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.

Gandalf taps his staff on the ground and erects an invisible shield around the people in the room-- That probably won't mean much against whatever Riki is planning, but that can only be better than nothing.

"I doubt they'll be able to hear us through there." Not much point in locking them up, otherwise.
no subject
A few soft curses follow. "Shiva's tits. If anyone's got real powers down here I suggest fucking blasting that thing open. Maybe look for a vent. There's got to be a way out of here." His voice sounds strangely calm, and he starts in on the search for a new way out, using his hands if he has to in the darkness. "Gandalf, if you can do that, can ya blast the door open?"

"I can try to contact Chidori, but I'm not sure she'll be able to get here in time" Naoya offered, as he was rubbing the necklace he had gotten back from Zo.
Without thinking, he muttered Erusaer Tsymmom hoping it would somehow cause something to happen much like it had with the other.
no subject
"I am maintaining a shield, to protect us from Riki's devices. I will only try if no one else here possesses such power."
Keeping the shield up would be preferable if possible.

"Dammit." she hissed. "What do we do?"
Quick tag before I hop into the shower

"If no one wants or can do, I can use one of my Personas to try to open the door."

The last time she'd tried this had been when Aqua arrived. It was nearly two weeks after her powers had come back and yet...
"I'm going to try something," she said, her voice shaking, but with a note of underlying steel all the same. She had to do something.
She lifted her hand, willing the corridor - however shaky and unstable - to form, and let her or whoever went through just outside the door that Aria and the other chipped units should be waiting at.

"Do what you can," she said, cursing herself for not asking about that vision she had of Ruana in the machine during Zo's carnival.
She began to stalk around the edge of the room to see if there were more vents, pausing only when Xion opened her corridor. Then falls into a battle position as the machines snake through.
"Everyone on your guard!" she shouted. If these things were coming through, what about whoever was on the other side?
no subject
With luck she might be able to stop the ones or parts that weren't all the way through, but it was entirely possible she'd be all too slow - especially with them working to close it themselves.
A horrible thought occured to her "He wanted this! He wanted us trapped in here!"

It just had to be tentacles.
Visions of the first time she dealt with tentacled monstrosities danced through her head and Arturia ran at the thing, ready to swing Caliburn down in an attempt to at least hold the things off.
no subject
<Everybody out of the way!> He yelled in thought-speak, before running forward to try to ram the door.
no subject
The door shudders, but for the moment it holds.

"Thunder Blade!"
Hopefully the blade-shaped bolt of lightning will at least slow the machinery down - especially with Tobias' change of form, the group is too tight for melee, and Arturia is out in front of them anyway.
no subject
"Cu Chulainn!"
The legendary figure thrust out his hand, casting Matarukaja on the group. Everyone within the spell's range would find their attacks, be it magical or physical in nature, hit harder than before.
