Introquest created by Michael Freiberg, a production of iHeartRadio and Astro Media Listen with headphones for three D audiobo in here the first side room along the professor's corridor, Eva, how are we going to get past the cameras and infrared sensors in this half of the corridor. The only things in this side room are wheelchairs and gurneys. Exactly, get a hold of for gurney. Sure are the fish, Yes, the gurney. Bring it over down, Get on and lay down. Eva, Whatever you have planned, I don't know. Holdies one extinguisher under each art. You'll leave them for the cameras. I won't be able to see with the sheet over me. The cameras won't see you either. It'll look like things normal, and I'm just dropping off a patient at the recovery room located at the first section's midpoint. That'll get us right before the start of the infrared heat sensors, stopping directly beneath the security cameras. When you feel the gurney stop, movie, that's my cube. You'll spring into action out from under the sheets, using the fire and fingers just to foam up the camera's lenss. Then in one swick motion, you'll also have to cover us head to toe in foam so we can pass through the heat sensors undetected. From there, we'll slip into my mechanics room at the end of the first half of the quarter, just before the fire doors. Think you can handle it, yes, being pushed in the gurney the rest I'll have the impervice. You've got this quick, Professor Adder. You won't find the answer to stop umbra in me. The answer is in you. Either, you should be proud of your impending sacrifice. You'll die in martyr for the cause. Your death will not be in vain. You you're responsible for patients suffering from umbra. A No, we must carry on with the intraquenial procedure. I need complete focus, as I studied a saw. If you have any final words, now is the time. Your work is the work of umbra. People like you luck others in prisons, break their wills, crush their spirits, poison their minds, make them suffer. Either, you can't cure umbra. We we give rise to umbra. We give rise to umbra, We give rise to um m hm m hm, m m hm. Hm hm.

Yep, me we did it. We made it to the mechanics room. Finished brushing up the fallm Okay, Now to take care of the drone unit on the other side of the fire doors in the second half of the corridor. What are you working on an EMP grenade? EMP stands for electromagnetic folks. It will admit a birth of the electromagnetic energy to frive the drone service. I see you share my rarefied passion for technology. The blast ray gets a small but it'll get the job done. Down this way, this door will appear opens directly into the second half of the corridor. All we have to do is toss the EMP grenade into the hall and wait for it to go off. Once it deactivates the drone, I'll head to the control room to disable the alarm system and with it the hallways restricted access. Great mind, if I do the honors, you want to toss the grenade, have at it. Wait now, come on in here. That's the holy room where we get over here Christ in excess the shop back to the corridor. We now have free reign of vice. That was quick. The last thing left, I guess is for you to scan us into the Professor's operating rooms that we can save either. Hold on, there's a medical supply clothing out here. Give me a here, take this scalpel. What do I do with this? I'm trying to access and look we're inside the operating room. Following Oh I'm jolly wrong. Beast guarding water not just sees a rat beast many headed yet oh holy creep, wow a tighter than them. No hurt, jelly, make jelly strong. Jelly must be immune after drink blood of baby land snake. Battle not over, Fight go on, must return to water, must defeat sea serpent, must not dry out right herr Jelly stand on tentacles, lead George to water. Jelly defeat you, mighty sisar ran Jelly take back all then for Jelly by ready local, ready Ebra. It's crazy mania taking me hostage up. Yeah, that's right, I am crazy, have a bad case of the umbra, real bad. I'll cut her with a scalpel unless you let ether go. Oh, go ahead, do with her what you will. She's not terribly important, too many, I'll do it all right, I swear, Oh locle drunk the charade? Oh oh, Ether, I don't the soft power chord? Who don't? Yes, I didn't, I said, eber cool. Don't you understand it doesn't matter anymore? You're too late. The truth was in front of me the entire time. Umbra can't be localized to an individual neuron. Umbra exists in every cell of our being. In time, she will awaken in all of us. Our corruption is inevitable. There's no stopping it. It's part of us. We're both host and parasite. We give rise to unr The only cure to the human condition is dead. The saw wasn't for either anymore. It was for me. Fortunately, I still have a way out. A preview of the Institute's perfected treatment one pill effective immediately to permanently eliminate all consciousness from the mind. Eva, Eva, Eva, I've done it. I found the cure, and I will save you all in Institute's self destruct system activated T minus fifteen minutes until meltdown. Eva, I'm so sorry for your loss. No, I lost him long ago. There's still time to save ourselves. What do we do. We have to get back to the engine room and shut down the reactor core before the meltdown causes the Institute to explode. We have fifteen minutes. The explosion can't be outrun, and the self destruct mechanism will cause a lockdown of all entries and exits in the Professor's corridor, starting here in the operating room and branching outwards to the