[b][u]Part Two[/u][/b] Everyone is standing around the table. Skye steps up before them and holds out a hand. From it appears a pale blue, glowing orb. It floats up above the table to illuminate a yellowed piece of paper in the center of its surface. It is a hand-drawn map of the laboratory, where Errol is expected to be found. Skye crosses her arms self-consciously. It is quite easy to see how nervous she is. Whether it is because of the situation at hand, or not being used to having a group watching her, or a bit of both, it is difficult to tell. Her eyes drop to her feet as she clears her throat and opens her mouth to speak. “W-well, I just want to… you know, it’s really… I mean…” She pauses to give a steady sigh. Then she rests her hands on the table, and lifts her gaze, a more confident air about her. “I want to begin by saying thank you for being so willing to come here. Most of you offered to help before I could even ask, and none of you… none of you hesitated. I’m genuinely honored to know you. I don’t think I could have asked for a better company. “Now, I’m pretty sure that everyone knows this, but just to clarify, the goal is to disarm Errol and capture him, not to kill him. I… have a better understanding of what to say, and I want to talk to him at least one last time. This is a map of the laboratory he and I drew out a long time ago.” She gestures to the paper in front of her. “I’m going to be honest, I don’t know exactly what to expect from him, or what kind of improvements he’s made to his Atoms. He has worked on his Atoms here…” she points to the room marked with question marks “…and that could be a place to start. But there’s still a possibility he’s somewhere else, so we will have to be on guard.” Her finger glides up to the largest room on the map with a circle in its center. “We have to be careful to avoid the… eh… really-big-core-that-could-explode-room. We have to be careful regardless, but the core in that room is what powers everything there, and as far as we know it’s never been turned off, so it’ll be unstable. “Chiara has a tool that could help us disable the Atoms and leave Errol open.” She nods to the named one. “The rest of us will have to make sure she has the chance to use her Nanotech until we have the opportunity to get close. But other than that, we are basically flying by the seat of our pants. “It’s a six mile walk up to the mountain, so there will be plenty of time to ask questions on the way if you have any. If everyone is ready, we should get moving as soon as possible.” The archer tucks her helmet beneath her arm, hooks her bow over her shoulder, and waits for one last signal from each of her allies to show that they are prepared.

  • “I think you’re right.” Skye sends in her final two of her orbs inside the room ahead. They reveal a damaged machine on the far side against the wall, in between two alcoves whose floors were covered by platforms of glass and metal. On the far right is a desk, strewn with papers and tools.

  • “Errol must have continued working on his Atoms in here.” With a wave of her hand, Skye causes the orbs to move further to the left of the room, where the rattling is coming from. Their glow reveals a blank wall with an air vent about a foot below the ceiling. It could be normal to hear this type of sound from a vent, if something was caught inside it, but there is no air flowing from it, and thus no known reason for it to be the source of the sound.

  • “It’s not the air, so what else could it be? Do these atoms make any sort of noise?”

  • “They make a sort of humming when they’re all together, but if they’re in the vent they could be hitting the walls... let me get a quick look.” Skye steps up onto a small metal crate that gives her just enough height to peek into the vent from a hopefully safe distance. She is quick to step back down and glance between Dain and Dally. “I saw a few beads, but they’re moving away from us.” As Dally suggests to block the vent, underneath the platform closest to her and Skye is a little bright red flashing light. Even though Dain might not be very knowledgeable in technology, it’s possible from his living in Offtopic that he could know that it might be the flashing of some kind of explosive.

  • Skye and Dally look down at the flashing light. “That’s definitely an explosive,” the archer replies, her tone becoming more alarmed. Blaze’s voice echoes through the hall, announcing that he has Errol’s scent, and a rapid beeping suddenly emits from the bomb. “Quick! Move out of the room!”

  • *Dain starts to run, albeit slower then the others since he is slow and so he’d take most of the blast.*

  • Dally grabs Skye and pulls her out of the room in a split second. Despite his speed, Dain isn’t far behind. The bomb bursts, briefly filling that side of the room with fire. Though everyone escaped safely, since he was the last out, the blast could be enough to make him lose his footing.

  • *The Not so nimble dwarf goes tumbling to the ground, and pushes himself back up a few moments later.* “Everyone alright?”

  • Skye brushes herself off, and coughs up some smoke. There doesn’t seem to be a scratch on either her or Dally. “Andrew’s cross, aye,” she replies, a little shaken. “I think we’re all right. Are you?”

  • Skye lets out a sigh of relief, but she doesn’t give herself much time to relax. She turns back in the direction where Blaze’s voice was heard and starts running. “Come on! We have to get moving if Blaze knows where Errol is!”

  • Once Skye makes sure everyone is accounted for, she turns to a corridor left of the one she, Dain, and Dally has just exited. Inside it are the silhouettes of two men in a struggle. Her eyes widen under the light of her orbs. “Blaze!”

  • [spoiler]^Location update![/spoiler] Errol hears the footsteps of the dwarf behind him, and whips around with a narrow sword in hand. He furrows his brow. “Andrew’s cross, I didn’t think she’d bring a dwarf with her,” he says to himself as he adjusts his stance.

  • *The dwarf thrusts the axe forwards towards Errols sword arm to try to force it out of his hand.* “Aye, ye got a problem with dwarfs Atom boy?”

  • Errol steps to the side to clear himself of the axe’s path. A frustrated grunt escapes his lips in the darkness. “Of course not, I was simply looking forward to fighting someone... taller.”

  • *As he sidesteps the dwarf pulls the axe and swings it the direction he moved.* “I be tall enough to take ye down. Or we could just not fight and ye could surrender.”

  • “Surrender? Not when I’m so close!” He raises his sword to block the attack, and twists it in such a way as to push the axe away from himself and give him enough time to turn and run deeper into the lab.

  • “He’s getting away! Probably to get his technological advantages and make this a much harder fight!” *Dain gives chase, trying to jab with the massive axe if he can get within range.*

  • Skye catches up to Dain, and follows alongside him in pursuit of her brother. Her eyes widen, and her pace suddenly quickens. “No, no! You’re right, we have to stop him!”
