Chapter 406: {Break In} (2/2)

If I wasn't undead, I wouldn't be able to control ht now"

Stella put a hand on Ace's shoulder "It's alright"

"Is it?" said Ace, about to speak more on the abuse he had taken, but he stopped when he saw Stella sht I'd tell you to live and let live? shi+t, that's not ood hero aside fro powers It's because I never ed to put up a pretty personality to rinned "We find the bastard, wehis powers, we keep him around for our boss"

Ace nodded

"It's good we have personal motivators here and all," said Kris "But we have to act quickly" He tapped his goggles, projecting a layout of the circular research roo studied here, but it does show us the general layout The elevators leading down to the Vaults don't work, obviously" Kris shot another acidic look at Falco, and the younghis head down in shame "But look"

Kris pointed at the center of the circle There was another circle there

"Room kinda looks like a boob when you see it like this," said Tox

"Ignoring that," said Kris "The research roo-,"

"The nipple," Tox nodded

"TheObviously, that thing is gone," said Kris "But the rooests that there's only one way it could have gone: down

And it couldn't have taken the elevator, that's for sure considering its size"

Kris round gave way to a sixshape The botto was covered in metal tiles that blended in with the rest of the room's austere decor

"I see," said Diamondback "That should open up and lead down"

"Correct," said Kris "We just need firepower to blast it open"

Everyone looked at Stella again

"Aw, y'all are rinned as she leaped down the depression, hands aglow "Time to break in!"

After Stella blasted apart the floor of the center ring, it revealed a gaping, dark hole leading down

"Magnetic rail strips on either end," said Alan as he peered down "Though deactivated Whatever it was that they were studying, they wanted it out of here fast This whole mechanism is pretty complicated, the type you'd see with Panopticon fast rail"

"What could it be, I wonder?" said Stella "If it wasn't in the files that Cas gave us, then it must be hella important'

"In any case, that's not our priority," said Diamondback "We need the Kryptic first and foremost Kris, does this link to the weapons vault?"

"Not directly, but to power so like this, it has to be in close proximity to established infrastructure Basically, if we blast open a hole at the right depth, we should be able to access the floor the weapons vault is on," said Kris

"So we need another round of explosives," said Diamondback

"Correct," responded Kris

Everyone looked at Stella again

"Okay, now I'ht" Stella shrugged and headed down the hole
