After I finished talking to Lili, I took my sweet time getting to the meeting room. I went through the open rooms finding more of those blue rocks in them.
Coming to the end of the second hallway, I looked at the plaque on the side of the door, and continued on in.
Cut scene
"Room 502, I presume?" I said while looking smug.
In the room was Mr. Zanotto, Sasha Nein, Milla Vodello, Ford Cruller, and of course, Lili. They were all gathered around a round floating table in the middle of the room, but oddly enough, they were standing behind the chairs. The walls were a dark blue with a purple tile floor. On the walls were maps, plans, blueprints, and some other things I had no idea what were, but no windows at all. The round table took up almost all the room, and there were about ten chairs surrounding the table.
Everyone looked up at me and Milla said, "My darling! It's so good to see you!" She walked over to me and squeezed me until I thought my eyes were gonna pop out.
"It's...good...to...see...you...TOO," I gasped while trying to get air into my crushed lungs.
When she let go, I stumbled a little trying to regain my balance after all the blood that was stopped up was rushing to my head.
"It's good to see you are okay, Razputin," Sasha said while nonchalantly strolling over to where I was standing.
"You mean because I was kidnapped or because of Agent Vodello's hug?" I remarked jokingly.
Sasha chuckled a little, which was seriously rare for him.
"Hey Raz!" Lili announced skipping over then halting next to me.
"Hey Lili! By the way thanks for the map," I responded.
"No problem, knowing you, you would've been lost without me," she joked while gently punching me in the arm.
"No way, I would've made it here eventually." I stated.
While Lili rolled her eyes at me, Ford stopped talking to Mr. Zanotto and walked over to us.
"Well, well, well Razputin, I turn my back on you for one minute and POOF! You go and disappear on me." Ford said mockingly.
"Hey! It's not my fault! I don't even remember it!" I said trying to defend myself.
Mr. Zanotto interrupted by saying, "Well then, why don't we fix that?"
He went over and sat down in the chair farthest from the door. We looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Going to sit down, Lili and I sat directly opposite of Mr. Zanotto closest to the door. Sasha and Milla sat next to each other next to the right wall, and Ford was opposite of them on the left.
"Alright, we know that Dr. Agateo, who is now in custody with a Miss Betsy, is not the mastermind behind my and Razputin's kidnappings. The question now is, who is pulling the strings, and where is their base of command?" Mr. Zanotto continued, "When I was kidnapped, I was locked up and chained against the wall, I had my trusty ukulele hidden in my jacket, but apparently no one noticed it. Then, when I was knocked out, they would do experiments on me. The guards outside my cell discreetly talked about what the "boss" would do to me during the time I was unconscious. They most likely put a knockout pill in my food, and I was so out of it thanks to those pills, that I lost track of time when I was in there."
"Didn't you ever try to escape?" I wondered.
"I had tried many times to escape, but they had put something on my head while I was unconscious that prevented me from using my psychic powers. Once I overheard the guards say that the boss kidnapped a young, new Psychonaut. After some time, I was moved to the floating castle to be brainwashed by Dr. Agateo. I was knocked out when they transferred me, but using my ukulele, I left a psychic trail we could follow with the little psychic energy I could muster through the implant. When you rescued me though, I had the implant removed." Mr. Zanotto concluded.
"So that means we can find where they took you and give the guy who kidnapped you what they deserve!" Lili added happily.
"Yeah, but one problem, I can't remember how to do any of the psychic moves I learned at camp," I said in a depressed tone.
"We'll just have to re-teach you then," Sasha responded.
"Won't that be fun darling?" Milla added.
"Fun? That would be great! When do we get started?" I questioned enthusiastically.
"Right now. We could focus on your other memories later, and I would have a chance to use my new and improved brain tumbler, well if that's okay with you , Truman." Sasha proposed.
"That's a great idea, and while Razputin is re-learning what he needs to, we could focus on locating and coming up with a plan to stop this new threat to the Psychonauts and maybe even humanity itself." Mr. Zanotto said.
"Alright now, Razputin, meet me in room 237 on the second floor. I will be there when you're ready." Sasha stated.
When meeting ended, we all stood up and left the room.
