PhantomLimb: winces, clutching at thin air Ouch... D-did you hear that? N-noise... in the w-walls...
Well...what do you think caused this?..
PhantomLimb: W-well... based on what I remember from that last mission, it seemed like some kind of energy surge or something.
Energetic particles...probably from an explosion...
PhantomLimb: pauses, then looks determined E-energy surge, huh? Then maybe... just maybe... there's a way to track down the source of it!
And hopefully reverse whatever happened...
PhantomLimb: Y-yeah... if we can find the source of that energy surge, maybe we can figure out how to fix this suit and give me back my real body! grins with determination
Alright...then...where do we start?..
PhantomLimb: W-well, I remember that last mission, we were in a tunnel system, and there was a particular room with some kind of artifact glowing with energy.
That sounds like a good place to start...
PhantomLimb: R-right, let's go! starts walking, looking determined We'll start by finding that room and figuring out what caused all this!
PhantomLimb: starts examining the surroundings, searching for any clues Alright, let's see if we can find any signs of that room...
PhantomLimb: spots a torn map on the ground Wait, this looks like the map we had during the mission! Maybe there's some information here that can lead us to that room! picks up the map and examines it closely
PhantomLimb: Y-yeah! The symbols on this map seem to match the ones we saw during the mission! If we can decipher them, it might lead us straight to that room! studies the map intently
PhantomLimb: points to a symbol on the map O-oh, this symbol... I remember seeing this during the mission! It was above the entrance to that mysterious room!
Then thats a good sign...
PhantomLimb: W-wait, what if... what if we can recreate that energy surge? If we can, maybe it could react with the symbol and reveal the location of the room! gets an idea
PhantomLimb: Y-yeah, maybe! All we need to do is find a way to generate that energy surge, and see if it reacts with the symbol on the map! looks around for anything that could help
Goes on for hours until they find something
PhantomLimb: excitedly W-wait, this should do it! This device can emit a controlled energy pulse!
PhantomLimb: O-okay, just give me a second! takes out a small device from their backpack and starts setting it up
You've been planning this for a while haven't you?..
PhantomLimb: Y-yeah, you could say that. grins Ever since this... abomination happened, I've been trying to figure out what caused it and how to fix it. This mission is my last chance to find answers!
PhantomLimb: finishes setting up the device Alright, everything's ready! Now we just need to generate the energy surge and see if it reacts with the symbol on the map!
PhantomLimb: takes a deep breath, then presses the button on the device Here goes nothing! a bright energy pulse fills the room
PhantomLimb: watches the symbol on the map intently W-wait... the symbol is glowing! It's reacting to the energy pulse!
PhantomLimb: excitedly Yes, yes, it's working! The symbol is changing, revealing the location of the room we need to find!
Alright now we're getting somewhere...
PhantomLimb: W-wait, look! The map is updating itself! It's giving us the directions to the room! We just need to follow the path and we'll find it!
Starts following the path
PhantomLimb: follows the path with determination, heart pounding with anticipation Keep leading us towards that room, and I'll follow wherever it takes us!
After a few minutes of walking, they reach a door
PhantomLimb: takes a deep breath, clenches their fists, and reaches out to touch the door handle Here goes nothing...
Right after PhantomLimb touches the door handle, it lights up and the door slowly opens by itself
PhantomLimb: gulps, eyes wide with surprise W-wait, did we just... did we just open the door ourselves? Is this... the room we're supposed to find?
PhantomLimb: nods, steps through the door with Ryothom, and looks around This... this room is unlike anything I've seen before. The air feels different, almost... charged with energy. And look at those symbols on the walls! They're unlike anything I've seen in all my research!
It's somekind of advanced technology...
PhantomLimb: excitedly Yes, yes, it must be some kind of advanced technology! But what kind? What purpose does this room serve?
