Before Li could respond, a figure crept up behind Samuel and Chris. The man took a puff of his cigar before speaking.
"Out? One cannot simply get out of Remnant Rock. Now, do not cause any more trouble than we need to by kindly going back to your cells and closing the door behind you."
The man took a final puff, then dropped it, stomping it out.
"Who even are you?" Chris asked. "Because I find it highly impossible that there's no way out of here."
Samuel ignored Chris's curiosity, and looked at the man without fear. "We'll be out before the day ends - I said this before. "
"Sure ya will - Inmate #4279." Just then, two more armed guards appeared behind them. "Nobody has ever gotten out under my leadership and nobody ever will. One more time. The easy way or the h—"
Several loud sounds of sparks began to reverberate through the loud hall, breaking the prison's eerie silence. At once, as if a generator failed, the lights that illuminated the main prison hall slowly began to shut themselves off. First, the prison's top light - then, the lights of each level. Only the dim lights that could be seen through cell windows lit up the room.
So, you're alive. Go figure. Samuel looked to Wen Li and Chris, nodding. Fontaine had explained this would be the most important part of Primo Victoria - they knew what had to be done. Praying that the dark room would be enough to shield them from bullets, they quickly diverged from the armored guards. The sound of gunfire would not impede them from opening every prison cell in sight.
Slash, slash, slash.
The sound of swiping could be heard in the still air, as the light and monitors of the room shut off. Backing up, Atticus looked around the small breaker room, the knife still in his hand. To him, it was somewhat claustrophobic - in each corner, four glass chambers protected a conglomeration of wires and processors. Monitors surrounded the room, and a collection of generators stood in the center.
The lights continued to shut off, and Atticus looked at two men that lay on the ground. After exiting the train station, he and the others made their way through Remnant Rock's lower facilities to the breaker room. Fontaine had seemingly vanished, opting instead to search for any future threats from Alchemilia. After catching the two off guard, subduing them was simple - though their motionless bodies served as a reminder of what he had become.
The room was now completely covered in darkness, with Atticus and Marshall having no way to see.
Now to shut off communications. Come on. Think. What was it Mr. Li said? Oh. "Simple." Right. Marshall grabbed a switch and then pushed a button, cutting off all communications and transmissions. "Atticus?"
"Yeah, Marshall?" Atticus answered in pitch black.
"We should have packed a fucking flashlight."
"No shit, sky is blue," Atticus snapped, folding the knife and stuffing it down his pocket. "Find the wall and use it to guide yourself out of here, it won't be long before they figure out what we've done."
Now outside of the room, Marshall placed his hands on the smooth walls of the building, looking for a possible exit. "Do you even know where to go from here? You have a map?"
"No, I don't have a map," Atticus replied, following the wall as well. "I wonder where Fontaine is."
