Ex Machina; Infiltration
Characters: Riki and the infiltration team
Setting: administrative levels
Format: any
Summary: Riki's efforts must be sabotaged. Stealth is the name of the game and time is of the essence.
Warnings: psychological horror
Though the chipped unit does not follow, he sees to it that the team advances the rest of the way. At the end of the lit corridor is a set of double doors, heavy-duty polished metal with small windows set into each one.
Through the windows, a massive machine is visible, connected to thousands of holographic screens that are hard to make out at the speed at which they're being manipulated. The machine sits in the center of the room and is networked to four elaborate terminals stationed along the walls via a complex tangle of panels, wires, and towers. Each of these terminals controls its own set of floating screens; the sheer amount of holographic monitors in the room is disorienting, and really, it's hard to tell what's connected to what.
In the chair in the middle of the enormous set-up is Riki, maneuvering all of the screens with the same ease with which most people breathe. His back is to the doors that lead into the room, and for the moment, he is utterly engrossed in his work.

[Riku glances at the floor briefly. The thought of facing her's still a bit daunting, truth be told. Even with their powers restored, it's sure to be an uphill battle, and one that'll take the utmost preparation.]
no subject
[Yukiko doesn't like it, either. It would be bad enough with Dax's powers. It's worse with Jason's. And who even knows what Riki's are?]
It gives me chills to think about it too much. I mean, we don't even really know what kind of powers Riki has...
no subject
I don't want to make an enemy of him, but man, if that ends up happening, I wonder what we can do to even the odds. I'd hope that most people have gotten their real powers by now.
no subject
[Yukiko nods.]
We're going to have to think on our feet, if that happens. It might be the time to try all of those 'this is crazy but it just might work' ideas.
[Another nod.]
I hope the word has gotten out about it to the last bunch of people Zo brought in. I think most everyone who was here before that would have heard the news already.
