Resistance - Team SOS

Unraveling

"Something's definitely up with her." Silver said, crossing his arms while looking at the same picture of Ms. Breezie that Honey showed him earlier. He and Shadow had gone back to Honey's office (after taking about 7 minutes to find a map), and we're trying to figure out what's next.

"Agreed. She's hiding something else, and I'm sure of it," Shadow replied, leaning on the door of the room. "And I'm sure she wants Metal to play a part in her scheme as well."

"Maybe... but what are we supposed to do now?" Honey asked worriedly.

"...share what we found out." Shadow said.

"Ehe...right. Well, I talked to Heavy Shinobi, and he said that all of the robots in the park were reprogrammed once Eggman was taken down. By the boss herself, apparently. That's all I could get from him without risking anything." Silver explained, putting his hand on the side of his head to rustle some of his quills to calm himself.

"Well, that's an...uncommon rumor in the park. Strange it was confirmed by him of all people, you must've gotten lucky. And what about you, Shadow?"

"No more than the obvious....except for one thing." He said, before he walked to Silver and Honey, rummaging through his quills before showing them a small pocket bag. "I managed to take this from Heavy Gunner's belt while he wasn't paying attention. But I haven't checked on what's inside."

"Well, we can check it now, can't we?" Silver asked, the nearly white hedgehog putting a hand on his hip and pointing to the pocket bag. The contrasting black and red hedgehog rolled his eyes, before lifting the bag's cover to reveal...

"...are those credit cards or something?" Silver asked. There were...plastic cards, and the trio had a combined look of confusion as Shadow emptied it out onto his other palm. They all had a singular stripe on the top of it, and seemed to have different colors, as if they were each for a specific area. Honey's eyes widened, taking the one card that didn't match any of the others, the stripe being teal.

"Do...do you know what these are!?" She asked, and Silver shrugged, Shadow looking away and scratching the back of his head. "Cards for something, I guess."

"That 'something' is for accessibility everywhere in the park!! Look!" Honey said, spinning around before showing the front of the card. It had the words 'M-B personal office access' on it. "Who's M-B, you might ask? I think it might be a codename for Ms. Breezie! Which means we have authorized access to her office !"

Both hedgehogs' eyes widened at the card and Honey, at the realization of what this meant. "That's....perfect! That's perfect!! If there's any answers, they'll be in there!" Silver piped up, flying above the ground instinctively due to his serotonin. "I think you're onto something, Silver. But from what we've seen so far, everyone here is tight about letting people see the boss or her office here."

" I can take care of that!" The yellow cat said, taking a sassy pose proudly.

"I do not understand how it is indulgent to drink these." Metal said, sitting on a balcony west of the couch they were on earlier, and holding a glass of wine, staring at the liquid.

"It's an 'acquired taste', by most people." Breezie replied, taking another sip of her own glass. Metal still couldn't fully understand...but that was his nature nowadays. Not understanding anything. Even himself...

He looked back up to the sky, which was being dotted by stars and the color of it turning indigo. What... did he understand, then?

Metal wants to is his own person.He does not want to take orders from those he doesn't know and trust.Ms. Breezie is definitely up to something.
