As the group of four walked inside, Alex would get his first ever impression of what the Babylon Tower would look like and it was a rather grim first impression.
'Everything here is so dimly lit. With how the infrastructure is set up, this feels more like a prison rather than an actual lab. Not to mention, just the vibe this place gives off is extremely off putting.' He thought.
Alex didn't know why, but just being inside the Lab made him feel sick and nauseous, as if something malicious was inside that tower besides the 2nd Herrscher.
As Alex surveyed his surroundings, Kiana began to pick up on how odd the tower was as well.
"So, this is what the tower looks like on the inside? Kinda seems like a prison to me." Said Kiana.
"From what I was told, Overseer Otto is the one who manages the Babylon Labs though what exactly he uses this place for is unknown to me." Stated Cecilia.
That definitely raised a red flag for Alex, though that topic would get brushed aside as Theresa cleared her throat to get their attention.
"Look, we can save the extra stuff for later. Right now we gotta focus on catching up to the 2nd Herrscher before she regains her full strength back." Said Theresa.
The other nodded in agreement and began to traverse within the tower.
After encountering and taking down a group of Honkai Beasts, they all came across an elevator which was locked.
"Damn. It's going to need a Key Card if we're going to want to utilize it." Said Theresa.
"I'm fairly certain that the key card should be around here somewhere as long as we look carefully." Said Cecilia.
Right as the four were about search the area, Theresa's transmission device began to go off as she looked to see who was contacting her.
"Hm? A message from the Overseer?" Said Theresa. She began to read it and as she finished it, gave a confused expression.
"He wants me to head back now all of a sudden. This makes no sense. Why?" She asked.
"The Overseer more than likely has a plan that involves you. We should trust his judgement. Don't worry Theresa. You can leave the 2nd Herrscher to me." Said Cecilia.
"W-Wait but..." Trailed off Theresa, still unsure if she should leave the group.
"Don't worry Aunt Theresa we got this covered! Me and Alex will do our absolute best to keep Cecilia safe from any major harm." Confidently said Kiana as Alex nodded in agreement.
Theresa sighed, knowing that she wasn't gonna be able to convince Kiana otherwise.
"Alright then, I'll be heading off then. Take care you three. Good luck."
With that, Theresa bid farewell and left, leaving the group on their own.
"Alright then. Kiana, Alex, let's split up and look for the key card. Make sure not to get too far from here, understood?" Asked Cecilia.
The two agreed and they all went off in their own directions looking for the key card.
Alex approached a row of numerous jail cells, and though he was supposed to be looking for just the item, he couldn't help but notice some eerie and disturbing details about the cells.
'Dried out blood, torn and ragged blankets, worn out children's toys, just what the hell was going on in here?' Thought Alex.
Nearly every cell he looked through had the same three details as the more he saw it, the more it really began to genuinely upset and disturb Alex.
