Overdue Check-Up (Poppy Playtime) [On Hold]

(Chapter 4) Part 26: The Foundation Ep. 2

Following the only path to take, passing a cart with a Purple Hand pad, they enter a large room that's filled with a big blue piping network, connected by letter-labelled conduits. Ahead of them lies a small office room with a broken staircase, a bigger one stands on the left of the room, and train tracks continue onward to the right: leading towards another tunnel.

"Well then," Nearic starts, "This looks like something for you to take a look at, dear brother," he says as he pats Dan's shoulder.

Dan slumps and sighs, "I just want this to be over already."

"You and me both," Dogday replies.

"I'll explore the rest of the cave system with Dad to try and find more explosives, you and Catnap look around here and solve the puzzle, that work for everyone?" Nearic suggested.

Dan gives a thumbs up with Catnap nods, "Works for us."

Dan then looks over to the piping around the Foundation, "Hey Dogday, mind handing that explosive to Catnap, he'll hook up the bomb while I take a look around here."

As Nearic and Dogday walk further into the cave system, Dan walks over to the small office space above them while Catnap starts planting the bomb, "Wonder what's up there?" he uses the purple hand pad and launches himself up to the landing before taking a look around.

Inside the office space, a teal T.V sits mounted on the far right wall next to a Bubba Bubbaphant cutout, a few desks and papers strewn about chaotically, and a purple access card just sitting atop the desk to his left. The older brother smiles, takes the card, and stuffs it into his pocket.

Dan hops down from the office and checks on Catnap, "How's the bomb going?"

The feline huffs, "Not hard, it has some pretty good adhesive on the back," he steps back and sits down, "Already done, just have to wait for the others and then we'll be good to go."

"Alrighty then," Dan says, "I'll check the other office then. Keep an eye out for any trouble while you wait," Catnap nods.

The older brother walks up the steps on the other end of the room and approaches a door locked by keycard console. Inserting the card he found and waiting a moment, the door opens with a hiss. A quick look around revealed a large vault door to his right, an open doorway ahead of him, and a line of computers to his left. The screen closest to him had a sheet of paper taped to it.

The man walks over to the computers and snatches the paper off before looking down at it, "Now, what do you say?"

Exploring the cave, Dogday and Nearic stuck close together as they approached another junction that split three ways: The left lead to an elevated path (only accessible with Dogday's assistance), to the left, and straight forward.

"Let's go right first. Afterall," Nearic adds with a smirk, which his father noticed.

"No wait, please don't-"

"It is the right path, eh, eh?" Dogday just stares at him, his eyes half covered by... something, "Le's move on."

They both traversed the path, with Dogday crouching to make his way through, and quickly came up upon more Rabid toys. Nearic frowned as he pulls out his hatchet, Dogday following suit with his broken blanks of wood. A few swings had the tiny bastards fleeing and clearing the way for the father-son-duo. Nearic spots a hole in the wall and peeks inside, spotting a canister of some blue gas, a crate, and another C4.

"Found it," he turns back to his father and pints inside, "It's in there, don't know how to get in though."

Dogday crouches down and peeks inside as well, "Hmm, maybe we'll find an entry on the other side. Let's go and check."
