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

(Chapter 5) Part 25:Through Reanimation Ep. 3

After using a hand scanner, the doors open to the Electric Shock Showers and the brothers enter the room, quickly learning what gave the name. Attached to the ceiling were two power poles evenly spaced, several magnet walls were mounted on the right wall, and some were mounted on some boxes in the observation deck above, several large crates were stacked along the right wall below the magnets, and two power ports were installed along the left wall. There were two more doors in the room as well, one of them was dead ahead, and the other was below the observation deck and between the two ports on the left side of the room.

Looking around for a moment, Nearic nodded, "Yeah, this isn't a hard puzzle."

"You think you got this?" Dan asked as Nearic shot at a magnet.

"Yep," he pulled himself onto the crates to the right, "Just watch which doors open."

Dan nods as Nearic grabs the outport, he then proceeds to walk across the crates before magnetizing to the crates in the observation deck. He pulls himself across the room, the cable snagging into the other power pole, before he drops down and completes the circuit. The door on Nearic's right opens.

"There," Dan points to the doorway, which leads to stairs.

The brothers leave the room and go up the stairs, following the hallway. Turning the corner, they notice window that peeks into another room, and someone inside quickly ducks out od sight, but the yellow eye Nearic spots has his eyes widening as his body locks up in fear. Screams and cries echoes in his ears as the Prototype flashes in his mind, red alarms blaring, dark liquid pooling over the ground, pain in his gut piercing as the need to run rises. The screams getting louder, the lights flickering black to red to back, over and over.

"NEARIC!" the teen jumps and looks to his left, seeing Dan looking at him in worry, "You there, can you hear me?"

Nearic is panting, staring at his brother as his vision clears. He shakes and holds his head, groaning, "Yeah, I hear you..."

Dan sighs and releases his brother's shoulder, Nearic only noticing once it left him, "Good, you zoned out for a minute."

Nearic sighs as he wipes sweat from his face, "Sorry, it's just..." he shakes his head again, "I really hope I don't remember anything else of that day."

Dan frowns and steps back, "What day?"

Nearic hesitates, looking back at the surgical room "Let's keep moving," he decides, walking away.

Dan watches his brother for a moment before sighing, "It's rare for him to keep secrets, especially from this place, it must not have been a good memory."

He followed Nearic down the steps to the left and spotted him trying to open a blue door, which was locked, "Not that one, I guess," the elder quipped.

Nearic huffed with a smile before checking the other door, keypad connected to it, which conveniently only had the top three numbers with paint degradation, "This shouldn't be that hard," Dan commented.

He walks over and starts putting in numbers and only took three tries before he gets the code, the doors opening, "That was easier than I thought."

The brothers walk through the doorway and approach windows to the room below them, and Nearic's breath hitches upon seeing what's inside. An input element port on the far wall, several cardboard boxes are stacked on the left, but what caught the brothers' attention were the two outimals laying on chairs covered in Poppy Gel, and if Nearic squinted, he could see their organs littered across the chair and floor.

The proceed down to the stairs and try the doors, the door ahead and the one to the left are both locked, the right; however, is unlocked. Walking inside, the brothers found more surgical chairs recently used, missing the toys however, a lab desk was empty across the room, an electric patch was mounted next to it, an a red TV was set up next to that, an element switcher was mounted on the right wall, and another door on the left wall which was blocked by a mass of Poppy Gel.
