"Hey, see if we can't get one of those fancy models out of here too... I know it sound stupid bu--" Allenby picks up on the footsteps and smiles.

"Looks like we might finally get some action! It's about time!" Her hands are already up and ready for a fight!

[wear_tear_rust]

Angeal heard the same thing that Allenby had and wondered if it was a threat. He couldn't just ignore the sounds either when Rose needed to do her search. He left the woman to her devices along with his camera. "If you see something that would be of interest, take a snap shot of it and I'll process it when we get back."

He stepped from around the desk and toward Allenby and dropped into his ready stance, just in case they needed to fight. If they could manange to keep whatever is out there from getting in through the door's threshold, he was fine with this maneuver. At least the enemy wouldn't attack them from behind and he saw it as an advantage.

"I'm ready."

[urnotafraid]

Sho fell back. There wasn't that much room for a normal bow, but he did have one of those smaller pistol bows. All it took was a simple switch - Zal taking the one bow and handing over the other bow - and he set a quarrel to the string.

"Nice place for an ambush," he commented dryly, glancing over at Rose and shifting slightly so he was more of a target than she was.

[quiltrap]

Rose began quickly snapping pictures of the documents from the drawers, particularity the letters, in case they would prove to be in code or something later. It took her a few minutes to figure out the controls on the device, for it was quite different than the camera's she was used to. But all in all it was a fairly intuitive process. She kept one eye on the door as she worked, long familiarity with dividing her attention allowing her to devote most of her attention to the oncoming footsteps while not slowing down her picture taking.

It was no more complicated than watching kids while doing needlework, after all.

[wear_tear_rust]

Angeal wasn't about to respond. He was more attentive to the footfalls than to the conversation. It was this type of focus he had that had driven him to make the decisions he had. Of course, he had thought to go on ahead but doing so was risky and never amounted to any good in a strange place hence why the teams were formed to begin with.

"I'll draw their attention." He said with a step to the side to give Sho room to fire. He didn't need to be caught by a stray arrow if he could help it.

[melodiesnpcs]

[ The person that opened the door didn't seem to be up for an ambush, even less so for battle. Indeed, all Wedge had hand was a book, and his eyes widened in surprise when he saw what exactly had been causing the noise in that room. ]

The Heroes...? What are you doing here?

[comeoutswinging]

"What are YOU doing here?" she asks, lowering her fists a couple of inches, but, as SHE wasn't familiar with Wedge, any shady movement would be met with a right jab.

"We got... dumped here so we're kind of exploring our options right now." Surely someone else would chime in with something much more informative.

[quiltrap]

Rose just kept casually taking pictures, trusting in the natural tendency of people to focus on the young, active (and clearly threatening) individuals right in front of them rather than the quiet old lady in the background. She knew the others would find out whatever needed to be found out from the man, but this might be their one chance to record this information.

[melodiesnpcs]

Wedge just walks in and puts down his book on the table.

"Artemicion asked Biggs and I to come here to help Jessie and we got separated when the security system activated. Guess he asked you as well, hum?" He sighed. That Moogle is a source of trouble.

[urnotafraid]

Sho lowers his weapon but doesn't take his finger from the trigger. The guy might be who they were looking for but that didn't mean the threat was over. There were the machines that they could hear outside that one door and there were some kind of invaders running about as well somewhere. Otherwise, why would they be pulled into this?

"He said that the building is under attack."

[melodiesnpcs]

"Yeah, Imperial Spies, crossed their paths. Three of them, they don't seem to be affected by the security system." He paused and sat down on the chair in the room, he seemed to be particularly tired, probably from meeting the spies, "They seem to be after what's stored in the containment rooms."

[comeoutswinging]

"Well, which way do we go mister?" Allenby asks, storming over to the desk and slamming her hands down. Her expression made it hard to tell if she was upset with Wedge, or anxious to catch the spies.

"You're one of the guys in charge right? Did they already get what they're after or is there still time to cut them off!?"

[melodiesnpcs]

"Well, the easiest way would be to reach Jessie and ask her to turn the security system off. She's in the control room-- Gotta take the stairs up to the top."

