As they step out Boran hands them both a red crystal necklace and they put them on venturing to the city, Kit looks around and gasps,

"Wow, this place is beautiful" Kit's eyes shine and Clair nods pointing to one side of the city,

"Okay Kit, you and Boran go investigate that side I will investigate this side, I guess we're looking for some sort of bank or vault I'm not too sure," Clair says and Kit nods signaling to Boran to follow them.

Clair nods and starts to walk around and adjusts her necklace on her arm making sure it's secure. About 10 minutes into the search she sees the shine of a metal trapdoor, then suddenly Kit's voice chimes over the comms,

"Clair! Come quick! At the center of the city, it's Boran...he's lost a lot of blood." Kit's voice then crackles off and Clair runs to the center of the city. As she gets to the center of the city she can't see them and talks into the comms.

"Kit. I'm here, where are you?" Clair says. Without warning the Bioluminescence life flickers in and out and Kit's voice distorts into that of the Stranger.

"Missing something Clair?" It laughs and she suddenly checks her arms noticing she doesn't have the necklace.

"Pesky things...These creatures are resourceful. You have a lot of thoughts running through your head." It says and then all the lights go out briefly plunging her into darkness. Ahead of her a few lights circle around a man in a cushioned chair typing away at a computer at his burgundy desk. He stops and turns around looking at Clair,

"Clair, I told you to go bother your mother, I don't want to hear your useless complaining all the time," he says sternly and adjusts his glasses, continuing to type.

Clair's voice hitches in her throat and then comes out as the voice of a young child.

"But Daddy...Mommy still isn't home." Clair knows the response he'll give but she can't help but fall into an old habit.

"Shut your mouth, Clair! I don't care what your mom is doing! That whore!" he pushes his chair out and glares down at her. Clair backs up and tears fall from her eyes.

Her dad smiles, wide, too wide, his smile cracks the skin around his face and starts to bleed. He approaches her, his arms stretching out into long claws at the end scratching the ground, suddenly he snaps his head to the side and vanishes, the darkness lifts and Clair sees Kit and Boran run up to her.

"Clair did you..." Kit starts to ask but they know the answer. Boran takes his necklace off and puts it around Clair's Mech and he just nods. Clair doesn't argue and nods back to Boran.

"I think I got too close to the entrance to the vault, My necklace must have gotten caught on something. Follow me" Clair says and motions them both to follow her to the trapdoor. Boran swims up to the trapdoor, carefully pulls it open, and swims down, the trapdoor is just big enough to fit the Mechs into. Once the three of them entered they took a look around. It's one big crystalline box, made of a mix of red and blue crystals. There's one vault door with two levers on either side. Clair grabs one and Kit grabs the other. As they pull the trap door swings shut and locks and tiny holes open in the ground, the water starts to drain. Clearly, this is an airlock.

Once the water drains Clair and Kit exit the Mechs and Boran pulls his hood back. He breathes in and smiles.

"That's fresh air isn't it?" he asks with a confused look on his face. The vault door swings open, and the interior of the vault freezes them all in place. A forest. A giant underground forest stretching as far as the eye can see. Kit starts to form a sentence, something snarky but they can't bring themselves to say anything.

"That...that's just..." Clair stammers

"Beautiful" Boran finishes her thought and walks into the vault walking down a large flight of stairs, as the other two join him. He chuckles and the others join in, Boran places his hand against a tree and smiles.

"Real bark." He smiles and pulls his hand away.

"What are we looking for again?" Kit asks, looking around the forest.

"I concur, why are you in my forest?" A voice calls out from all directions, the three of them instantly go on guard and huddle up looking around.

"Who said that?" Boran shouts

They see a figure drop down from the trees, its body is long and slender, standing around 10ft. The entire body seems to be made out of oak wood except for its head, its head seems to be the rotting head of an oversized deer, with sharp metal antlers. The sight would've been terrifying if it wasn't for the monocle and top hat it also had.

"Uh...what the hell even are you?" Kit says backing up, Boran gently pushes them behind himself and Clair steps forward.

"Wha...What do you want?" Clair tries her best to sound brave and the creature steps closer.

"You're the one in my forest...I am asking the questions here," it says, narrowing its rotten eyes.

"Um...we came for a code Mr. Dead deer thing" Kit stutters and the creature stares for a minute, smiles, and then laughs adjusting its molecule.

"Oh deer, my apologies you must be with Dr. Lillian! I am afraid we got off on the wrong hoof. My name is Deacon!" Deacon says extending a long wooden hand down to Kit, They reluctantly shake it and he backs up.

"Wait you know Dr. Lillian?" Clair asks suspiciously

"Why, of course. She's my master." He smiles and begins to walk signaling them to follow.

"I'll show you to her vault," Deacon says smiling and walking

"Wait, when you say she's your master do you mean you're a slave?" Boran asks and Deacon laughs.

"Oh deer no, she's a friend but she did create me." He says and Boran looks at the others with a sickened look.

"Wait I'm sorry, she fucking made you!?" Kit yells out and Deacon just nods, bringing them to a tree and pressing on it. A spiral staircase is revealed inside of the tree and Deacon backs up and smiles.

"Good luck with your future endeavors. I bid you adieu." He leaps back into the trees and the three look at each other and head down.

When they get down inside the vault they see the purple crystal and a map but also all sorts of body parts sewn together onto different creatures. One look tells them all they need to know about Dr. Lillian.

"Better of two evils right?.....I hope." Kit says.
