Wikey whistled silently as he glanced back at the room. Time to move on to new horizons. He reached for the door release carefully with a smile as the door slammed open.

Screaming a mime scream, Wikey darted underneath a table. He made invisible box shapes around him frantically in the hopes that this would do something to ward away evil. Then he paused and glanced up to see who had arrived.

Helios and Klaus stared him dead in the eyes. Wikey leapt up and banged his head on the table. Rubbing it with a wince he did a forward roll and leapt up again. He scratched his head and then waved at Helios and waved at Klaus. He proferred a hand to them both to shake. They just stared.

Wikey threw his arms to his side and shook his head. He walked over to the corner, smiled, and began making invisible walls absent-mindedly.

Klaus and Helios looked at each other rather awkwardly and coughed. Malarkey stumbled in with his cane slowly and went over to the mime who stopped his invisible stage show and looked thoughtfully at the hobbling man.

"Hello Wikey." Malarkey said calmly. "Long time no see."

Malarkey proferred his right arm and shook Wikey's hand firmly, whilst still leaning on the cane with his left. Klaus scratched his head and thought for a moment.

"So..." He said awkwardly. "How about you tell us where you've..."

Wikey smiled.

"Okay..." He tried again. "Why don't you show us through cleverly placed actions the exact sum of your journey so far?"

Korru sat in the corner miserably. He hated mimes. Wikey smiled and began to make obscure shapes in the air before motioning like a bird and sitting on the floor happily.

Helios looked sidelong at Bagshot and muttered. "This is going to take a while." He said miserably.

ublazrob was a little pre-occupied flicking through the notes on the table.

"When you're all done playing silly little games, maybe you should look at something actually useful?" He said bluntly.

The room was some kind of disused laboratory. The air was pungent and green. It flowed with a strange gas and there were indeed a series of notes on the table. Randolph stood centre floor and read out the notes with a cough. Ublazrob watched intently.

"Phase 4: 5 new ones show promise...will keep a close eye on them..The 5 are v. def. candidates project harrow..."

"Phase 7: Group F find gun cache...not long before it starts...when it does the chaos will ensue. Ensured all are full armed for the calling...just 8 more phases to go..."

Randolph frowned.

"That's it for that sheet. There are more though."

Raking barged over and snatched the second sheet from Randolph's hands with a devious grin.

"Toxin formula perfected. 72 hour effect confirmed. Much better than MOS formula which v. ineffective."

"One of them transforms. Curious. Would v. much like to witness after-effects of that."

Raking stared trying to figure out the ins and outs of the notes and tossed them on the floor absent mindedly. Randolph continued with another sheet.

"Won't make it beyond Charon in my eyes..." the rest was crossed through.

He flipped the page over.

"Effects of Inferno monitor day 57. Subject is now feral. Wants little more than to kill and maim..."

"Went down to Chamber D this morn. Watched souls bask in cavelight. One tried to consume body but hard to possess the dead..."

Mercator stood on his own, glancing at the lone binder laid out on the table. It had the header of "Dr. Patterson."

There was absolutely nothing inside.

Everybody was a little nervous except for Happy. Happy just smiled at everyone.

Wellity wellity wellity if it isn't Wikey

"Phase 7: Group F find gun cache...not long before it starts...when it does the chaos will ensue. Ensured all are full armed for the calling...just 8 more phases to go..."

By the way Phase 15 was when we all got knocked out.

ahaha. Man. Wikey. It's good to see you again buddy. We were prepared for the worst.

Sorry you got stuck in that box, but I'm glad you made it out fine.

Would like to know what you've been up to this whole time, as best as you can tell it.

Did Roth get teleported?

also, this whole flavour exchange was gold Willis, GOLD

that was the other group.... what?

and theyve been here before if i recall.

Would like to know what was here when they were.

Interesting. It's Wikey.

not exactly the badass gun toting showdown I was hoping for, tbh.

He's probably not very active since he's just been wandering around alone the whole time.

Though I would love to know what happened to Roth.

clearly Roth hit that Teleporter trap that took Rayne away. the trap reset when we left the room.
