speed-Y looks at Lucas-R and tells him that he was simply checking to see if it was unsecured, something that Power Services does from time to time. If it were, he could have learned something.
He disconnects, and answers his PDC. It’s L4-O, who asks for a quick status report, and gives one of his own. He tells Speed-Y that they are on their way to the checkpoint. Now that the warbot has apparently been neutralised, their help may be needed.
Roadway, Industrial Subsectors
As the team approaches, they can see that the warbot seems to be giving off copious amounts of smoke. All hatches are open, and a couple of clones are trying to make their way out while simultaneously trying to deal with the smoke. (And King-R thought the smog was bad enough…)
Corridor G7-45, JHP Sector
Kris-R approaches the wager-winner and asks a few questions. “Well well well… additional duty, eh? Alright then, why not? I’m Stu-R-JHP-2, I’m with PLC, and me and my friends like to watch mutants get zapped. I didn’t think you were a mutant, though, and neither dues Our Friend. So you must be okay. Can’t say much about your companion, though.”
Cryo-R’s confession booth, Corridor G7-45, JHP Sector
His companion is still busy, what with the new fine. He re-inserts his ME Card and waits. While he waits, he notices that a fine grey powder is covering every surface inside the booth.
Shortly, the Computer replies, “You have insufficient credits to pay this fine! Remember, you have *static* hourcycles to pay the fine, or you will be subject to summary termination!”
Something in the booth begins to hum. | | | | |

 | |  | | ![]() Ah, a warehouse. Splendid. This grate however... unfortunately less so. I feel in my pockets for a PDA, a wrench, or even a humble screwdriver. Why didn't I think to steal one earlier? It'd sure come in handy now. Or, knowing my luck, it probably wouldn't.
With what I find, or more likely what I don't, I attempt to remedy the grate situation. | |  | |  |

| | | | ![]() "Hello L4
Alright... I am investigating, we will never finish this mission doing only contingency, but good work.
What I found so far is that Power Services has a traitor... Power Services and Tech Services use notation that is unknown to each other, and also that is unknown in other sectors... But whoever did the sabotage and installation of the nanites, knew this sector Power Services code, meaning that someone from Power Services in this sector, is a traitor and is leaking out Power Services information or actively helping in treasonous activities.
I will now see if I can figure how the nanites are controlled, somehow...
I am thinking in how to do that without commiting treason by accident.
You do a physical sweep, to locate the operator of the nanites physically, there must be one, or at least some machine to oversee it, or some person overseeing the operation, but I very much doubt they just spread the gas and left everything running by itself, if they have a objective, they have someone, or something, working on it." | | | | |

| | | | ![]() "Hmm... most interesting. Thank you for your cooperation, Stu-R."
I enter abbreviated notes into my PDC.
"Cryo-R? You have seen him? We are on a mission. I need to find him as soon as possible so we can return to our tasks." | | | | |

I plunge through the hole, shoving out huge amounts of air and gasping in as much as I can. | |  | |  |
|
| | | | ![]() "Hm. Good plan. I'll have to keep my eyes out then... but I haven't seen anyone suspicious for a while. If I may state my opinion, they may have already left the Industrial Subsector... I certainly wouldn't want to stay in the buildings after triggering something like this. And I think the tampering had already occurred before we arrived... so... well, I guess I'll just keep my eyes out. I can only hope such a clone is still in the area, and not elsewhere doing those... treasonous things."
I continue to approach the warbot cautiously, but I glance around occasionally to see if there's anyone else around that is either a survivor, treasony person, or treasony unperson. | | | | |

| | | | ![]() Roadway, Industrial Subsectors
Jam-Y waits for L4-O to give him a rundown on Speed-Y’s status.
Corridor 1, Level 2, Building 2, Industrial Subsector B
Speed-Y tells L4-O that he is investigating things. He has discovered that there is a traitor in Power Services… one who knows the local PowServ codes. This traitor is either providing information about codes or is actively helping the traitors. His next step will be to figure out if the nanomachines are being controlled remotely… if he can find a non-treasonous way to do that. He suggests that the rest of the team continue their sweep, and look out for any sign of a nanomachine controller. After all, if they’ve gone to the trouble of spreading the gas around, there must be a reason for it…
Roadway, Industrial Subsectors
L4-O approves, but notes that he hasn’t seen anyone suspicious for a while. He believes that any suspicious types may have slipped through the cracks and left the Industrial Subsectors. And since the tampering occurred before they got there… the only thing he can do is keep his eyes open.
He and the rest of the teram approach the warbot. It seems that the warbot is indeed inert, and is smoking from every… everything. It must have really overloaded itself.
Soldiers are clustered around it, trying to rescue their squadmates from the smoky interior. It’c clear that they’re not having much luck. Only a few have made it out.
Corridor G7-45, JHP Sector
Kris-R thanks Stu-R, and makes some notes. He then asks about Cryo-R. “Is that his name? Yeah, I’ve sene him. He entered a confession booth not long after you did. He stared at us the whole time. He had this creepy stare, like he could see right through us or something… almost… inhuman. I’ve got 20 credits on him not coming out.”
| | Warehouse
Suddenly overcome by dizziness, Mick-R dives into the warehouse, gasping for airt.
His mind clears somewhat (not enough to notice that the air duct is now… gone) and he notices that, as well as being RED, the warehouse if full of boxes.