He paused.

"Can't do it myself, meeting these spies took its toll on me."

[wear_tear_rust]

Angeal listened with his arms folded over his chest. The idea of spies in the area rang some serious bells in his head. He arrived here fighting off copies of his best friend and that was enough to put him into a militant frame of mind. "Separating isn't an option. By the way it sounds, someone had let them in."

His brow was creased in thought now that he wasn't in fight mode. The whole situation sounded like sabotage.

[urnotafraid]

"Can you get around the security system?"

Something felt a little off. Sho wasn't sure if it was experience talking or just plain stubbornness, but in a building filled with things that he could hear, it seemed a little odd that this guy was able to get around them was a bit odd. He was pretty sure that they were the only people in this part of the building too, unless he was losing his touch or just had become too paranoid.

"Where were you hiding before you came in here?"

[wear_tear_rust]

Angeal looked to Sho and he saw the logic where Show was going in his line of questioning. His mouth parted just enough to show a subtle hint that he was seeing the same thing that Sho was and that was unnerving.

"Good question." He turned to look at Wedge. "How did you manage to get around without being spotted?" Angeal thought the worst now and stepped behind Wedge to see if anything had followed the official.

[melodiesnpcs]

"I know this place better than you do. There are ways to stay hidden from the mechas."

He sounded slightly annoyed as he replied, but before he could finish the noise of a battle came from outside the room: the noise made by the mechas had grown closer and it seemed someone was now fighting them, apparently magic against technology judging by the noises.

so sorry everyone, ive thoroughly dropped the ball so hard in this thread /)_(\

[grandsummon]

Yuna turned quickly on her heel at the sound of approaching machina, "They're coming!" she raised her staff in anticipation. "Be careful, everyone!"

But you're here now! (\^.^/)

[comeoutswinging]

Allenby probably had words for Wedge and the others, but it was the sound of a fight that distracted her... with a smile.

"Finally! Punching a door just isn't very satisfying!" she chimes, taking up a stance by the door, not wanting to just poke her had out and have it blown off unceremoniously.

[melodiesdungeons]

[ The battle noises remain at a distance and do not grow closer for now-- But judging by the increase in mechanical noise, whoever is casting magic is loosing against the mechas. ]

[grandsummon]

Yuna's brow furrowed in worry as she glanced from the source of the noise, to Wedge -- and finally to the rest of her party. "Maybe... we should split into two groups. One to go with Wedge and... the other to hold off what's out there." Because the longer it drew on, the more of a nagging feeling she seemed to get...

[urnotafraid]

"Split up? In a place that we don't even know where the exits are?"

He wasn't totally convinced that this was the real Wedge. He probably wouldn't be totally convinced even if the other people were found and ten thousand moogles told him otherwise. Sho hated to be put in a position of not knowing anything and that's what if felt like right now, and it was making him annoyed. Usually that meant headed into battle without looking, but he was trying to get over that urge.

"I think we need to stick together, and since Wedge knows this place better, he might actually know of a way to get and around that fighting so we can sneak up on them."

[melodiesnpcs]

"I do, but she's got a point, it would be easier to split up. The only reason I did so well hiding from them was because I was on my own."

[wear_tear_rust]

Angeal's attention was on the battle just around the bend in the distance and it was unsettling. Something within him told him that he should go there to help even though he wasn't keen on the idea of splitting up when they had no idea what was going on other than the obvious.

"I'm with Sho on this one." He looked over his shoulder at Wedge. "One group would have the advantage of your knowledge and without a method of communication, the second team could be put in a situation they can't best. We're not here to hide, we're here to find answers."

[comeoutswinging]

"As much as I want to see what's going on over there... I kind of agree. But remind me... what are we trying to find the answer to? Why we were thrown in here, or, who started all this madness. Is running away really the right choice here?" she proposes, stepping out into the hallway.

"Not to mention, if they're LOSING over there, our guys that is, are you going to be okay just letting them lose?" She squeezes her fist. "If we're splitting up, I'll go that way." Allenby's already taking steps towards the fight, with, or without backup.