engine room. We need to reach it before it seals shut. Peter, come with us, met logo. Serious, serious must still be in the rehabilitation the atrium garden. The operating room has a backdoor that leads to the atrium. Follow me. It's already locked. Let's see what can I used to open it? Maybe these matches you hold onto those fire x oxygen take that'll work. What's she doing? Listen kicking button emergency sprint clar system activate the best one way to open the door. Serious, what are you doing in the action stock? And why is the sugon stout broken? No? Serious? Read serious? Hello? Serious a lake from dream moor go to happen? Back Serious toes tom minutes and your meltdown. Hurry the whole place is going to explode. You have to return to the Professor's corridor and make it to the engine room before we're locked out. Serious friends, come trul uh course, come on, everyone's fighting harder, Serious craigs a story to tell. Careful, This part of the corridor is funding from the sprinklers. Keep going, head through the fire doors and on towards the engine room. The hid security holding everyone plays fired those back and say forts farm before you serious, stay behind the friends. Quite friends, he's a madman bull overpower. He's serious, trained and wiste of jelly fish. He okay, trust serious, Here take my cattle front taser. Justin Kate even even come on through the time drinning out? Oh no, the turbine, what about it? The engine room reactor drives the turbine. The excess energy being released due to the meltdown is causing the turbine to spin too fast and overheat. If the connection is not suffered, the whole institute is liable to collab before time even runs out. I'll handle this. Tell me how to reach the turbine if that starts to the waiting room prison, But the only way to get inside is from an entrance outside the facility. There isn't enough time. There has to be another access point. Think floorboards, ceiling panels. What about airbas that could work. The air punts run connected throughout the building. Air vans, got it? The ether. Even if you reach the turbine, it's too vague to dismount to the loan. You'd need the help of a small army to shut it down. I know just the people for the job. You two carry on to the engine room. Lead the turbine to me. Teamine is ten minutes until the meltdown. Now go before it's too late. It's time to play Fritz's favorite game, the one. Where As rolling bodies, don't fun for Fritz? For him? Which color call for explush more Fritz? Burn pass you are Fritz smashed the wall? Nowt still shot that crome. Fritz of the like the way you play, you won the game. Try to get a win round Fritz makes you going slide run for now tired all the way? Where he breaks Frijo dizzy, break fair or spoiled the far fair? What's that? Moore? Pajoy to play this new from this dark day? Must get day? My friends time back? Can't fret egle go myhill? All the footsich came off? Don't you dare? Nor friends keep cantertering Fritz so he can't no fair? Don't they know it's against the ruins in turn the water they clan shuts, but he can't swim those cools. You okay, fine, we made it to the engine room. It's time to get to work. What's fat device? A random number generator? I'm thinking it to the reactor mainframe by the emergency meltdown initiated. It pros access to the institute's network, so no one can overturn the countdown. The only way to bypass it and gain access to the cores operating system is with a three digit encrypted pass code. Only my father knew the combination. So you're using the random number generator to cycle through possible combinations until it arrives at the correct one to break into the system exactly. Once I regain access, I can manually override the system to shut down the core. Brilliant. How fast is the device is processing time one point two five seconds per combo, but for a three digit combination, that's a thousand possible permutations, meaning the expected run times just over ten minutes. The meltdown will have already, I know. Let's hope the destinies on our side. Today the ice is up and running either there's situated at the ends of the reactor are two valves. We can loosen them to release excess team and relieve some of the built up pressure. Ready ready, Now, as the mountain approaches, the reactor will get overhearts and fail to maintain equilibrium. We have to assure the core remains stable or it'll cook and devices circuits, eliminating all chances of shutting it down and stopping it from its floating the rector. It's alread all the systems fail stains are simultaneously non functioning. I have no interrest. We have to find a way to get the core more colant. The heaven white will still bounce. Wi WoT more colant and the reserve take okay, good, they haven't left themselves. Fellow prisoners. I've returned to ask for your help. A meltdown is imminent that will cause the institute to explode and kill us all. Next door, there's a room with a mechanical turbine that needs to be dismantled, or else the institute will collapse and we'll all die in the ruins before the meltdown could be averted. I can lead the way through the air vents, but I can't stop it myself. Together we can triumph, and we'll do it as free people, masters of our own faith. Who's with me? None of you will come forward? Zero hour time to step beyond these cell walls. The locks have been broken and the doors swing open. Don't resign yourselves to death by ferret. We'll speak on our behalf either any hope of the outside world's