[IC] Experimental Army

The door opened to reveal a small office. There was a chair, a desk with the computer on it, and filing cabinets. The cabinets would be locked. The computer would show that the office was dedicated to the drama teacher. The computer would have plays, songs, costume and prop notes, backdrop designs, and many videos. If Felice looked carefully under the desk he would see two things.

Roxy smirked at the new arrival. "Another late arrival. In case you don't know we are playing find the cheese with Vlad. Unfortantly none of use are mice. I don't suppose your a mouse." She knew he wasn't they all had abilities that the scientist thought were useful. And while they might be lab mice none of them were actual animals. Which was a good thing she supposed.

Deus was dragged up a bit more before being eventually kicked out of their grapples.
@KatherinWinter "Find the cheese? Mice? I'm not sure I get it" he replied to the black haired girl he landed next to, while slowly standing up. "But do let me tell you, I ain't no mouse to anyone. "

[KatherinWinter]

@Coga19000
Roxy smirked. The guy wasn't as bright as she had hoped. Oh well. Brains weren't exactly required to be part of the experiment. "Do you want help with the cuffs?" She offered. Not because she cared but because it was always a good idea to have the others owe her favors. She needed whatever power she could get. Vlad had too much control and she didn't like it. "We are looking for information written in black and white."

[Coga19000]

@KatherinWinter "No thanks. I don't need them out yet, and they don't restrict any movements I might immediately find necessary. " He said as he cleaned himself up a bit.
"She must think I'm dumb as a rock" He thought in the process. "She can't seriously think someone who passed through this kind of shit would expect anyone in here to offer help with no benefit to be taken "
He then turned towards the girl with a smirk of his own. "So, Miss Not-A-Mouse, what are our clues on this classified-intel treasure hunt? "

[KatherinWinter]

@Coga19000
"Our only clue so far is that we are looking for information in black and white." Roxy repeated wondering what the guy's IQ was. She had a feeling he was going to require more patient then she had. She wasn't a patient person. Which was why she was glad the Italian guy was someplace else. She studied the new arrival and wondered what he could do. Something interesting from the control measures he had on him. She rubbed at her neck above the collar.

[Coga19000]

@KatherinWinter
"Oh, nothing else yet? I see"
He did not like the girl's attitude too much. The way she repeated herself proved his point; she thought he was dumb. That he could fucking use; he was tired of people expecting the Moon from him. And it would also give him time to check out his inmates. He just hoped he would have time to do so before he had to demonstrate his powers.
And yet, he did not really want to wait until the others found the information. He decided to give his skills little by little. "Okay, I do happen to have stumbled upon a map of this place. Show me which rooms have been searched as of now, and which were your results."

[KatherinWinter]

@Coga19000
Roxy rolled her eyes and pointed to the unlabeled map on the wall. It was about as useful as mud. It told them only were they were and where the elevators and stairs were. There was nothing else on the maps but colors which meant nothing to any of them. They were in the dark green hall which seemed to hold labs from what she could see from Ezekiel's explorations of the rooms. She doubted that the information was on this floor but she wasn't going to state that again.

[Coga19000]

@KatherinWinter
Deus rolled his eyes in return, and showed her the little gadget on his hand. "I was actually talking about this. Seems the guards use it for themselves. It geek out of one's pocket when he kicked me. " He then proceeded to stick it on the wall, on which it projected a paneled digital version of the map. "Were not connected to a network, so I don't know the others' positions. Do you happen to know?"

[KatherinWinter]

@Coga19000
"Nope. My power doesn't involve mind reading, instant knowledge, or people finding." She told him. She purposely didn't mention her actual power. Not that she could use it much at the moment. Vlad knew too well that she would be gone the second she had the ability to do so. Which was why she had the stupid collar. That and the scientist liked to have complete control over everything.

[Coga19000]

@KatherinWinter"Well maybe, but haven't you kept in touch with each other? Like, don't you report to each other every so often? You must share some kind of information, or else finding each other would be just as hard as finding the intelligence." They had to, didn't they? Judging from her previous answer, they probably didn't. And she dared think of him as dumb, when she and the others were blindly flailing through the giant maze of a prison searching for something they knew nothing about? He kept serene on the outside, but in his mind he was shaking his head in disappointment.

[KatherinWinter]

@Coga19000
"Vlad didn't include radios. No one can communicate long distance. I was against going in separate directions but I got out voted." Roxy told him as she leaned against the wall. She knew it was ridiculous to go too far from each other while they had no way to communicate but no one else thought that would be a problem. She didn't know how they would accomplish anything this way. But she had been out voted so she was just following the others.

[Coga19000]

@KatherinWinter"I see." Maybe the girl was smarter than he though after all. But he still knew most of the other inmates had rushed head on towards the unknown. This lack of organisation could trouble them all.
"Couldn't they at least agree on a place to meet afterwards? " he said while sighing, but didn't really wait for the answer before going on. "Not that it matters too much now. Do you happen to know any piece of machinery connected to the central network around here? A computer terminal, a control panel - hell, a cable if need be?"

