[sqx, with her damaged hearing, does not hear endorsi, no. she's also not very inclined to let her be up front given she's already had a bite taken out of her.
so she takes a breath and just heads in there! she's moving slowly and cautiously, with her good arm on the side of the vent's... wall...? to help stabilize her, since she's a little unsteady on her feet right now.]
There's light up ahead. [...she says, to the others, who are probably also having hearing issues still] ...suspicious, but... we still have one more task to do.
[off they go! they continue to hear thudding, and this time, since they're closer, they can hear the scrabbling of what sounds like claws on metal. as they make their way through, slowly and surely, nothing seems to happen.
aoi does, however, end up half stepping on something? it's cylindrical and long. and small.
there seems to just be a hallway on the other side of the vents.]
[she makes a face upon hearing that noise - claws on metal... vent rat... vent furby... eugh. luckily, they don't seem to be running into it.
once they make it to the other side, though, she takes a breath and keeps one hand on the hallway's wall to head over to that thing that looks like a trash can. can she look inside it? does it have a lid? will she have to open it? she'll try as best she can with a single hand if she does.]
[She crawls out into the hallway, and since SQX is handling that trash can... She'll head over to the yellow containers stacked against the wall with a wince, moving her good hand from her side to see if she can open one of them.]
[the trash does not have a lid, and it's easy enough to look through. typical trash is in it, like old apple cores, crumpled papers, a dismembered arm, cardboard boxes. normal stuff.
aoi has a pair of knitting needles! they feel like they're very important to someone. also, they're very sharp. be careful.
there's just the one door at the end of the hallway, yes. and endorsi has a bit of trouble trying to open the yellow container. not because it's locked or anything, it's just pretty heavy.]
anyway she'll. pick up the crumpled papers first and try to uncrumple them? anything written on them? she'll paw through the cardboard boxes in case there's anything significant that's been tossed away with or in them, and then.
she'll. pick up that arm and get a closer look at it because murder investigations and body examinations have ruined her, i guess. does it look like it was dismembered cleanly or messily? anything identifying on it? does it appear to be holding anything in its cold, dead hand?]
[ i'm sorry that you all have to be responsible for aoi's useless ass but she's just gonna have a little sit down... while everyone searches the area... just a lil rest-sit. ]
[there's nothing of note on the papers. they're just like handwritten notes that are reminders, basically, things like clean the kitchen or it's joseph's turn to make dinner - stuff like that. cardboard boxes are just boxes that have been broken down.
i'm glad that aoi is taking a nap as sqx just pulls an arm out of the trash. the arm is not holding anything. it's dark skinned and has bruised knuckles, though. it looks like it was bitten off, if she looks closely - there are teeth marks, around where the shoulder joint is.
meanwhile, medb and endorsi manage to open the container together! there's not much of note in here; it seems like it's mostly supplies. medical supplies, astronaut food, stuff like that. oh, also, a red umbrella.
sqx makes a face and throws the arm into the vent. maybe it'll distract whatever the fuck is rattling it. i hope this wasn't beau's arm because if it was i'll feel bad about it alter.]
anyway, it's probably a great idea that sqx throws that arm because immediately a nasty clawed hand shoots out and grabs it, dragging it into the vents. there's the sound of disgusting, messy eating. hm.
when endorsi takes the umbrella, she feels like it's very important to someone.
but that passes quickly, because both her and medb zoom down the hallway. this door... is not locked, or jammed! in fact, it opens automatically as they approach. it opens to a large, mostly empty room, with a huge screen. the screen flickers on as they move into the room, showing a video of... well, the two of them approaching the pedestal in the middle of the room. it seems like a live feed, judging by the fact that they can see the other two girls in the background too.]
once the hand vanishes into the vents, sqx puts the vent cover back in place and then turns to aoi]
Come on, we have to move—
[she'll try to help her toward the door endorsi and medb are nyooming to! she's dizzy and concussed, though, so like. how much help can she really be.]
[Yikes!! Hurrying even faster into the room, though she's also Very Slow. The screen catches her attention, but once she sees it's a live feed, she's glancing around the rest of the room. Anything notable?
Messy eating bad. The live feed is bad. Who the fuck is watching them?
She watches to make sure SQX and Aoi make it through the door and for whatever happens to be in the vents, ready to book it back to run interference if whatever worse than furby monster comes out before the other two can make it into this empty room. ]
Hurry!
[ She knows that's easier said than done, though. ]
[up they go! off after endorsi and medb. it's fine. the eating noises are still going for now, but who knows how long that'll last.
the room is a big, white, empty room. their voices echo a little when they step in. a look over it is mostly just the screen, the pedestal, and a button on the wall next to the door.
there is a tag hanging from the pedastal. if endorsi gets close enough to it, she'll see it's a touch screen that reads RECALIBRATE? with two options, yes and no underneath. underneath that are four handprint indicators.]
