FINAL WEEK

[akudamods]

Starting Saturday, the layer of clouds in the sky is more solid than ever. Overcast, reflecting the neon light of the city. By Sunday, you'll see more colors than ever, as several new areas are added to the span of your probation. And some areas aren't, but might see an approach anyway. Do the pods containing six weeks of treatment daunt you in the slightest now that judgment awaits at the end of the fourth week? Though faithful treatment participants only experience flashes on the upper third of their bodies now, their counterparts will experience occasional waves of isolating existential coldness. Does your physically present overseer have anything to say for herself? Just remember one thing: Kanto is watching and waiting.

[* ...]

[* No
>* Yes]

[akudamods]

[You find yourself in a hallway. There are three other doors to check out. But more importantly, you're struck by screens showing the city. Hey, there's Sephiroth right outside the karaoke bar.]

[your_best_friend]

[* Ooh, how interesting. Are the screens showing everywhere, or would there be obvious blind spots if Flowey cross-references with maps?]

[akudamods]

[They seem to focus on the probation areas. If anything, it's locations the X-Class Akudama haven't gone, like the Chiyozaki Entertainment Dome, that don't show up. That said, the order itself is random, not even just all the Dotonbori ones together.]

[your_best_friend]

[* ...Welp. If people were spying on probation areas, then he may have spied on Flowey spying on others.]

[* Pushing that thought out of his mind for now, it's time he checks out the doors. What's behind door #1?]

[akudamods]

[There are several drawing tablets hooked to monitors for art projects. A smaller laptop is set aside for any other work that needs computers. There are takeout containers on tables and trashcans full of plastic wrappings. In fact, it smells like this place has been abandoned for a week.

Examine project?]

[your_best_friend]

[* A curious flower is always curious. Of course he'll examine the art projects.]

[akudamods]

[You see those long videos of the trials on here. From your early attempts at framestepping, it seems cut-for-cut to be the most circulated upload.

And you see a photorealistic video of a young man. Another one of an even younger boy with red hair, causing a blimp to explode. Yet they're in the context of many other files showing the imagery in intermediate stages... suggesting an inexorable conclusion. They were generated.]

[your_best_friend]

[* Generated...? Flowey will take clear photos of all this imagery for evidence purposes. A... "repair" shop. What for "fixing" evidence to fit some sort of agenda or something...?]

[* SAVE FAILED]

[* Damn. It would be REALLY helpful if he was in control of this timeline... Fine, whatever, he'll just go and see if there's anything else worthwhile on these computers.]

[akudamods]

[You've gathered the gist, but more can't hurt! You see that the computers were first purchased in January Naniwa Year 31, and the files were made over time (not surprising in the case of the trial ones). You see another laptop in here, but it mostly seems to have been used for taking notes, receiving emails, and generally organizing these image files more easily with text.

Room #2?]

[your_best_friend]

[* Flowey would definitely take the computer, but the person that uses this might notice, and Flowey doesn't want to risk that, no matter how small the chance. He'll download the emails and notes as best as he can and then move onto door #2.]

[akudamods]

[You are in an office. There's a desk in front of a huge screen almost the size of a blackboard. However, it seems to function wirelessly and not be connected to anything at the moment.

There is a phone on the desk. It actually looks pretty similar to the ones you were given when you first arrived at the research hospital. It's locked, but there are two notifications, each of which you can curiously stretch down from the lockscreen.

> authorization
> note saved]

[your_best_friend]

[* Flowey will look at Authorization first.]

[akudamods]

["You have received authorization from Kanto." The gray background resembles another window. But instead of coming from interaction with an app, it's some kind of emergency alert push notification.]

[your_best_friend]

[* Hmm, ominous. Flowey wasn't at the end that caused the notification, so he'll have to get context elsewhere.

>* Note Saved]

[* A cipher. Easily recognizable as one. But which one? It couldn't be as simple as... Hmm. Flowey takes a moment going through the message translating from THAT cipher.]

...Oh my god, it IS that simple.

[* As Flowey translates... he wonders... is this message... meant for him...?

Regardless, he takes a photo of both notifications and heads to door #3. But then has some second thoughts and there may be a way he can get past the lockscreen, so he puts ???'s Phone in his inventory and THEN enters door #3.]

[akudamods]

[Room #3 is a control room! That's what the big panel under the screen suggests. Takes up almost the entire desk, besides a notepad with detailed, masterful sketches of all the stuff in this complex. There's a separate touchscreen panel about the size of a tablet that seems pretty advanced but lacks login information to progress further. Even more buttons in the middle. There's a microphone to the side, and a two-handed grip control system like at an arcade.

The screen shows the research hospital pharmacy.

Hm.

You're alone in here and free to go.]

[your_best_friend]

[* Oh... OH. All this stuff of everything... Flowey thinks he connected the pieces as to who was here last. Zealot.

* Flowey goes and takes photos of all the sketches just in case. It may be irrelevant, but it also may be relevant. All of this has been thoroughly interesting. He sits alone, hidden away in some corner. There is one question going through his mind: Does he think he's seen everything useful?

* If he thinks he had, he'll head out and go through the emails and data he downloaded.]
