Upon entering Octovalley they end up on top of several floating platforms. Sarah looks around then launches to another floating platform. Hunter follows behind. When he lands she was standing onto of a kettle. "We have to go through Dome 226 to get into 225 due to the collapse" Hunter nods and follows her. They end up in Dome 226. Once there he looks around. it was mostly still in tact. "What was this dome used for?" Sarah stops. "I don't want to talk about it." She had her hand to her chest when she said that. Hunter looks down at the ground. "I'm sorry i didn't mean to bring up bad memories." Sarah just continues on. "The way we have to go is a bit of a maze...Stay close" She heads off passing by a door that was for authorized personal only. Upon entering it was clear what this done was used for. They passed by several windows. Inside the windows was various surgery rooms. Hunter stops. "Is this place...an Octoling experimentation lab?" Sarah stopped. tears welled up in her eyes. "Can we keep moving..Please!" Hunter walks over to her and pats her back. "Yes. What happened here is in the past. It doesn't change who you are." Sarah nods, and starts walking again. They walk up to another wing, but the door was smashed in by some debris. "Crap...were going to have to go through the vents." Hunter nods. "lead on." She leads him further into the laboratory. The shadow version on him was walking next to him. "Isn't it beautiful? The torment these subjects must have went through. The way she is acting i can only guess she was one of them." Hunter tries his best to Ignore him.
They reach the main ventilation area. Sarah kicks open the vent and crawls inside. Hunter follows close behind, but was dragging the container as it couldn't fit on his back while in the vents. Sarah spoke up. "Thank you for being so nice to me back there. I...I don't know what came over me there. Just..all those memories of this place. It will forever haunt me." Hunter sighs. "I know how you feel. To have Memories that haunt you every day. I'm still living with that demon." The other him laughs though Hunter couldn't see him. Sarah stops and looks back. She could tell tell from his voice he wasn't lying. She turns back and continues. She stops when they heard a loud pop. "Uh oh" Sarah had said that just as the vent section she was in collapses. Hunter had grabbed her leg to keep her from falling too far. Hunter was surprised how far off the ground they were. Sarah points to something Hunter couldn't see. "Swing me that way!" Hunter begins swinging her he lets go when she was as far as he could move her. She does a flip and lands on a walkway. "Back up and i will open the vent for you!" Hunter backs away from the opening kicking the container back as he did. Once he was far enough she jumps up to the vent and cuts out a section of it. big enough to allow Hunter through. Hunter crawls to the new hole and passes her the container He then drops out of the vents. He gets up and takes the container back. Sarah points to a ladder but also makes a shush noise.
Curious to what she meant he looks down and sees a Reaver-Bot. They quietly go down the ladder to the ground floor where the bot was. They take cover near the ladder behind some pieces of the roof. This Reaver-Bot was standing nearly 8 ft. tall, and resembles the Octo-Samurai of old. Its Fuchsia eye was examining the piece of air duct that fell. It picks it up with its left arm and looks into the duct. It drops the duct and looks around the room. It readies its cannon that was its right arm. It walks around the room searching for any signs of something being there recently. When it got close to Hunter, and Sarah's location Hunter Lays on top of her keeping her hidden as best as he could. Its hand grabs the debris and was about to move it when another bang happens. It stands up and looks in the direction of the bang. Then quickly storms off to that location. Once the metal footsteps were no longer there Hunter gets off of Sarah. "Sarah come on we have a window we need to move" Sarah nods and moves towards the emergency exit to the room. Hunter follows behind keeping an eye out for that thing. She stays silent till they were at the door that led to Dome 255
