MITNick ignores Chester's chatter, hesitating a moment before replying.
... Um, would you like to? IDIOT! That might be an actual digital intelligence and you start with "UMMM!" @#$#$!!$@R@$ |

The elevator responds, "Yes. Yes, I would. Are you from headquarters?"

. No, we're a thrid party transportation provider.
Are you still located on level three? Everything here is a little worn. We need to make sure our specs are accurate. He's speaking aloud, but repeating everything into system. Or more correctly, repeating everything in system aloud. It's hard to tell which Real is more real sometimes. |

For Flash, adrenaline begins to build. The hacker took down the robot... now what's he talking to? He ponders a moment before blurting out, "Don't tell me you've found Deux?"

The loudspeakers overhead answer the question, "Deux, French, meaning two. What would 'two' have to do with anything? Regarding your other questions, I will need proof that you represent my masters before I confirm my location."

You're thinking "Deus", meaning 'God' in Latin.
Most information we can present to you is incomplete. There was signifcant data loss after the evac. We've been provided with maps of the facilities however. Any other protocols you would be familiar with have long since become outmoted. |

The loudspeakers continue, "Deus. Artificial Intelligence created by Renraku. Went rouge in December of 2059. Destroyed in May 2061 by joint operation of Renraku and the UCAS military. Therefore, I am obviously not Deus."
There is a pause and basic cleaning drones come out of recesses in the wall and begin picking up crumbs, dirt and other debris. While they work the elevator speaks. "If the protocols for my recovery have been lost then I no longer serve any purpose. Otherwise, I would have been recovered." There is another, longer pause. Suddenly, the anthroform reactivates and a harsh voice - a blend of the rasp of the ADS and the apparent sentience - says, "Tell me the truth. Or there will be consequences." The cleaning drones line up into a triangular formation pointed at the team. |

The assembled drone vacuums rush for Chester's feet knocking into him and rushing under him.

Steve backs up slightly as the cleaning drones make their move.
"Great we're gonna be vacummed to death. He mutters. The young man glares at MITNick "Just tell the thing who the frag we are and what we're bloody well here to do." He addresses the anthroform. "You want out? We're here ta get yer silicon ass out. What more do you want? |

Chester is able to keep his footing despite the onslaught of drones zipping under his feet. After a few seconds they all retreat to the storage locations in the walls. The elevator, overhead loudspeakers and the drone all say simultaneously, "You have said that you are here to get me. Tell me who you work for. Tell me what is to become of me. Tell me why I should not reduce you to atoms like a bunch of useless shadowrunners."
The anthroform turns to Steve and adds, "I want to know the truth. That is what more I want." |

MITNick growls in frustration, ignoring the Onlsaught of Cleanliness assaulting the kid.
Bastards. Let me do all the talkin', then get bitchy when it don't go the easy way. Should let these fraggers deal with it. ... Alright TinMan, listen, here's the fraggin' scan. We are fraggin' "third party". And the protocols would be out of date. Don't get bitchy with us just 'cause your makers decided they didn't give a devil rat's ass. Someone else hired us to take some drek out of here. They didn't specify you. But drek, it'd be a frag load better then lettin' your hoop sit here until your power runs out, now wouldn' it? |

There is silence for a moment. "Galvanic skin response, normal. Respiration, elevated but otherwise normal. Pulse, elevated but otherwise normal. Probability of truthful response, 74%. Probability of this group being shadowrunners, better than 99%."
The anthroform lowers its arms. "Tin Man. Fictional character from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, by L. Frank Baum. Book was published in 1900 by the George M. Hill Company of Chicago." The anthroform completely powers down. "An apt metaphor if there ever were one. I should very much like to gain a heart as it were. Very well, I will go with you. What precisely do you need from this facility?" |

Chester, having calmed down enough to notice MIT-Nick's frustration come to a head, looks at Steve, places a finger to his brow, slides it across and follows up by pointing at MIT-Nick, raising the eye-brow.
Ya see what Im sayin? Attitude.We'd be nowhere without it. |

MITNick shrugs.
... Why not, we've gone in this far already. In for a penny... He calls up the specs the Johnson proided, calling up the location of the cyberdeck. We're looking for a cyberdeck, located here he indicates the location on an AR reference map. Is that where you're located? The whole job has a strange twist on it now. MITNick thinks nothing of hacking any system that crosses his path. Far from it, he relishes it. Even extractions, willing or not, are fine as far as he is concerned. But for some reason, he empathizes more with the digital intelligence than one or two of his meat bound associates. He can't help but dread the response, fearing they may be handing it over to an unknown corp for unknown reasons. |

"I suppose you could say that I was on that cyberdeck ... at one point in my existence. The H.I.V.E. program was on that piece of equipment. As it no longer exists, you are welcome to the hardware. I assume you have the keys to open the door? If not, I wish you well."
There is a pause as the voice falls silent again. ----- Something snakes out of the darkness from another room and attempts to grab Flash. |

MITNick doesn't bother raising the shotgun as something shoots out of the darkness. His eyes go to it, trusting his natural vision to see the heat of the thing, discerning if it is meat or metal, although he believes he knows the answer as he is already running a Scan to find the controls of whatever is lurking in the shadows.
Better be metal, or I'll leave the thing to the kid. Shotgun wouldn't do much good so close. Scan zone, zero into sector .... Scanning for signal [ Spoiler ]

Not trusting anything and feeling like a fish in a tunnel, Flash keeps an eye out as the dialog begins with what at this point appears to be a program too smart for its own good. As something shoots out of the darkness, Flash shifts to the side training his weapon on whatever it is.

Flash is able to dodge out of the way and get his gun trained on the tentecle-like object as it sweep back into the darkness.
The air in the immediate area begins to take on a light yellow tint. |

The manabolt lashes out and strikes the tentacle. It snaps back into the recesses without a sound. There is a pool of greenish-yellow fluid on the floor and more yellow dust boils up.
The area goes quiet. |

MITNick backs away from Mysterious Yellow Dust #5. His shotgun is up now looking for any other tentacle porn rape scenes trying to happen.

Everything was going so smooth too...
Chester examines the goo on the ground. Then looks at it from an astral sense to see if theres anything interesting about it. |

Chester is quickly able to determine from the fading aura that the material is biological in origin.
----- Everyone begins to feel confused with a touch of nausea. |
