Maribel Hearn Quest: ACT III - Part 4

[Monarda]

I wanna progress, but that misdirection that made us leave the laptop at Rengeteki's shack made me so paranoid.

[the old guy]

Dude, its just a damn game, don't so worried. We'll sort this out.

[Monarda]

Well... i guess... we could send some of our group to care for that too...

[Neovereign]

>"J-Just be quieter."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"J-Just be quieter."

>Chiyuri glares at you, "_{^{You're insane! You don't know about anything going on with our situation!" she sighs, "Please... Just shut up before you get my friend killed...}}"
>_

[Monarda]

>Look back at our group and make an gap leading back to the shack near them.
>"Rengey, Sumireko, could you please take the things we bought back to the shack ? We will be there soon."
>Once they head inside close it and look back to Chiyuri.
>Quietly. "Look, they need the professor to do that project of theirs remember ? Plus Rika and Rikako are only two, please believe me,i can help you..."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Look back at our group and make an gap leading back to the shack near them.
>"Rengey, Sumireko, could you please take the things we bought back to the shack ? We will be there soon."

>You open a gap
>"O-Oh... Okay" Sumireko nods, before taking the things from Renko and moving through the gap with Rengeteki, Matenshi, and Rin.

>Once they head inside close it and look back to Chiyuri.
>Quietly. "Look, they need the professor to do that project of theirs remember ? Plus Rika and Rikako are only two, please believe me,i can help you..."

>You shut the gap.
>Chiyuri stares at you for a moment "_{^{H-How do you know this...? How do you know who Rika is!?}}"
>_

[Monarda]

>Quietly. "A friend that made a terrible discovery, now hug me, and tell me what your room looks like, if we can get you two out of there, we can the put an end to their plans."
>Open our arms and slowly approach for a hug.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Quietly. "A friend that made a terrible discovery, now hug me, and tell me what your room looks like, if we can get you two out of there, we can the put an end to their plans."
>Open our arms and slowly approach for a hug.

>"^{_{I-It's not that simple... Professor Okazaki won't go anywhere as long as they're holding our friend captive... A-And I refuse to leave either of them behind too...}}" she looks around, "^{_{Uh... look, if this... so-called friend of yours knows anything.... see if you can ask them if they know where their captive is. I'll be in the market district tomorrow, at noon... if you find anything, go there... If you show up, then don't look for me, I'll find you.}}"

[Monarda]

>Nod and pat her back gently.
>"There there... relax, whatever it is that is bothering you, just vent it away and calm down..."
>Whisper again. "Are they armed ? Do they have any abilities ? Is the other you imprisoned too ?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Nod and pat her back gently.
>"There there... relax, whatever it is that is bothering you, just vent it away and calm down..."
>Whisper again. "Are they armed ? Do they have any abilities ? Is the other you imprisoned too ?"

>You attempt to pat her back, but she continues to keep her distance.

>You have no knowledge of an "other you" regarding Chiyuri. You do recall her mentioning someone else named Chiyuri during your first meeting, but its not enough information to draw definitive conclusions from. They could simply have the same name and nothing else for all you know
>At the risk of sounding silly, you simply omit the last sentence.

>Chiyuri looks around, "_{^{I'd imagine they're armed, yes. Rika is... quite a skilled engineer...  from what I've seen so far... s-she has a drone circling us as we speak... and I know Rikako has at least one gun... As for abilities... I haven't seen much from either of them... Aside from Rika's engineering skill... Gee, I hope she isn't getting suspicious with how long we've interacted...}}"

[the old guy]

>Whispering, say "thank you, I'll try to help the best I can."

[Monarda]

>Whisper. "I'll try to find out more about the other Chiyuri."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Whispering, say "thank you, I'll try to help the best I can."

>Whisper. "I'll try to find out more about the other Chiyuri."

>"_{^{T-Try to find where they're holding her, please...}}" She replies, "Look, for the last time, leave me alone!" she yells rather loudly and runs off.

>"What was that all about...?" Renko asks
>_

[Monarda]

>Sigh sadly and look back to them.
>"Don't worry... cmon, let's go back."
>Make an gap leading back to the shack and go through.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Sigh sadly and look back to them.
>"Don't worry... cmon, let's go back."
>Make an gap leading back to the shack and go through.

>"A-Alright"
>You create a gap and go through.

>You notice Sumireko and the others talking when you arrive. She seems to be explaining what a laptop is to the others.
>_

[Monarda]

>Close the gap and then picture the outside of the shack, and make a gap leading to the eye space with that as a basis.
>"I'll have to show you something on that, and it's not good..."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Close the gap and then picture the outside of the shack, and make a gap leading to the eye space with that as a basis.
>"I'll have to show you something on that, and it's not good..."

>You create a gap to the outside of the shack, then close one end to create a half-gap
>"Huh?" Sumireko asks
>_

[Monarda]

>"Come in here with me everyone, it's safer, and bring the laptop."
>Lead them inside them close the other opening.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Come in here with me everyone, it's safer, and bring the laptop."
>Lead them inside them close the other opening.

>"O-Okay." Sumireko nods, as do the others.

>Everyone follows you inside, and you close the entrance.
>You are now "standing" within your gapspace.
>_

[Monarda]

>Begin showing them our findings on the Flash Drive.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Begin showing them our findings on the Flash Drive.

>You begin showing them the contents...
>"T-This can't be serious, can it?" Renko asks as you go through the logs.
>_

[Monarda]

>"It is... they went so far as to open up a fairy's body... while she was alive..."
>Shiver.
>"That's basically torturing a kid... all for the sake of 'curing this illness' that they consider magic to be... Chiyuri right there is being forced to work for them, since they have two friends of her captive."

>"T-That's horrible!" Renko looks appalled as everyone else looks on in shock. "M-Merry! We have to stop them!"
>_

[the old guy]

>"We will."
>Check our hat to see if yukari has gotten back to us.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"We will."
>Check our hat to see if yukari has gotten back to us.

>You check.
>Nothing yet...
>_

[the old guy]

>Did the Data Chip say where her base is?

[Monarda]

>Did the Data Chip say where her base is?

>It's not a data chip lol, just a regular flash drive, and yeah it did.
>"There is one last files here, about their project, but it has a password and we can't access it."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Did the Data Chip say where her base is?

>It's not a data chip lol, just a regular flash drive, and yeah it did.
>"There is one last files here, about their project, but it has a password and we can't access it."

>It didn't give an exact location, but it did say the general place where it was.

>"Well, don't look at me." says Sumireko, "I'm not a hacker."
>"I don't think I'd have any more luck." says Renko
>_

[Monarda]

>"Well... our best guess would be to find someone able to bypass this password..."