fantasy. We talk of freedom. We're finally free to die at last. You speak like the turbines. Our problem to us it's our solution. The countdown speaks loud and clear. So let us go in peace. That's better than wasting our last moments in agony over some false hope. Except your reality. This is the end. There was never any chance of escape. I just wish I could make you see Professor Adder is no more, But you're still as prisoners. We'll go it alone. I suffer from umbro I haven't given up hope. The noise s rattling my insights. Objects are falling from the ceiling face to face with a massive rotary machine spinning nearly the full length of the room would blades the size of a beast. How am I supposed to stop at spinning? There an industrial seal chain. If I can manage the last of the chain around the central rotor, I can pull a countercyclical to the turbine direction rotation to slow it down. I won't get up to stop the spinning. It's worth a shot, all right. One throw to round the chain around the turbine center. Here goes nothing, no trussing. Me have to get free. Round of this metal blanket, felt traps, traps, taser, my streets, dry ground, My defeat three now he's finally enriched. Fritz, prepare for him all out offensive Blintz. I think you're safe on that dry ground. You will be playing around your tricks and cheeps are turning your children. Fritz is finished, so brown two minus eight minutes until meltdown. Okay, it's hard to breathe. I could dictate sturve it on. I'll let the room low the worse than I thought. The corn linking chemiicals is the error? The room condamnated? What could we do? We need to imaginally turn on the valtration system and blush at the toss. The core reaches a week. The love the vultration systems and the problem. The reactors can game in structures to start a crash. If the hour show ruptures the energy reaction inside the gloibals to state itself, that's bad, very good. It wouldn't divide the animos flatlem parts linen. If I losten to another containment structure, screw, I can expand the area inside the core to increase the partible being free path. They're crazy the frequency and delicious that it provide them. Slack on the system to slow down and reactions. Are you crazy or do you want to losen the screws too risky files all safety Vertibal, You'll make the reactory even more susceptible to the last snow on the way. We have to take the gamble. I hope you're right. Power go. I know the reactors lay out in the areas that can be loosened. For slack, I'll hork on the unscrewing. Can you go down into the call space and turn on the full creature system? Me a lot? You think you battening your hand in the drill? No, no, just go burn it. Don't worry. I'm here. What is this? While? Are you talking? While I'm out here working. I'll be guiding you along. Stuff of the way. Okay, let's get to it. Don't ring down here, youle get low. I have to crape around. I don't regard any of the machinery. That's okay, keep going. I'm right there with you. Oh, I hope the scambal pis off. Please we down the crow bar hand under this paper mill? Crazy tiny time, stay away from me. R You came, why suffer from umbra? And you came. You showed us there's hope for the hopeless ether Tell us how we can help. Okay, First we need to secure that steel chain to the turbine. We can wrap it around the central rotor and interlace the links between the blades. To pull this off, we need everyone position evenly around the machine. You heard him, down around the turbine and get to work. First, the chain around the rotor. You talking now, the links between the blades. Come on? Good? No, everyone lined up behind me, single file on the side hamas and the turbine through station. It's time to pull the chain and make the rotors stop together on my command. Ready, who keep bulling? It's working just a little more. The church bi stork is too strong. You don't have your horse at our in tiny, tiny what are you doing? You going the crawl bar and get down from the turbid baby, keep on his five minutes until knelt down. The final lingle systems sent Loco. As you move through the crawl space, you'll come across three components of the ventilation system. Versus the particle gradient filter for removing toxins from the air. The second is the vent switch panel to reroute circulation from the interior to the outside, and third is the power exhaust band which drives the air fill. Each requires manual activation, particle gradium filter, fulate circulation, pedal, power, exhaust band. Got it? You set ahead of fuel CONSI should be a large multifunctional file that control of the particle gradium filter. I'm approaching it now. You need to problem the dial doctor of a particle fire for the system to remove the contaminants in the air. Okay, let's see the particle size. Oxygen is point o five microns sol fields for outside that range. To do it? What's next? That's not bad. The selection needs to be inputed into the system. There are different moods that filter based on collected attribute with setius index to a time set that de Fridt. To filter for a particle size, you need the tenth set, meaning the dial mult being held down for exactly tenth seconds. Too short or too wrong, and it will runs to the wrong selection. I don't have a way of time and time. The cabinet beneath you are a series of twelve fots. These buttons are fixed second timers, imagining one through twelve to registered selection. Think the dial with the ten second timer. The ten second timer. It's stuck. All the