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

@KatherinWinter

Finding nobody inside, the short boy surveyed the room carefully before stepping inside fully, closing the door behind him. Even if cameras and chips were tracking his every move in the facility, any steps to cover his tracks no matter how tiny or inconsequential, would be good practice. This was a mission, even if a meaningless one. After a few minutes of fiddling with the cabinets to find them locked, he set about the desk to find anything useful. Paperclips and pens went into storage for later, as well as a pad of paper. A few more minutes of trying to access the computer - surprising unlocked, though apparently not connected to the main network without a password - he only found it full of performance notes. Curious, considering what kind of facility he thought this was, but he supposed even government-funded thugs needed entertainment. He didn't have time to get through everything, but he did look around for a mobile drive or some other device he could download files onto for later. He didn't know exactly what he'd do with them, but hey, if all else failed, they'd make great bootlegs at some point.

As he searched around the desk, he stopped for a moment as he thought to have caught sight of something beneath. I wasn't just a shadow on the trash bin, was it? Curious, especially if it contained improperly disposed information, he ducked under the desk and peered closer.

[KatherinWinter]

@Coga19000
"Sure. But all the computers are going to have scientist at them. The control panels will have guards near them. And while there is cable everywhere the cameras would notice if you start messing with one. Not mention that the guards are unlikely to let you touch anything that important. Vlad likes to have complete control of the facility." Roxy told him. She was more curious about his abilities now.

[Coga19000]

@KatherinWinter Deus sighed. "well, this is my lucky day isn't it. Anyways, do you have anything I can project to those machines- a laser, a radio, a Wi-Fi receiver, something along these lines- or know where it is? And if not, do you at least have a means of distraction?" He was almost sure she did- he could tell she was a sneaky one.

[KatherinWinter]

@Coga19000
Roxy smirked. "I wouldn't know anything about that kind of stuff. It's way beyond me." she answered. She tilted her head towards the camera. He might not want to be so obvious. Vlad didn't mind them using their skills and powers. But only to a certain extent. Especially since either his skills and powers had to do with electronics. The mad scientist had taken a risk with him.

@YamiCuoreLaroux
Under the desk was a small flashdrive under the desk. It might contain anything or nothing.

[Coga19000]

@KatherinWinter Deus followed the girl's head and found a surveillance camera. He then proceeded to stand on the wall with his hand, and let out a sigh of exhaustion while saying "Well, wasn't that a waste of time. Might as well keep going the normal way, then; I don't plan on waiting for the others all day. Follow me."
He then started limping down the hallway, but continuously touching the wall with his hand, as if to keep balance. "Bloody hell, those fucking guards sure know how to incapacitate a man; my leg is killing me" he complained, as his right hand was continuously following the the electrical signature of the cable that it had detected coming from the camera.

[KatherinWinter]

@Coga19000
Roxy nodded. She knew how the man felt. After all it hadn't been that Long since she had been unconscious from being tased. She looked around as they walked. The hall was nothing special or important. She doubted the knowledge they were looking for was here. The problem wasn't finding knowledge. The problem was that the whole building was full of knowledge and things related to knowledge.

[Coga19000]

@KatherinWinter
"So," he asked the girl while they were still in the vicinity of the camera, so as not to seen inconspicuous, "I already know your powers do not have to do with telepathy and finding people. However, that does not really give me an idea of how you can help. So, which are your powers?"
He observed her own security measures while saying that. Could she possibly have the same powers as him? But he doubted that the experiment would be doubled- and it seemed that she was an older member of the Army, while he was sure he was the first one the excitement was conducted with. Still, she most likely had incredible power, or else they would not bother with the measures... Or would they? Still, it drowned on what kind of measures they are. They were most likely were not like his- which was not very good for her, since purely mechanical measures are generally less restrictng, but he was able to find many loopholes with his that were not possible on dumb equipment.
"Well, how about we let her tell us instead of guessing. Even though I feel she won't really say anything. "

@KatherinWinter
Felice picked up the flash drive carefully, finding it a bit unfortunate that it had just been left on the floor. Everyone could be clumsy, though, so it wasn't anything particularly odd. Looking it over for markings, he briefly wondered about exactly where it came from. I doubt it's anything useful...the chance of a faculty member using it for anything important just misplacing it is abysmally low. They'd probably be flayed alive. Scowling a bit more, he let out a small sigh. An unexpectedly useful bit of information would be just what he needed, but this was probably just more files regarding plays and scripts. Maybe if he was really lucky, though, it would be empty. He didn't need all the files on the computer, either, just a few. If he kept it hidden well enough after, maybe he could use it for something else another time.

Might as well see how much space it has, anyway. After a few moments of searching, he eventually found the USB port and plugged in the portable device. Returning to the screen, he waited a second for the computer to connect and opened the drive files.
