<p><i>What the…? Oh hell no-</i></p><p><i>[tries to get the drone to do a scan]</i></p><p>Fire. Buddy. <i>Don’t</i> lie to me. Are you <i><b>certain</b></i> that you’re alone up there?</p>
“…”
Red gives no response. He simply lowers his head, falling dead silent…
And allowing you to investigate.
….. The camera struggles to spit out the image it detects. But it manages.
What the hell is this? Though the image tries to show itself clearly, the silhouettes have turned hazy, drowning in the camera’s static. And with how the bloodied form of Red stands- Utterly motionless, as if a shell of himself… It seems like the feed was left frozen in the aftermath of the scan.
But no. It can’t be.
Because then, the other figure moves.
And she looks at you.
Not the camera.
You.
Her voice comes through the speaker, her tone even… But her voice laced with static and venom.
“You weren’t supposed to see this.
…What exactly do you think you’re doing?”
-KCHHT-

Silver?</i> I think it’s empty up there… and if there is anything unusual it should be easy to spot… like finding meteorites in the snow.</p><p>Yeah… Yeah, let’s check Mt. Silver first. Gotta start somewhere.</p>
[Warning: Flashing lights/image in video.]
You select Camera 05, and the display comes to fully present itself on the central computer.
It seems like the drone is currently settled in a cave, hidden from the harsh weather conditions as to not be lost in the snow… Piloting it forward is as easy as pressing a few commands on the keyboard.
Thus, you begin to survey the mountain.
You notice, as you move onwards, that it already seems to be rather high up- it makes sense, though. The remote access wouldn’t be necessary for a lower part of the range, given the proximity of the lab.
And it seems the only direction to go is up.
Onwards, seeing nothing of note except rocks, snow, and wild Pokemon, until the view emerges from the final cavern before the peak, a n d-