buttons are jammed except for the four and nine second timers. What do we do? I don't know. Think of something. Okay, I have a four and a nine second timer. I need ten seconds. How can I simulate this? Got it? I'll start both at the same time. Four and nine are relatively prime numbers. A combination between them must exist and aggregates the ten After simultaneously beginning both timers, and now having restarted the four second timer at the conclusion of its first cycle, I'll know the nine second timer. It's one second remaining. Once the four second timer runs out of time again. At that point, I'll begin holding down the system's main dial now having just we started the nine second time were immediately after terminated. Once this remaining timer runs out, I can release my hold and the dial will have been pressed for a total of ten seconds. Eva, I did it? Yeah, I know. You'd find a way onto the vent switch panel to rerop the circulation to your white should be a pop with tool rubbers, I do. I'm all the way. The robbers open enclose air vents of the engine room and central air dunce, respectively. Each level can be positioned to either open or seat or closed to open the vent and rerop the air poll to the outside. Align these levers to the five marked Oh it sounds easy enough. The first lever corresponding to the engine room a vertical switch currently positioned. To see, I just have to shift it down to Oh. Done, Onto lever number two. Labels are faded, and this lever moves horizontally, not vertically like the first one. Do I switch it left or right? Why aren't these levers uniform and design? How can I tell which side is the correct position? Eva, there's a problem with the second lever. The markings faded. Do I shift it left or right? I don't remember it. There must be a way you can figure it out. Okay, how do I solve this one? I have an unmarked lever that opens and closes a vent to the outside. The open position unknown could be left, could be right. Chance of survival, chance of death fifty fifty. If I'm wrong, I won't know until it's too late and we'll all perish in the meltdown. There have to be a way to know for certain, If only I wasn't feeling so lightheaded. Lightheaded the matches. I can light a match, then hold it up to the air vent above me as I shift the lever to a random side. If it's in the C position, the air vent will remain closed and the match will simply burn out. Then, with the relative positions known, I can switch the lever to the opposite side to open the vent. But if the first position I tried it turns out to be the O position, the vent will open to the outside and a current of fresh air will will rush through the ducks, igniting a backdraft. In this unfortunate scenario, the match will flare up into a fireball, setting me a flame and permanently scarring my body with third degree burns. Not ideal, but either way, I'll have confirmation of the correct side to open the vent. I have to go through with this. Which side is the lucky one? Left or right? Fifty fifty A brother, fresh air or permanent facial disfigurement L for logo, L for left. I'll go left. There's no logic in it, ether and serious will be proud. Here goes nothing. The match is burning out. I'm okay, the vents are open, We're circulating to the outside air. Great, We're all off time directly ahead of you. If the air duct opening the moment is a pole cord that actively powers often inside. Doctor, give it a tug and you've got the ventuation system off the running. I have to cord in my hands. Then, oh no, the chords caught on something. I'll need to crawl inside the duck myself to free it. My ox attack is to make a fit through the ducks narrow opening. I have to go in without it. Your hanky, Come on, go on, Elly, got it. You've got the fan going. The random number generator in marched the Pascal one three thick one. That was the number of our unit back home in the Baramard. I was wrong, Dad, you never did forget time to shut it all down? Affection return, meltdown aboard. Wait did it? Logo we stopped the meltdown. Logo quick it again? Almost loss you water give logo life the reactor court the meltdown. It's all over. We did it. Thanks to you. We're safe. H what now? Huh uh. I'm gonna stay here at the institute for a little while and help the patients make a full recovery, an actual full recovery. Then I'll depart for Verreguard's headquarters. I suppose the three of you will continue on with your journey. We will. We've got our satellite dis pieces back and we're packed and ready. So is this where we part ways? Then? I guess so so long bye Eva? Wait take this with you? What is it? A set of numbers coordinates Bereguard's headquarters. If you're ever in search of the truth, maybe there I'll be waiting.

