Chapter 9: The Binoculars

The 13th of November was a whirlwind that kept going. After asking around and searching all over the bases, we found the TS5 key. The irony was that we found it in the desk in the vault. The desk used to be Matthias before he upgraded to Megadesk.

We opened the safe- the TS5 key worked- to find what looked like a motherboard of some kind. I would have no idea what any of that stuff was, seeing as I'm not a super technologically advanced person.

We decided to just leave it for a while. It wasn't gonna kill us to leave it be.

Matt then went into Megadesk. He was going to look for something on Reddit. I decided to follow him as he pulled up the bookmark he had and pointed to the screen, reading off the post to Quinn and I.

""I have the same binoculars and they are called, "Night Vision NV 400-B". They are also an infrared filter camera and video.""

"They're video," I said, "so they... they record?"

"Yeah." He replied. "I completely missed that. I just got creeped out that they're binoculars."

I turned to the door, grabbed the doorframe, and swung out.

"Woods! Sam! Hannah!" I called. Sam and Hannah came over.

"Woods is in the bathroom, I think he's whitening his teeth." Sam said with a little giggle.

After a minute of jokes and comedic "misunderstandings", we finally got back on topic. Woods came in and Matt showed the three of them the post and explained what it meant.

"We have the binoculars, yes?" Matt asked Woods with his hands outstretched.

"Oh, we don't wanna look at that!" Sam exclaimed, looking at Matt like he was crazy. Matt let out laugh.

"What kind of footage do you think you're going to find on the binoculars?" Sam questioned.

"I know Woods is there with me," Matt muttered, looking back at Woods. Woods had a small smirk on his face.

"I'm down." I said from the chairs, arms crossed. "I mean, what's the worst we could find?"

"Let's get the binoculars." Woods said lowly, walking out the door.

"Yeah, I knew it!" Matt said happily, getting up from the chair and following Woods out. I quickly popped out of my chair and joined them. Sam and Hannah tagged along.

We went up to the vault and Matt grabbed the binoculars. We looked closely at them, trying to figure out how they worked. Upon closer inspection, we discovered an on switch and a screen.

Matt turned the binoculars on and pointed them at Woods. The screen turned on and revealed Woods' forehead. Sam, Hannah and I let out upset groans. After some more inspection, Matt discovered something.

"There's an SD card."

"I don't wanna look," Sam said, her voice full of concern.

"Ok, then go into your office," Matt responded, "lock your door."

Sam turned and went into her office and was about to close her door.

"Wait, lock my door?" She asked.

"You don't have to lock your door." I said, turning to her.

"That was just for dramatic affect." Matt clarified.

We went back downstairs to find a SD card. Woods went into the camera room and dug around a bit.

"Wait," I said, "do you want to put this in one of your computers?"
