Chapter 2 Post Mid-Round Update; A Choice
Unfortunately... Due to the large majority of votes cast towards Broly... And it wasn't long before
Broly was taken away to the UN, it was presumed from here on, they'd figure out if he truly had anything to do with the murders that had occurred... Hopefully there aren't any carrots or something where he was sent to, otherwise those dealing with him miiiiight have some trouble to say the least...
(Stay tuned for an followup post for you,
@Kakarot! )

Dust & Fidget
In the meantime... Something seemed to be
resonating with Bubba's keyblade... A beam of light was cast from the weapon, aimed towards an spot on the wall... Fidget and Dust appeared to notice it first, with Fidget quickly folllowing the beam of light, to find that the light was
resonating with a picture of a peculiar looking young man on the wall.
"Hey! The way that key-blade... Thingie... Is making that picture on the wall shine... I think it's found a secret door or something!" Fidget said excitedly... She fluttered up to the strange, but familiar picture on the wall, pushing against it with all her (puny) might, her face nearly turning red in her efforts before she finally gave up.
"Nyaaaaw...! Stupid... Secret... Door! Why... Won't you... Open?!" Fidget complained between breaths... Not noticing something else shining below the picture...
An engraved nameplate of sorts which read simply as;
Elliot. Thankfully, Dust was more observent than his winged companion, as he rubbed his chin, putting his hand on the nameplate, causing it to be pushed in...
A whole section of the wall suddenly flipped around, revealing a large set of doubledoors, looming in front of eveyone...
The doors slowly creeked open a little on their own... Weirdly enough, but, Dust seemed satisfied with their findings.
"Well... You were halfway there with the door thing... Fidget." Dust teased his companion playfully, nudging her a little before he approached the doubledoors... Entering into the room beyond, looks like he was leading the way in... Fidget followed a little ways, fuming under her breath.
"Hmph! I saw it first!... Which ALLOWED you to help open that door!" Fidget said, pouting a little as she crossed her arms, flying in after Dust... A faint humming noise could be heard in the air already...
....
The loud humming noise grew louder and louder as everyone stepped inside, lead by commander Shephard of course, and as the entire contents of the room came to view...
This looked like an
central server hub of some sort... Various machines were littered around the room, and, Sixi noticed that his
yellow bag of sorts had suddenly disappeared when he was distracted... What an strange place indeed... Though, Shepherd seemed to know what was going on right off the bat... Looks like this was their "final" destination of this area.
"Alright! This might be confusing to some of you folks out there... But, I'll put this in the most basic of terms! This room, right here, is the "heart" of Eden! All that you see around you, is what controls this place you have all entered! In a few mere moments, I can purge the entirety of Eden, freeing all those it has enslaved... And preventing this place from trapping anyone insode of here again, effectively Liberating all those that Eden has held as prisoners here!" Shephard paused, gesturing towards the computer sitting on a desk nearby, already approaching it as she raised her hands.
"As soon as I access these servers... I can begin to purge Eden, effectively immediately, all I need, is the majority approval of this group." She concluded, cracking her knuckles, she was almost prepared to begin typing on the computer's keyboard when suddenly... A series of fizzling and popping sounds occurred as that yellow bag from before
materialized out of nowhere... And as if on it's own, the bag seemed to
open itself, shooting out an odd beam of light, as if this were some sort of holographic message... The bag itself seemed to suddenly disappear into thin air... As if it had just up and "despawned" as the beam of light revealed a feminine figure... One that Sixi would recognize as the
figure he had seen, leaving the yellow bag behind in the forest.
The figure seemed to flicker a few times, as if there were some invisible holographic projector on the floor... It would appear that she had a rather solmen expression on her face, as she turned to the others.
"This is Faith Connors speaking... An voluntary resident here in Eden." She paused for a moment, looking to one side of her, as if there was someone offscreen she was glancing at for just a moment... Before she continued.
"If my package has successfully been delivered, I should be speaking to you... Whoever you are, in Eden's Central Hub. Here, is where Eden itself can be altered... Since you all have come here, in hopes of liberating this place... There are to options, presented before you." She paused again, seeming to be gesturing to the area around her.
"You most likely know of the first way... Eden can be purged, ejecting me... And everyone else from this synthetic world..." She said, her voice seemed to falter a little, as a sadder look seemed to wash across her face.
"However... The purge will destroy Eden forever... And with it, the AI that inhabit this world... Those that you may or may not have met, but, in the end... Much like us, living beings... Have emotions, hopes, dreams... And even lives of their own, which they have lead, side by side... With residents such as myself." A sad smile crossed her face, as if she was recalling some particularly fond memories of her past.
"To purge Eden... Would mean to extinguish all of that... In a mere instance, in exchange for our, assured, 'liberation' from this place... Once, and for all." She closed her eyes briefly, seeming to gather herself together before she opened her eyes again.
"There is a second way to go about liberating the inhabitants of this place... You can simply let everyone out of these pods... Nothing will happen to Eden, but, it will go empty of those imprisoned, or simply living in this synthetic world... Leaving everything here, intact. Those who wish to return to Eden, can do so... And those who wish to leave Eden, may finally leave... Even those, who had once been held against their will." Faith sighed
"However... This will not stop those with the intent... To trap others within Eden once more... But, that is a risk, we all must take, by leaving Eden intact..." she said... She paused once last time... Seeming to stare right at everyone in front of her.
"It is up to you... To decide the fate of Eden... So please, while you can. Choose wisely." Faith said, she smiled somewhat wryly
"Whatever your choice may be... Once it is done... I'll be seeing you, soon." she concluded... And with that, Faith's image seemed to flicker and fade... Disappearing into thin air; it looks like this rather lengthy message, was over.
This new development caught Shephard offguard, but, her expression remained rather... Unchanged.
"Regardless of this new information... The choice is still up to you." Shephard said, she cracked her knuckles again, speaking in a rather matter-of-fact tone.
"We either purge Eden, for good... Wiping Eden, and all of it's AI from existence, once and for all, and in doing so, freeing everyone from Eden... Or, we simply open the pods, freeing everyone, including ourselves, but, leaving Eden intact, allowing for others to fall prisoner to this place." She crossed her arms, as if demanding a response from those around her.
"So... Which option will it be?" She asked, seeming rather impatient about this...
Looks like everyone had a choice to make... But beware... Because:
Welp! Looks like it's time for everyone to
cast a vote on what they feel would be the best course of action to take here... Try not to break any snowglobes or anything in the process...