The meltdown will have already, I know. Let's hope the destinies on our side. Today the ice is up and running either there's situated at the ends of the reactor are two valves. We can loosen them to release excess team and relieve some of the built up pressure. Ready ready, Now, as the mountain approaches, the reactor will get overhearts and fail to maintain equilibrium. We have to assure the core remains stable or it'll cook and devices circuits, eliminating all chances of shutting it down and stopping it from its floating the rector. It's alread all the systems fail stains are simultaneously non functioning. I have no interrest. We have to find a way to get the core more colant. The heaven white will still bounce. Wi WoT more colant and the reserve take okay, good, they haven't left themselves. Fellow prisoners. I've returned to ask for your help. A meltdown is imminent that will cause the institute to explode and kill us all. Next door, there's a room with a mechanical turbine that needs to be dismantled, or else the institute will collapse and we'll all die in the ruins before the meltdown could be averted. I can lead the way through the air vents, but I can't stop it myself. Together we can triumph, and we'll do it as free people, masters of our own faith. Who's with me? None of you will come forward? Zero hour time to step beyond these cell walls. The locks have been broken and the doors swing open. Don't resign yourselves to death by ferret. We'll speak on our behalf either any hope of the outside world's fantasy. We talk of freedom. We're finally free to die at last. You speak like the turbines. Our problem to us it's our solution. The countdown speaks loud and clear. So let us go in peace. That's better than wasting our last moments in agony over some false hope. Except your reality. This is the end. There was never any chance of escape. I just wish I could make you see Professor Adder is no more, But you're still as prisoners. We'll go it alone. I suffer from umbro I haven't given up hope. The noise s rattling my insights. Objects are falling from the ceiling face to face with a massive rotary machine spinning nearly the full length of the room would blades the size of a beast. How am I supposed to stop at spinning? There an industrial seal chain. If I can manage the last of the chain around the central rotor, I can pull a countercyclical to the turbine direction rotation to slow it down. I won't get up to stop the spinning. It's worth a shot, all right. One throw to round the chain around the turbine center. Here goes nothing, no trussing. Me have to get free. Round of this metal blanket, felt traps, traps, taser, my streets, dry ground, My defeat three now he's finally enriched. Fritz, prepare for him all out offensive Blintz. I think you're safe on that dry ground. You will be playing around your tricks and cheeps are turning your children. Fritz is finished, so brown two minus eight minutes until meltdown. Okay, it's hard to breathe. I could dictate sturve it on. I'll let the room low the worse than I thought. The corn linking chemiicals is the error? The room condamnated? What could we do? We need to imaginally turn on the valtration system and blush at the toss. The core reaches a week. The love the vultration systems and the problem. The reactors can game in structures to start a crash. If the hour show ruptures the energy reaction inside the gloibals to state itself, that's bad, very good. It wouldn't divide the animos flatlem parts linen. If I losten to another containment structure, screw, I can expand the area inside the core to increase the partible being free path. They're crazy the frequency and delicious that it provide them. Slack on the system to slow down and reactions. Are you crazy or do you want to losen the screws too risky files all safety Vertibal, You'll make the reactory even more susceptible to the last snow on the way. We have to take the gamble. I hope you're right. Power go. I know the reactors lay out in the areas that can be loosened. For slack, I'll hork on the unscrewing. Can you go down into the call space and turn on the full creature system? Me a lot? You think you battening your hand in the drill? No, no, just go burn it. Don't worry. I'm here. What is this? While? Are you talking? While I'm out here working. I'll be guiding you along. Stuff of the way. Okay, let's get to it. Don't ring down here, youle get low. I have to crape around. I don't regard any of the machinery. That's okay, keep going. I'm right there with you. Oh, I hope the scambal pis off. Please we down the crow bar hand under this paper mill? Crazy tiny time, stay away from me. R You came, why suffer from umbra? And you came. You showed us there's hope for the hopeless ether Tell us how we can help. Okay, First we need to secure that steel chain to the turbine. We can wrap it around the central rotor and interlace the links between the blades. To pull this off, we need everyone position evenly around the machine. You heard him, down around the turbine and get to work. First, the chain around the rotor. You talking now, the links between the blades. Come on? Good? No, everyone lined up behind me, single file on the side hamas and the turbine through station. It's time to pull the chain and make the rotors stop together on my command. Ready, who keep bulling? It's working just a little more. The church bi stork is too strong. You don't have your horse at our in tiny, tiny what are you doing? You going the crawl bar and get down from the turbid baby, keep on his five minutes until knelt down. The final lingle systems sent Loco. As you move through the crawl space, you'll come across three components of the ventilation system. Versus the particle gradient filter for removing toxins from the air. The second is the vent switch panel to reroute circulation from the interior to the outside, and third is the power exhaust band which drives the air fill. Each requires manual activation, particle gradium filter, fulate circulation, pedal, power, exhaust band. Got it? You set ahead of fuel CONSI should be a large multifunctional file that control of the particle gradium filter. I'm approaching it now. You need to problem the dial doctor of a particle fire for the system to remove the contaminants