Umm, I don't think that I have much to say about this chapter except for the fact that now you get to figure out whats going on! Or hints of it, at least. More hints than actually knowing what's going on. Enjoy =D

Episode Post Two

They took off in a flurry of running feet, leaving the infirmary behind. Once outside they ran into the woods to the entrance to the sewer, down the ladder, across the sewer system, to the exit by the factory. They ran, huffing and puffing, into the elevator, where Ulrich slammed the button down.

"Are we sure he's here?" asked Yumi.

"Got to be," replied Odd. "Einstein could never live without the supercomputer."

As the elevator slowed to a halt everyone turned to face the doors, which were slowly opening. Inside was the familiar scene of the control room, complete with the display being on and the projector displaying an image. What they did not see, however, was Jeremy.

"I'll check what's running on the computer," said Aelita. "Ulrich, Yumi, go check out the super computer room. Odd, you go check out the scanner room."

"Aye aye captain," said Odd, saluting before walking away. "Sure thing princess," replied Ulrich, waving as he took Yumi's hand as they walked to the elevator. I'm glad their finally together, thought Aelita. She immediately stopped thinking about it as it reminded her of her and Jeremy, which hadn't been working out so well as of late. Looking at the computer screen, it appeared to be a very simple construction program working on top of the Lyoko mainframe, designed to construct in 3d. They had been trying to find a way to create monsters of their own while fighting XANA, but the necessary files to create such beings were core to the Lyoko process and in Sector 4, making them inaccessible while XANA existed. What was being created at the time being seemed not be a monster or any sort of automated device, but a stationary object, it appeared to be a building. Aelita tapped at some keys and more windows appeared on the screen. It appeared that there were two processes, one that created objects (there was already a large skyscraper) and the second that positioned them around the map. Where are these buildings? Aelita thought. Glancing through the data, she was able to find that they were in a sector within Sector 4, a small amount of space that was actually a much larger area. After positioning them, the second program made random mutations to the buildings within certain limits which Aelita found it running. In effect, it made a city of non-identical buildings.

Several ideas came to mind as to why Jeremy would do this, but Aelita decided to look at the creation program of the buildings first. While she had expected it to be rather complicated, she had never imagined that there would be so much code for it. She scrolled for thousands of lines, and then thousands more. How did Jeremy have time to program this? she thought. Its giant. Stopping at a random section of the code, Aelita stopped, noting a particular section of the code. It looked familiar, like she had seen it somewhere, but she wasn't sure where from.

"He's not in the scanner room," Odd said, making Aelita jump, she had forgotten that the others were there too.

"Or in the supercomputer room either," Ulrich told her. "We also searched some of the other rooms that he might be in, and he wasn't there."

"I guess that he just left this process running then," replied Aelita. "It's completely automated; no human instructions are necessary.

"Where else could he be then," asked Ulrich.

"How about we shut this thing down again," suggested Yumi. "We don't need it, and we can find Jeremy once we're done." Aelita was about to protest because she wanted to examine the program that Jeremy had set up some more, but then decided against it.

"Well, anyone against it?" Yumi demanded to know.

After a couple moments of silence Yumi started walking over to the elevator. "Let's shut it down then." The rest of the gang followed her into the elevator and down into the supercomputer room. Yumi walked over to the computer and pulled the leaver down into the off position. "We can tell Jeremy why we can't have the supercomputer running once we find him."

"I guess so," said Aelita in a forlorn voice.

"Don't worry," replied Ulrich, patting her on the back. "I'm sure we'll find him right when we get back."


Oh yeah, I kinda forgot how technical I got on the description of the program. If you don't understand don't worry, you probably get the gist of it anyways/
