[Shadow carries the black journal with him as he exits the room. One glance back, and it seems like all the lights had gone out. Power was no longer running through the room, just an abandoned set piece now. Turning back to the hallway, he immediately notices that it no longer looked like the underground base. The walls are smooth, modern with metal and machines built into them. There was a minimalist feel to the area, as if decisions were made to only use the most necessary materials and nothing else.

Blood drips from the arm the other had grabbed, staining the sterile floor as he walks further into the hallway, taking in the sudden shift. The distant footsteps return, along with the voices. Sounds of people going about their business in this place. Some of their conversations, decipherable.

"The girl seems to be doing much better today."
"Are you certain she's really sick? She's always so full of energy and cheerful."
"You really think she's pretending when she's beridden? Really?"
"Ah, y-you're right...I just hope Professor Robotnik's 'Ultimate Lifeform' really stands up to their name and bring us results soon."
"Yes...the ARK would lose much of it's light without her. "


A girl. Sick. A cure.

He stops, their conversation still playing in his mind. Is she...not well, where his other comes from? Were they made for the purpose to save her? Something is caught in his throat, a creeping suspicion that he might already know the result. He wants to be wrong though. Wishing of all wishes, but it's probably pointless now. These events have already come to pass.

He keeps walking, all he can do to keep himself occupied. As he turns the corner, there was another room, more light coming through it. It seem more inviting than the first, but it could be a red herring. Eitherway, the passage seems to end with the room, so he has no other choice, but to enter. He is met with a room even larger than the first. It had large windowed panels on all sides, like an observatory. Outside, a view of space with the Earth below, lights dancing just above it.

Muffled music is playing somewhere in the distance once his other enters the hallway. Following the sound will take them into a room with a pillow fort at it's center, a record player propped near the wall where the source of the music was coming from. Light is flickering from within the pillow fort, the source from an old television that had been setup within. Currently it only shows static, with some old VHS tapes scattered around it. Unlike the previous room, this one did not seem have been worn down by time yet. It as if one has gone back to when the base was still in use.]