in the air. Okay, let's see the particle size. Oxygen is point o five microns sol fields for outside that range. To do it? What's next? That's not bad. The selection needs to be inputed into the system. There are different moods that filter based on collected attribute with setius index to a time set that de Fridt. To filter for a particle size, you need the tenth set, meaning the dial mult being held down for exactly tenth seconds. Too short or too wrong, and it will runs to the wrong selection. I don't have a way of time and time. The cabinet beneath you are a series of twelve fots. These buttons are fixed second timers, imagining one through twelve to registered selection. Think the dial with the ten second timer. The ten second timer. It's stuck. All the buttons are jammed except for the four and nine second timers. What do we do? I don't know. Think of something. Okay, I have a four and a nine second timer. I need ten seconds. How can I simulate this? Got it? I'll start both at the same time. Four and nine are relatively prime numbers. A combination between them must exist and aggregates the ten After simultaneously beginning both timers, and now having restarted the four second timer at the conclusion of its first cycle, I'll know the nine second timer. It's one second remaining. Once the four second timer runs out of time again. At that point, I'll begin holding down the system's main dial now having just we started the nine second time were immediately after terminated. Once this remaining timer runs out, I can release my hold and the dial will have been pressed for a total of ten seconds. Eva, I did it? Yeah, I know. You'd find a way onto the vent switch panel to rerop the circulation to your white should be a pop with tool rubbers, I do. I'm all the way. The robbers open enclose air vents of the engine room and central air dunce, respectively. Each level can be positioned to either open or seat or closed to open the vent and rerop the air poll to the outside. Align these levers to the five marked Oh it sounds easy enough. The first lever corresponding to the engine room a vertical switch currently positioned. To see, I just have to shift it down to Oh. Done, Onto lever number two. Labels are faded, and this lever moves horizontally, not vertically like the first one. Do I switch it left or right? Why aren't these levers uniform and design? How can I tell which side is the correct position? Eva, there's a problem with the second lever. The markings faded. Do I shift it left or right? I don't remember it. There must be a way you can figure it out. Okay, how do I solve this one? I have an unmarked lever that opens and closes a vent to the outside. The open position unknown could be left, could be right. Chance of survival, chance of death fifty fifty. If I'm wrong, I won't know until it's too late and we'll all perish in the meltdown. There have to be a way to know for certain, If only I wasn't feeling so lightheaded. Lightheaded the matches. I can light a match, then hold it up to the air vent above me as I shift the lever to a random side. If it's in the C position, the air vent will remain closed and the match will simply burn out. Then, with the relative positions known, I can switch the lever to the opposite side to open the vent. But if the first position I tried it turns out to be the O position, the vent will open to the outside and a current of fresh air will will rush through the ducks, igniting a backdraft. In this unfortunate scenario, the match will flare up into a fireball, setting me a flame and permanently scarring my body with third degree burns. Not ideal, but either way, I'll have confirmation of the correct side to open the vent. I have to go through with this. Which side is the lucky one? Left or right? Fifty fifty A brother, fresh air or permanent facial disfigurement L for logo, L for left. I'll go left. There's no logic in it, ether and serious will be proud. Here goes nothing. The match is burning out. I'm okay, the vents are open, We're circulating to the outside air. Great, We're all off time directly ahead of you. If the air duct opening the moment is a pole cord that actively powers often inside. Doctor, give it a tug and you've got the ventuation system off the running. I have to cord in my hands. Then, oh no, the chords caught on something. I'll need to crawl inside the duck myself to free it. My ox attack is to make a fit through the ducks narrow opening. I have to go in without it. Your hanky, Come on, go on, Elly, got it. You've got the fan going. The random number generator in marched the Pascal one three thick one. That was the number of our unit back home in the Baramard. I was wrong, Dad, you never did forget time to shut it all down? Affection return, meltdown aboard. Wait did it? Logo we stopped the meltdown. Logo quick it again? Almost loss you water give logo life the reactor court the meltdown. It's all over. We did it. Thanks to you. We're safe. H what now? Huh uh. I'm gonna stay here at the institute for a little while and help the patients make a full recovery, an actual full recovery. Then I'll depart for Verreguard's headquarters. I suppose the three of you will continue on with your journey. We will. We've got our satellite dis pieces back and we're packed and ready. So is this where we part ways? Then? I guess so so long bye Eva? Wait take this with you? What is it? A set of numbers coordinates Bereguard's headquarters. If you're ever in search of the truth, maybe there I'll be waiting.
