Tartarus - Containment Facility

|
Well, what's he got up his sleeve this time? ...... |

|
............ |

|
..................... |
Nothing's happening. | Rather quiet, isn't it? |

|
Perhaps he's no longer in a position to play games with us. |

|
It's possible. This silence is most unsettling. The Phantoms in the cages are showing no signs of activity either. |

|
What if we just blasted through the door with the Thunder Spear? |

|
We could, but the Thunder Spear is our trump card. As long as there's a chance we could face the Titan again, we don't want to play it prematurely. Plus, there's only one path here. If we don't lock up the facility when we leave... The Phantoms are likely to break out of their cages and attack us from behind. |

|
Oh, yeah, good point... |

|
The researchers gave us an emergency manual with our map. And according to the manual... There's an emergency key card stored in a security box within the facility. Assuming Ortho hasn't rigged this place with one of his pranks, it could still be here. |

|
Then let us check for it. |

|
Where could that security box be... Ah! Vil, look! |

|
The box is destroyed, and its contents have been removed. |

|
Maybe Ortho got here first after all. Then again...it looks kinda like some giant beast just smashed it. And there are gashes on the box, with blot all around them... |

|
So did a Phantom steal the key? |

|
We've encountered one smart enough to disguise itself as a human to try and deceive us. Perhaps this one wants to use the key and get out of this room. |
I don't see a Phantom, though... | None of the cages look open to me. |

|
Wait... Do you think it's hiding and watching us? |

|
Possibly. It could be waiting to catch us unawares and take us down before it escapes. |

|
I fear our only option is to check the cages one by one. |

|
We're at a clear disadvantage, considering we're the ones out in the open. MC. Epel. Stay behind me. |

|
Yes, sir! We've got your back! |

|
...Let's move. |
