The Rises
While considered less fortunate compared to the rest of the residential sector, the citizens of the Rises are a proud bunch. The City Planning Committee may have built each identical apartment building to maximize space, but this hasn't stopped the landlords from building extended patios, common areas or even painting their buildings loud colors just to show how different they were. Small conversions were made to the buildings to allow for community laundromats, connivence stores, and small food joints. This erratic but community centered focus attracted a whole other sort to the district. Occupying a court of condos in the centre of the district are those with a little extra money, but whom desired to escape the tyrannical Homeowner's Association. Around the district sewer access covers can be found, and since most of the sanitation workers live around here nobody has touched them.

Arturo makes his way from the commons, making a beeline like he's guided by an invisible force. He knows someone is coming from Snow Fortress Park.
He stands around the corner of an apartment building waiting for Bleu to come walking down the street. Not for an ambush per say, he just doesn't trust the outsider yet.

"Hah we're here Brad... Brad? What are you doing way back there?"
Bleu proceeded to walk down the residential section
"hmm no damage here either." Brad had tripped way in the distance he sat there rubbing his scraped knee.

Just normal people. They won't be a threat, Arturo thinks. Maybe they can help me.
He closes his eyes and calls out. "Hello. I come in peace but I have a gun and can defend myself if I have to."

"I don't want to start anything I'm just here for research purposed Brad back there couldn't defend himself if he wanted to and I'm not dumb enough to pick random fights with people thats how you end up dead. Now why don't you come out tell me what your doing here maybe we can be of use to each other?"

Arturo steps into view, gun out but not aiming it at anyone. "Sorry, I'm a little jumpy. I was....away....when it happened and I don't know where every body went. You're a researcher? But you're not from here, I don't recognize you. Why did you come?"

"You're from here?" Bleu exclaimed "Well technically I'm from another dimension but i don't want to talk about that" Bleu scratched his head "I came to learn of what happened here. Everyone except you it seems has disappeared without a trace"
Brad had gotten up and had just started walking toward Bleu.

"Another dimension?" Arturos eyes go wide. "I mean you outsiders are so weird..." He doesn't seem to have a problem saying things openly about foreigners.
"I was out of town in the snow. I was alone and when I came back everyone was gone. I don't know what happened better than you do."

"You didn't notice anything strange before you left? No probably not. Maybe we could find some information in the library I assume this city has one?"

"Yea, back the way I came," Arturo says and points to the Commons. University Dome has alot of useful books....I don't know how helpful it will be but we can take a look."
He holsters his gun and starts moving. Motioning for Bleu to follow, "this way."
He heads towards the Commons.

arrow Snow Fortress Park
A team of twelve or so robots of various builds and makes rushed in from the snowy park. Some were floating, some were bipedal, some had treads. Large, small, and all sorts in between. The only really unifying characteristic was they were all CAT yellow with a few instances caution stripes, and of course decals that identified them as "Alpha through Epsilon" property.
They paused as they calculated an ideal path.

They didn't have to wait for long, their target was close.
The twelve of them moved into the good part of town.

 "Samantha Browning." That was her simple reply. No business card, no stating of what she was, or how important. It was more who she saw herself as. She was walking briskly enough to keep up with him, but no faster. Strange though, with her hair so primly back, and the glasses on, her attitude seemed much less cozy as well. "Your leg any better now that Joseph has patched it up?" She had noticed he was walking better than he should have with her quick patch job, and figured that Joseph had patched him up a bit.

"Yeah. Some little robot thing, a bit of morphine or some such, and I'm not sure what it is if not a plastic plug in my leg. But it seems to work well enough, so I'm gonna leave it be until we're out of here."
If he hadn't been walking, he would have offered a hand.
He glanced around the area as he passed through, not particularly concerned, but taking it all in and watching out for danger. There was no expectation of spotting it though. In this place he figured that you'd hear something first.
"Kael, anyway."
The grin on his face started to fade as he almost followed that up with something more, but instead he left the words for now and kept on walking.
