“Hm. Rest in pieces.” Barrett couldn't care less. “We dealt with the guy in charge. Shouldn’t be a problem, if Bill’s good with his knots.” He nodded back to Williams.

Jack went to take a look at the strange masks.

[alliascompany]

"Oh he's great them. You should see when he ties himself to a bedpost at night to keep from sleep running, " said Waffle.

"Calm down, it's just us," Tabitha said when Waffle and Shepherd startled. "Anyone know where Owl is, so we can get this shitshow moving?"

A muscle in Callahan's neck strained as he worked the metal plates open. Eventually, screws started coming loose from the back of the Titan's head, followed by increasingly large sheets of metal.

Callahan narrowed his eyes at something in front of him, bending down to get a closer look at it. He stayed there for a bit, looking like he was struggling with something, before his arms shot up over his head. He'd pulled something out of the Titan's head.

"Is this what the memory discs look like?" he asked, sliding off the Titan's back and holding something up. It was a large, flat rectangle, with one of the corners painted yellow. To Flor, likely the only person of the three who'd seen a memory disc before, that was exactly what it looked like, save for the fact that it was much bigger than the average disc.

As soon as Owl received Waffle's message, he walked around to find Melvin. "We need to lock down the factory floor as soon as the gas comes through and evac starts. I don't have tears anymore and you're immune, so you can get started." He produced a piece of pink chalk and the large sigil design. "Oh, and I need a severed robot head. Can you do that?"

@alliascompany

Don't mind me and Melvin. Pump as much gas into the vents as you can and tell Callahan to fake an evac in French or something.

[Legendofgenii]

“… he does, does he.” Barrett tried not to laugh, and failed miserably. Not the best idea, giving Barrett more bullying material. His trolling would have to wait however.

---

“No idea.” Callan shrugged, giving the rectangle a curious glance. “So… do we just break it?”

[alliascompany]

@Legendofgenii @Pi-Eta

Williams glared at Waffle, who smiled apologetically at the Captain.

"Rodger that. Just gotta regroup with the titan gang." Waffle told Owl. He then turned to the others. "Owl says we can go ahead without him and Melvin. I'm gonna ask Callahan to issue an evacuation."

---

"I've never seen one so big, but yeah that's it," said Flor. Her phone vibrated. She took it out of her pocket and glanced at the screen.
"Oh they found the canisters in a storage room. They also want Callahan to somehow call for an evacuation in French."

[KilljoyConstruct]

Melvin turned a corner right as Owl did, beeping in alarm when he suddenly bumped into the cognitomancer. "Oh, there you are," he said. "I have the discs."

---

@Legendofgenii @alliascompany

"...I guess so?" Callahan said, eyeing the disc. He looked at Flor when she received Waffle's text. "I can do that," he said in regards to calling for an evacuation. "But first-"

He hesitated before throwing the disc on the ground, running it through with his sword for good measure. There was a crack as it broke into pieces under the bone blade; and with it, the wailing of the trapped spirits abruptly stopped.

Callahan glanced around as everything went quiet. The Titan had completely shut off, the sounds of gears rotating and metal groaning also having ceased when the disc was shattered. He looked like he was about to say something, when his eyes shifted just a point behind Cal and Flor.

If they turned around, they would have been able to see eight figures standing behind them. Most of them were male, and dressed as Central Powers soldiers, but two or three of them were dressed in civilian clothing. One of them even appeared to be a teenage girl, maybe around sixteen or seventeen.

[alliascompany]

"I think that did it..." said Flor. She turned to see what Callahan was looking at. Flor took a step back from the people who had suddenly appeared.

[Legendofgenii]

Callan watched and quietly muttered a few words after the wailing finally ceased. “-absolutionem, misereri, remissionem…”

He didn’t realise they had company until Flor shifted her weight. Following her and Callahan’s gaze, he finally spotted what had spooked them.

[Pi-Eta]

"Show me." He held out a flat palm.

[KilljoyConstruct]

@Legendofgenii

Upon closer inspection, they could see that all of the figures who had appeared suddenly were translucent. Not only that, but they were all wounded in some way... fatally so. The soldiers all appeared to have bullet wounds somewhere on their bodies, as did the older civilian. The young girl was different, though; it appeared her throat had been cut open.

She was the one who came forward, looking all around the hangar before finally turning her eyes back to the three. "Is it over?" she asked quietly. "Can we go now?"

---

@Pi-Eta

Melvin placed the discs in Owl's hand. There was nothing notable about them.

[Legendofgenii]

Callan side-eyed Callahan, as if to say ‘You’re up.’

To be honest, anything that came out of Cal’s mouth right now would be unintelligible.

[alliascompany]

"It's them," Flor said softly.

[Pi-Eta]

The crystal in his arm glowed, allowing him to vaguely read the infornation - though he couldn't understand it directly. It was more of a structural probe. "There, I got it. I can reassemble your sister's."

[KilljoyConstruct]

@alliascompany

Callahan glanced back at Cal, looking apprehensive about whatever was going to come next. He stepped towards the specters, his bone sword morphing back into a shepherd's crook as he did so.

"...your neck is bleeding," he said to the girl. "Can I...?" he held out a hand.

The girl cocked her head slightly as Callahan's hand lightly brushed over her throat. As it did, her wound started to heal. The skin fused back together, stopping the flow of blood, and eventually closing completely; there wasn't even a scar left.

"It's okay," Callahan said. "It's all okay. You... you can leave now." He glanced behind the girl. "Look behind you."

She did as she was told. At first her face was blank. But soon, her eyes widened, and she let out a small gasp. The group couldn't see what she was looking at, but if the girl's reaction was anything to go off of, there was definitely something there. She walked towards whatever the invisible anomaly was. And as she did, she slowly faded from view, until there wasn't a trace of her left.

@Pi-Eta

"Really?" Melvin said, his eyes widening with hope. "Well- Let's go, then!"

He practically bolted off in the direction he'd left Florence's body in.

[alliascompany]

Flor watched as in amazement as Callahan healed the girl before she vanished.

[Legendofgenii]

Callan silently watched what was happening. He assumed whatever Callahan and the girl were seeing, wasn’t meant for the eyes of the living.

He gave Flor a glance, wondering if she was an exception. “Do you see anything?”

[Pi-Eta]

He watched Melvin run off, and then got out the device Lambert had given him, examining it closely.

[alliascompany]

Flor squinted.
"No, but I don't feel the girl anymore, " she said.

[KilljoyConstruct]

@Legendofgenii @alliascompany

One by one, Callahan visited with each of the freed souls. Before long, the gunshot wounds on each of the remaining soldiers had vanished. And one by one, each person departed for whatever came next, vanishing from sight in the dim light of the hangar that had imprisoned them for only god knows how long.

When the last ghost had diseappeared, Callahan stood staring at the spot they had walked into for a good minute, the large room completely silent for the first time since the group had entered it. But eventually he turned around, his solid white eyes filled with a strange look.

"Well..." he said. "We need to do an evacuation now, right?"

@Pi-Eta

The device was a small rectangular prism with a bundle of thick wires sprouting from one side of it, presumably intended to be hooked up to the brain of the soon to be reanimated subject. On the other end was a small compartment that Owl could open if he pressed on it. If he did, the little hatch would flip open, revealing the chip that was meant to be implanted into the robot vessel once the digitization of the brain's activity was complete.
