As the spider Grimm thing if it even was still a Grimm wondered off both Hector and Neo came out of hiding.

"Well that's something."

Hector said before Neo rolled her eyes and gave him a less than thrilled face.

"What's life without a little bit adventure?"

Hector said with a small shrug before Neo sighed and extended her arm out telling Hector to lead the way.
Understanding what she was trying to say Hector led Neo towards an exposed part of the facility where multiple jagged rocks were scattered around.

"We should start here. So far no Grimm, but still. Neo you're up."

Hector said which Neo bowed down and with a tap of her parasol she and Hector seemingly became rocks.
After reaching a hallway that had lopsided to the left Hector decided it would be best to clear out each room one by one.

Hector didn't intend to leave not a single gigabyte of information behind. Knowledge was power, power was strength and strength was needed to win.

"Alright Neo, time for the boring and life threatening part."

Hector mused which Neo smirked and stepped to the side of one of the first doors. Using her semblance she created a glass duplicate of Cinder-

*SMASH

Without hesitation Hector immediately punches it with such a force that the glass shards even hit Neo.
Though not hurting she did dust herself off before looking at a Hector who was looming over her.

"Pick someone else."

In response Neo quickly nodded before Hector backed off.
Though Neo knew how to press someone's buttons, and the amount of HATE that emanated from him made her think that he could attract a whole pack of Beowolfs.

Taking a moment to choose who to pick as bait Neo settled on a average Red Tie goon which looking at Sidious gave a single nod of approval.

'Cinder is in for a treat when they meet again.'

Neo thought with a sigh as she opened the door and sending the bait inside.
After almost a minute both Neo and Hector poked their head in to see what looked like an empty room meant for surgery.

"This is gonna take a while." Hector said before Neo turned her scroll at him that read.

"We should've fought the spider thing instead."

One hallway later...

After taking almost half an hour for just one hallway they got nothing, even with a few of them with computers had no relevant information.

"Okay this is taking too long, change of plans."

Overall Hector decided to have them split up but not be too far away from one another in case of Grimm, though not even Hector was sure if his despisition would protect him from the mutated Grimm.

Looking for anything that could point them towards Merlot's main office they began to aimlessly wonder but not without Neos scratching arrows into the wall pointing the way out.

As Hector was checking the inside Neo tugged his cloak. Looking down at Neo pointed at a adjacent, which prompted Hector to take a closer look.

Upon reaching a sign it which had several arrows.
The armory, docking bay, storage were pointed to the left while the main testing area was to the right.

"Good job Neo!" Hector said which Neo smiled before he took out his revolver and said.
"I'll take lead. Hope you're ready to fight."

To which Neo raised her parasol up and made the sharp tip point at Hector while smiling.
