"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.

[melodiesnpcs]

He sighed and shook his head.

"I'm not in any state to fight, not any more. But you're right, you can't let them die again the machines; whoever it is currently fighting."

[grandsummon]

Her two-toned eyes flashed Allenby's way, gripping her staff tighter, there was only the slightest of nods that she gave the other woman. If she took off, Yuna would follow. Anywhere you go, the words played on her mind.

They would find someway to meet up again. If everyone did their part, then it should work out, definitely...! And leaving someone behind just -- wasn't an option for her.

[wear_tear_rust]

His head was already looking toward the direction of the fight and his mind was set to helping out his fellow Heroes. There was no way he was going to let them fight a losing battle and so he resolved to look toward Allenby and Yuna with a nod.

"I'm going." He wasn't about to let them go into the fray alone and if he can offer a hand to protect the healer, that was exactly what he was going to do.

[melodiesdungeons]

[ If they do head into the corridor, the battle noise will grow closer as they leave the office; it would appear whoever is fighting is outside of the offices area, a door to the north leading to them. ]

[urnotafraid]

"You don't hafta fight. All you need to do is point us the way out."

He said that as a parting shot even as he steps out after the other people. They were so going to get their asses handed back to them because how can they tell it was people like them? Three agents that could get around the machines? Are they really sure of that or just believing the word of someone that could be a plant just as much as this being a trap.

But fine. Whatever. He'll just shoot arrows and hang back unless he needed to do something else. Maybe he'll get some bullets as well as some money in this dump. It would be nice to use something he actually was comfortable with.

"If we die, I'm gonna kick your asses," he grumbled and switched the pistol bow for a normal one.

[wear_tear_rust]

The skepticism didn't escape Angeal. Genesis and Sephiroth were often the same way but now wasn't the time to reminisce about old times even if Sho looked a lot like his best friend.

The sense of urgency hit him with each step through his run. He wasn't about to let Yuna or Allenby fall if he could help it and Yuna seemed like she knew what she was doing as a healer. They needed the support.

"Allenby, you and I will not engage until we know for certain what we're up against. We'll look first then go in. Sho has the rear with his distance and Yuna will stay with him." He was speaking more from a common sense view point than a militant one.

"Our goal is not to die." Angeal added with a bit of emphasis.
