Even though they were half-way through to the trapdoor leading to the basement, Sechs refrained from thinking the words, "So far so good" to himself, as that was just asking for trouble. Especially since their trip meant going through the Sun Room; during the day it was always safe (except for those annoying cats) but Sechs knew that it was a hotspot for monsters and brainwashed prisoners at night.

Such caution was proved the moment Sechs entered the Sun Room just behind Zero and Aigis. The traces of a blazing battle were clear within the darkness. Seeing the severity of the burns left Sechs feeling just a little disappointed -- he obviously had missed a pretty good fight by a few minutes...

However, that aforementioned fight may not have been over though. As much as Sechs loved a good tussle, it was the last thing they needed here. Like his companions, Sechs scanned the room as keenly as he could but he knew he couldn't totally trust his senses at night. Not when imaginary shadows were being forced into his vision by the drug. He had to depend on his instincts and the reactions of Zero and Aigis. When nothing dangerous seemed to be detected by his allies, Sechs took the risk and stepped forward into the open.

When nothing pounced forth from the darkness, Sechs signaled to the others with a jerk of his head before moving on, stooping low to avoid possible detection as he made his way to the cafeteria.
