[ Once he saves his moon and stars, his bonded omega, Caleb Widogast, he squints at the screen. He'll take a picture of it because he is not touching fantasy technology ever again. ]
A report that this 'Onex' energy from the prologue is destabilizing...? One of the researchers found some means to fix it, but then he mysteriously ceased communications.
[ He'll let Caleb catch up by reading on his phone while he takes a look around. Is there a path further into the compound? Any other weird consoles or tech? ]
There are no other weird consoles or tech, but belatedly, the parts from the three robots Dimitri destroyed look like they might fetch some money. Go pick those up, maybe.
Silber and Streusel, with the power of newfound names, wander off into a vent, before returning with gems. Where did these come from? Who knows. But they can probably also be sold for money later.
But the path continues further into the compound! They might even hear what sounds like someone walking around in that area.]
[Wow we did it. We conquered our debt. Anyway, Caleb has his keen mind and Dimitri can borrow that if he would like, it is impossible for him to forget the text once he's seen it even if it vanishes. So convenient for puzzles like this. He pockets the gems.]
So I suppose we are meant to track this fellow down?
[He will get a little unsteadily to his feel and start walking in the direction of the sound?]
[ I'm sorry, but Dimitri is not picking things like machine parts up, because they have absolutely no sense of value in his medieval mind. Gems, though! Good work, kitties. He gives one of them a slightly confused scritch behind the ear before continuing. ]
It does sound like a grave situation if we do not. We should keep an eye out for that missing child as well.
[ Since Caleb is a little wobbly, Dimitri will walk ahead in case the person(?) waiting for them is unfriendly. Or more laser robots. ]
[I was going to let you proceed peacefully and then I changed my mind. They continue down the hallway... and then they activate a trap.
Suddenly, a giant (metal) boulder comes rolling in from behind them, ready to smush them under its weight if they get caught. Run, lovebirds, run! Also, help your cats.]
[ Jan is lashing out... Dimitri is going to book it down the hall, and grab one of the cats if he needs to? At least they're getting to their destination faster...? ]
[They're getting exercise! Isn't this so much better than running laps around the gym in trial, Caleb.
Eventually, they'll reach the end of the hallway, but there's an intersecting one for them to jump into, in order to get out of the boulder's path. Once they do so, they'll see someone else in the hallway, gaping: a boy who was once a nameless NPC but has since then been upgraded to [throws dart] Yamato.]
W-What was that—!?
[Oh I almost forgot the entire part. Not far from where Yamato is standing what looks to be some kind of... portal, maybe?]
[ Yes, maybe Yamato is the one on this adventure with them. Sakyou and Molly who? Dimitri is just holding poor Silber and looking on gravely. He'll let Caleb deal with Yamato while Dimitri sideeyes this portal. Is there anything around it that can clue them in on what it is? Anything through it? He is probably more familiar with portals than computers, because magic is real. ]
[It is just an ominous blue swirling portal. Yamato is standing in front of it and immediately something that looks suspiciously like crumpled paper behind his back.]
I'm, uh, fine. [casually yeets the paper into the portal. goodbye, paper.] Nothing to see here!
[ ...He's not going to outright suspect Yamato right away. Hopefully that was just an embarrassing love letter to Taichi and not a plot-relevant report. ]
We've been tasked with finding a lost child. And looking into something called Onex, presumably.
