Night 74: Records Archive (Third Floor)

[freewill]

[From here.]

After having it built up so much, the Records Archive turned out to be a rather unassuming room.

It looked much like a number of the other rooms scattered throughout the institute. There were computer consoles all along the walls, interspersed with bookshelves that held countless different volumes -- journals, notebooks, and files, all looking to have been organized and cataloged in a very methodical way. There was a table in the center of the room surrounded by chairs; atop it were a few open journals, along with one large binder. Was this what Landel was referring to whenever he mentioned paperwork?

Castiel used his flashlight to take in the whole room, noting that there was yet another teleportation pad in the corner, but it was abandoned save for them. Maybe Landel hadn't expected them to get this far...

Other than the computers, though, this was the sort of thing that Castiel was comfortable with. This was research.

He turned back toward the others. "It looks like we have plenty of work to do."

Castiel nodded, not needing Kratos to explain why he was handing the pen to him. He pulled the piece of paper that he'd written Ryuuzaki and his friend's coordinates on and wrote down the numbers for his world as well. He studied them for a moment. Numbers could have great importance, but he didn't see anything that stood out in the combination here.

It looked like the two visitors were going to move on now, which was for the best -- this room was getting crowded. Once again, all Castiel did was offer a small nod in farewell as he placed the sheet of paper back in his pocket. He'd have to keep it well-guarded when day came, although it shouldn't mean much of anything to the nurses.

If Lloyd said that they didn't need any further help, then Sora would believe him. They didn't know each other that well yet, but Lloyd seemed like the honest type and besides, he had Mr. Kratos and their other friend with him.

"Thanks for doing all this," he said to all three of them with a wide smile. "I think it's going to make a big difference."

With that, he waved and turned to Link, moving to the teleportation pad in the corner of the room. After taking a deep breath, Sora nodded to himself and then stepped on.

[To here.]

Lloyd murmured a goodbye to the other two, watching as they stepped onto the warp pad. Kratos nodded an acknowledgment, his own silent form of farewell. Then they were gone, and it was time to focus on copying down more coordinates.

It wasn't long, though, before Guy called them back, giving them the other world's name that he needed.

"Look for an Earth," Lloyd relayed to his father. "Guy said the date there is SD 366." The date didn't mean anything to him, but hopefully it would be enough.

It was. As soon as Kratos had it, Lloyd called Guy back and gave him the coordinates for that Earth.
