I meant as in the ones blocked.
>Nope. Everything you weren't allowed to access before, you're still not allowed to access. Why would Mother give you access to new stuff just before she blew you up?
Can we access a nearby terminal or Rikako's personal computer and analyze the files for a possible answer?
>There is a terminal here, but with all the water in the room it's shorting out in all sorts of ways that a computer shouldn't. You could try finding a computer elsewhere in the complex with the info, but if it's not on this computer it won't be anywhere.
Is the password implied in the story itself rou, or no?
[Sort of. I'll admit you guys might need to work for it.]
> Is the keypad a number only one, or does it also have letters?
>It's akin to a modern cellphone entry system. Kawashiro knows her way around it, so assume that she can enter any character you would find on a regular keyboard.
> Is there anything here that could be used as fingerprint powder? (In case Mommy's defused this bomb before.)
> Does our software include our consciousness? If so, would it be possible for our software to be transferred or copied to other hardware?
>The machine is pristine. This is the first time it's been exposed to open air. There's no clue to use other than the one on the monitor.
> Theoretically, yes; the issue is that the inevitable explosion would also destroy whatever hardware you stored yourself on.
If we fuck up is it over? Or do we get a quick scene and continue from the bomb?
>There will be no retconning. If you fail, you fail.>As has been mentioned, Mother is unconscious. There isn't any real higher-level thinking going on right now, so you'll have to wake her up.
You do so using some of the water lying around the room: taking some of it in your hands, you spill it on Mother's face. She splutters for a moment, then hazily opens her eyes.
"Wha...Rou-tan? I just had the most wonderful dream where I had caught everyone who had wronged me and-wait, why are you ticking?"
Mother takes a moment to put together the situation in her head. Her mouth slowly hangs open, and she looks almost set to slap you across the face.
"Y-You idiot! Why did you press that button without asking me what it does?! There was a reason I never let you hold it!"
The hand comes within inches of your face, then stops. Not that it would have mattered, given that your metallic frame would do more damage to her than she could ever do to you.
Mother is silent, sighing.
"Well, come on, Rou-tan. You know the answer, right? Surely you know what Mother's most important thing is."
Silence.
"Ummmm...not really, myu~♥."
Mother looks disappointed.
"...Really? The one thing that I care about more than anything else?"
Again, silence as you shake your head. The look of disappointment turns into shame.
"...Heh. I guess I failed with you at some point, then. If you can't figure it out yourself, then..."
With that, Mother wordlessly returns to her desk and sits there, tapping a finger against it impatiently.
"At least I'm taking all of you down with me. That's a nice little bonus."
Mother doesn't seem willing to help you...doesn't she want to get out of here alive? You don't understand...
