    "Not to complain but shouldn't the facility start it's maintanence cycle? I know having this much overgrowth is good for the environment but it'll be hard to navigate through it." CJ stated as he tries driving through the moss covered road which gives the rover some difficulty gripping.

    Carmine only raised her shoulders, "well looks like most of the facility is still rebooting, I guess the system takes a while to react to the emergency protocol." she says while sitting horizontally on her virtual armchair with her legs rocking back and forth while reading a magazine.

    "You know we've got clearance to enact an override since we're in the senior staff. It might help so we can get things done faster." CJ mentioned though Carmine only looked at him with a lazy look on her face then goes back to flipping pages. With a slight look of defeat the road ahead is clear enough for the auto-nav to take the wheel. While the rover drives itself towards the spatial tunneling section, CJ scoots over to the passenger seat and grabbing Carmine off the dashboard.

    CJ opened up a window on his P.A.D. and started to see how much of the facility is still rebooting.

    The rover begins to come to a halt as their path was blocked by a barricade.
    "Why'd we stop?" Carmine asked as she uses the P.A.D.s cam to see what's in the way.

    Stuck at a blocked path and surrounded by dense forest the young engineer and his A.I. assistant gaze around their surroundings.

    Stepping out of the rover with Carmine at one hand CJ takes a look at the map as they're within the area the ST section resides. Attempts at bringing down the barricade via P.A.D. fails as he gets Carmine to bypass the security protocol but with little success.

    "Keep trying Carmine, I'll try to see if there's a terminal closeby to get the barricade down." CJ says as he puts Carmine back in the rover and begun looking around for a maintenance terminal.

    "Usually I just sit by munching on snacks but oh well." Carmine says with her arms raised and shaking her head as if she didn't had a choice as she attempts to do what she was asked to do.

    Choosing not to listen, CJ continues his search. After a while later CJ discovers a fully decomposed body only the corpse doesn't look like a worker or employee of the facility as it wore medieval armor. Kneeling down he searched the body finding a tier 4 security card in the fallen footsoldier's hand and picked it up but found no ID on the dead corpse.

    "Hmm maybe someone must've had a costume party a long time ago, though it feels heavier than a fake one, oh well, now there should be a terminal right around, there you are." after finding a terminal he used I.D. card to open the panel and seeing that the emergency lockdown was the reason why the barricade was up. Lifting the lockdown, he returns back to the rover and with the road ahead is clear and with a slightly unattentive assistant watching a re-run of a tv series.

    Looking through the leaves and focusing his gaze at the center of the facility, CJ watches a large crate hauler moving large containers along the skyrails from the supply section to robotics. "Wonder if she's still up there, maybe I should pay him a visit one of these days." he thought to himself.

    Continuing onward to the ST section and sitting in the passenger seat looking at the scenery, Carmine gets a message as she takes a look at who's sending it.

    "Hey CJ, I'm getting a strange text coming from outside the gate." Carmine states as she gets up on her feet and looking at the text more thoroughly.

    Looking at Carmine he leans forward, " What does it say?" he asked before picking up his P.A.D.

    After showing him the strange message, he seemed curious but figured it must've been from a long time. But Carmine was able to pull an image from the main gate of who's sending it as CJ's curiosity piqued. "Well would you look at that." he commented, "a person wearing medieval armor which doesn't look fake." he stated as the person appears to be hitting the gate doors and pleading for help.

    "Should we take a detour?"
