You are inside the Central Control Room, its walls painted a light gray. It is rather spacious inside, much more than it looked from the outside. The room is almost empty, save for drop lights illuminating a desk to the far right of the room, and the console's keyboard. Many screens are lined up next to each other against one wall, all powered, albeit displaying a blue screen with the phrase "vloss" in white text. Also here are Sgt. Arni (60HP), Dr. Able (32HP), Amy Hanley (50HP), Primrose Arni, Taiga Rosetti, Roselaine, an accomplice (50HP), and Darry (60HP).
The broadcast system is powered, but is currently off-air.
There is a large horde of the unliving here. There is a pile of sixty dead bodies here, and thirty-three bodies that have been knocked unconscious or temporarily immobilized. You recognize Commandante Rose (0HP).
- You kneel down and place your pistol on the ground in front of you.
You look at the machine gun, and feel a lump rise to your chest as you hear the faint clanks against the floor, from everyone else leaving their weapons on the ground. You're still going to keep the knife, though. You never know if you'll be needing it later.
- • Papa Dod says "How can I trust that you would not harm any of these people?" (1 minute and 53 seconds ago)
- • Papa Dod glances at Doctor Able. (1 minute and 51 seconds ago)
- • Dr. Able gathers Amy, Roselaine, and Taiga under the console's keyboard, which is wide enough to accommodate them, taking his supplies from the bag, to patch them up and check if they have any serious injuries. He then does the same with you and Primrose. (1 minute and 50 seconds ago)
- • Darry says "RETREAT!" (1 minute and 48 seconds ago)
- • the unliving in the horde attempt to stand upright, saluting Darry. They march out of the control room. (1 minute and 44 seconds ago)
- • Darry drops his hold on the machine gun, allowing it to dangle on his shoulder, before slinging it to his back. (1 minute and 42 seconds ago)
- • Papa Dod retracts the cannons. Steel panels attached to his arms expand again, closing around the cannons to reveal his human-like arms. (1 minute and 36 seconds ago)
- • Papa Dod says "What do you want, to inconvenience me like this?" (1 minute and 36 seconds ago)
- • Darry says "Dude. Are you really that stupid?" (1 minute and 34 seconds ago)
- • Darry takes off his mask, revealing a crude grin on his metallic, but humanoid visage. (1 minute and 33 seconds ago)
- • Papa Dod says "What is this? Darry, you've been decommissioned last year!" (1 minute and 29 seconds ago)
- • Darry says "May's disappearance. Sergeant Czervan's death. The epidemic at Sildi. The death of everyone else in the SPD barring you and me." (1 minute and 20 seconds ago)
- • Darry says "Who do you think is responsible for all of those?" (1 minute and 14 seconds ago)
- • Darry says "How vile, how disgusting! You were created to protect the citizens of Skedhu, not destroy them!" (1 minute and 10 seconds ago)
- • Papa Dod says "What are you trying to prove? Do you have evidence?" (1 minute and 5 seconds ago)
- • Darry says "The evidence has been destroyed. Do you think everyone's stupid? You were holding all these investigations clandestinely, and you didn't want Doctor Able to intervene. You were hiding everything all along!" (50 seconds ago)
- • Papa Dod says "You're not that clean either. YOU were the one who tried to take May in the Underground when she was wandering off!" (41 seconds ago)
- • Darry says "Yes. That was me. Can't I protect innocent citizens from being abducted by rogue robots such as yourself?" (33 seconds ago)
- • Papa Dod says "You speak as if you're not a police robot gone rogue android, yourself." (27 seconds ago)
- • Papa Dod says "You killed many of my men, and the light on the corridors ominously went off. Then the closed-circuit cameras were all disabled when I got to the control room. You even brought Dr. Sazyk with you, to attack us." (12 seconds ago)
- • Everyone else re-emerges from beneath the console keyboard. (11 seconds ago)
- • Papa Dod turns to his accomplice as he releases cables from his back compartment. (10 seconds ago)
- • Papa Dod says "Hook me up to the console again. Show them the recording that I presented to you earlier." (4 seconds ago)
- • an accomplice says "How do I do that? You didn't even give me instructions last time." (1 second ago)
- • Papa Dod closes his eyes and is frozen into position. (just now)
