I started to walk off the path that the Navi-Path had planned for me so I could wander around until I got picked up by a cavalry of guards that I assume will find me walking around. Until I was a few doors deep I wondered how long it would take for the submarine to come by to pick me up, because last time it took them 8 hours to get me. Maybe I shouldn't have left Sebastian's shop, I don't know how long it will take for them to come down and find me, I'm also very vulnerables in the open wandering without purpose within the facility.

I think I could try and retrace my steps back to Sebastian's shop so I can camp out there. I started to walk back from where I came from and made my way back to Sebastian. It will be awkward to tell Sebastian that I was going to stay a bit longer in his shop after already leaving.

As I was walking I was certain that I was going the right way as I remembered the rooms I started to walk back through. I knew I was going the right way through each room. Retracing my steps was easy as I didn't get that far from Sebastian's shop before I was back in the room that had the floor lights and the vent that leads into his shop.

I walked towards the vent and began the crawl into Sebastian's shop. Once I reached the end of the vent and stood up I was met with an empty gray room, that definitely wasn't Sebastian's shop. The room was empty and didn't have anything inside, it was like his shop was never here in the first place.

I thought back to what Sebastian told me, that his room moves whenever he leaves it to go scavenging. Maybe he left to look for more items to collect?

Well that's unfortunate for me because I don't have any other safe place to wait in until I get rescued. I guess I could try and look for Sebastian's new place but that could be dangerous and I could die...

Wait.

I forgot, I'm immortal.

Welp I guess I have no reason to not try and look for Sebastian. With a disappointed huff from not finding Sebasian in his own shop, I haul myself back through the vent to start my search for Sebastian, silently hoping I don't get bombarded with entities that will try and kill me.

Now to think about which way Sebastian went to find research. I looked both ways at the connecting hallways that lead to Sebastian's room.

Would Sebastian go further into the facility or would he backtrack into the previous rooms to get more stuff? I think if Sebastian backtracked there would be less of a chance of running into entities but there would be less of a reward of research since I ransacked the rooms I was in, but there should also be an abundant amount of items from dead Expendables.

If Sebastian went further into the facility he would be able to gather more data from untouched rooms, but there would be less dead bodies to steal from and most likely more dangers to run into.

I thought to myself and decided that Sebastian would play it safe and go through the earlier rooms to scavenge.

I started to make my way down the rooms that I've already walked through in the search to find Sebastian. I theory Sebastian shouldn't have been able to get too far as I didn't leave him alone for a long time before I tried to go back to his shop.

The silent footfall of my feet against the concrete floor was a nice rhythm along with the quiet sounds of whirring sounds of the ventilation from the vents filled the rooms I walked through, leaving me in a calming state as I didn't have to listen to the sound of opening doors, or have to worry about the lights flickering when I opened a new door.

Unless the entities could come back to previously opened doors, I felt like I was fine with just wandering around looking for Sebastian, wherever he went off to. Now that I felt no need to follow the Navi-path, I went off the destined path in favor of the newly opened doors that I found that Sebastian most likely opened and went through.
