Amaia looked around the basement and saw a row of refrigerators along the wall.
She went over to one of them and opened it.
She saw that there were stacks of IV blood bags inside the refrigerator.
Amaia opened the other refrigerators and saw that all but one had IV bags inside.
The other refrigerator had food and water.
Amaia deduced that the guards had been keeping Yumi alive to extract blood from her.
She didn't know for what reason and didn't have time to figure it out.
So she quickly went back up the stairs to the computer and closed the trap door, locking Ana and Yumi inside.
Ana saw Amaia go up the stairs and close the trap door, but she didn't care.
She was so happy to see Yumi alive that being locked in didn't matter and she began asking Yumi a bunch of questions.
"How are you here? What happened to you?" asked Ana.
"I don't remember. I just remember waking up here. They've been taking my blood."
"What for?"
"I don't know. What are you doing here with her?"
"I got on the computer."
"But, now we're both trapped down here."
"No. You're getting out of here. I'll take your place if I have to, if Amaia doesn't let us out."
"Why would she let us out?"
"I made her a deal. She needs me to take the fall for her."
"What?! You can't do that."
"Yeah I can. It'll be all right."
Amaia looked through the computer files reading everything that she could find.
She found out that there were several fuel drums of oil inside the hull of the ship and it was right then and there that she got the idea to blow up the ship.
Amaia began to hack the computer and was able to figure out that she could cause the fire inside the ship directly from the computer by increasing the ship's electricity and short-circuiting the wiring to cause a spark to explode the fuel.
Once she figured out how to execute it, she began to hack the computer for whatever information she could find about the police or government.
She found out that the police had found and arrested Irina's parents.
And that they had been executed by the police.
Amaia was surprised to learn that and continued to read Irina's profile that the police had on her.
