XIII was the first to enter the room. When the group had been going down the hallway, the fireball that XIII threw attached itself to the ceiling and moved ahead of everyone. The roof had been low, so the fireball lit the enclosed space quite easily. The ceiling in the room was way to high for the fireball to be of any use, so XIII brought it back to the torch in his hand.<br/><br/>The source of the light came from a black box that was in the center of the room.<span style="font-style: italic">Well, </span>that<span style="font-style: italic"> doesn't seem ominous at all,</span>XIII thought to himself dryly. As he went to take a closer look at it, he kicked something with his foot. Looking down, XIII saw a very ragged looking book. He picked it up and flipped through the pages.<br/><br/>The book seemed to be a journal. The pages were filled with the symbols that were at the top of the building, along with some drawings depicting death. XIII had no clue what anything in the journal meant, but he figured that someone else would, so he put the book in his back pocket for further reference. As he did so, he heard Ascot ask something about a bomb.<br/><br/>He looked up and saw the kid standing by the box in the middle of the room. The blue haired girl, Kana, stepped up, did something, and then said something about changing it from ten seconds to ten minutes. Ascot reacted oddly and punched himself in the stomach. The kid then told the group to run before running himself. He didn't get that far. As he passed XIII, XIII reached his hand out and grabbed the back of his shirt, pulling up and back to halt his progress. He grunted as pain flared up in his side.<br/><br/>"Hold on a second. Yes, we do have to find a way out, but running aimlessly isn't the best way to do so." XIII ran a hand over his head as he thought about what to do. He walked over to the box and examined it. Why was there a bomb here? As he looked at the cables that spread out from under the box, he got an idea.<br/><br/>"If this is a bomb. I don't think that it'll take out much of this place if it went off. The cables connecting to this thing make me think that there is more to it. We have, approximately, nine and a half minutes. I say that we calmly and quickly follow the cables. They'll probably lead us outside or towards a power source. Most likely both. Any problems with this plan?"
