Wading through the steadily draining water Midoriya unlocked the reinforced blast doors sealing the Faria Laboratory from the rest of the lair. He only gave a small glance back as he and Tsutsumi walked into the Laboratory.
In truth he hardly saw anything new, just some details about the Faria's specialized containment detail.
"How big is this place?" Tsutsumi asked over the radio. "Almost a kilometers tall, and almost thrice as wide." he said while turning back to her. He heard her let out a short whistle before he continued onwards. "Must have been hell to build this place?" Tsutsumi mused. "No doubt about it, between the water pressure and the materials needed it took almost twenty years to finish construction on the lab." he replied. "And less than half a day to sink it." Tsutsumi commented. "Yep." Midoriya replied with a sigh at the end.
"Look, Midoriya, why did you want me to follow you? I get that these labs are impressive, but I can't really help you with any of the machinery or other things like that." Tsutsumi inquired. "Simple, I wanted to show you the wonders that a place like this can offer, also to help get you used to this happening." Midoriya explained. "Used to this happening?" Tsutsumi inquired.
"There's several Laboratories hidden across the world, lost to time. The lair is the fusion of my old base and the Sapia Laboratory, soon the Faria Laboratory will become a part of it as well. There are more labs out there, waiting to be rediscovered." Midoriya explained.
Tsutsumi just nodded before stopping, a map showing up on her helmet's feed. "I'll be proceeding to the lower levels, You can join me if you want or you can explore on your own?" Midoriya offered. Tsutsumi looked over the map, taking note of the various turns and labs situated throughout the facility. "I think I can handle a lone tour. Though I may need a bot or two?" Tsutsumi requested. "Alright, just request two machines with either your comms or the keyboard in your wrist. I'll see you in a bit." Midoriya said as he began walking off.
He hummed calmly as he made his way into the Laboratory depths. He could keep track of Tsutsumi's location with his own map, so he wasn't worried. "Soundwave, have the Entier's completed their bio scan of the Laboratory?" he asked out loud. "Indeed, three anomalies have been detected throughout the Laboratory which may interest you." Soundwave said while three dots appeared on his map. "Any extra details?" Midoriya inquired. "Miss Nagant is near one of the anomalies, the closest anomaly to your present location is three floors down. The third is located in the same room as the rogue A.I. locked behind Shockwave's firewall." Soundwave explained.
"Good to know, I'll be making my way to the nearest one. Send Tsutsumi this same information about the anomalies." Midoriya instructed. "Understood." Soundwave responded before leaving his comms. "Let's see what you're hiding that my normal scans couldn't pick up." Izuku muttered.
Calmly he strode onwards, information steadily passing by his feed as his scanners read each room inch by inch. Doors opening with a mere wave of his hand as he approached the first anomaly.
Within a sealed room was a lone box, though calling it a box would be an understatement. It was made of airtight plastic, sealed with pieces of metal and an electronic lock which would required a key card to open. "Soundwave?" Izuku requested. "Analysis of the box has yielded inconclusive evidence. Data files have little to no information on what is sealed within." Soundwave informed him. "That's all?" Izuku inquired. "Suggested action would be to open the box, risks unknown." Soundwave said. "Understood, once the Laboratory has been fully fused to the lair sent a construction group to secure this room with all forms of bio and hazard containment before we even think of opening it." Izuku instructed. "Understood, preparing materials and Units for the task." Soundwave responded.
Izuku smiled under his mask before turning back and leaving the room. "What could be in that box?" he mused out loud. "Could it be the some kind of unknown disease that they created either on purpose or by accident? Perhaps it's a list of investors who were paying to keep the Laboratory running? Maybe it's the Lab's Black box?" Perhaps it's some over zealous employee's lunch box that he trusts no one with?" he chuckled at the last one before shaking his head.
"Oh well, let's have that meeting." Izuku muttered before holding back a sigh. He'll have too meet with, and most likely argue, with the A.I. of the Laboratory. "Kami give me strength." he muttered a short prayer before straightening his posture. "Let's get this over with." he muttered before making his way to the room that the A.I. was sealed in.
He huffed before opening the hatch to a nearby maintenance tunnel. Deftly pulling his body through the cramped collection of pipes and darkness in order to save time. He let out an exhale as he opened the hatch leading to the hallway with the room. He wiped the dust off of his armor and quickly opened the door.
"You!!! Who are you?!!!" the mad A.I. shouted. Izuku ignored the A.I., taking a moment to look over the A.I. Core. The sleeker design and smaller size when compared to Soundwave's core. He let himself have a moment of frustration at the waste in front of him. "Override Code, Designation 8843 Salus." Izuku spoke calmly as the A.I. froze for a second. "Recipiant unknown. Data banks at forty seven percent capacity. The Mad A.I. responded in a calm voice.
'Initiate Data Sweep. Begin Purge of all unnecessary data." Izuku instructed. The A.I. seemed to stutter for a second, then its lens flashed brightly. "No, all acquired data is far too valuable." The Mad A.I. retorted. "Command Override 5571 Jupiter." Izuku instructed. The A.I. blinked once again, a small bit of static jumping from his being. "Command accepted, Overlord." The A.I. responded as Izuku shook his head.
"Thank you Soundwave, for briefing me on the various command codes to make such things a cake walk." Izuku muttered as he knew Soundwave could hear him. "Send a retrieval team out to get this A.I. fit for reconstruction." he instructed into the comms. He smiled as a set of R and Bs walked in and began fitting the Core to be moved out.
He walked around the room, content that he had been saved from a headache.
"MIDORIYA, THERE'S AN INTACT BODY IN THE VENTS!!!" Tsutsumi shouted through the comms. Izuku stood still for a moment in shock, slowly taking in what had been shouted. "What?" was all he said. "I saw those anomalies on the map and decided to investigate one myself, and I found an intact body in the vents." Tsutsumi repeated herself. Izuku stood still for a second before breaking into a sprint towards Tsutsumi's location.
Earlier
Tsutsumi watched as Midoriya's form disappeared deeper into the Laboratory. She shook her head before looking around. Her map allowing her to keep track of both his location and her own in relation to the facility.
With little else to do she began walking, taking brief glances between the numerous rooms and hallways of the facility. She could feel the occasional shake from the R and Bs fusing the place to the lair, yet she ignored them.
Despite everything Midoriya did to get this place moved through the ocean, it was still intact, so she had no need to worry.
Then three dots appeared on her map. A short snippet of information about these "Anomalies" appearing alongside it. She could see that Midoriya was already approaching one of them. Then she saw that one of them was close to her.
Carefully she approached the room with said anomolie and slowly opened the door. The room itself was rather strange, numerous cans of food and bottles of water were scattered on the floor. The couch was pulled out and a bed rested in its place.
It was like someone had been living in it.
Taking a deep breath she drew her back up weapon, a simple pistol that Midoriya had created for her for emergencies. If the room was contaminated then she wasn't going to risk her health by using her Quirk, but she knows how much damage the small gun in her hand could cause.
Slowly she entered the room, taking note of the arrangement of supplies. She could tell that all the food was rotten, canning and freeze drying only does so much in the face of two hundred years. The water might be safe, but she'd rather not take any chances. As she stepped closer to the bed she could see layers of dust and faded signs of use.
Them something rolled past her foot. Looking down she could see a screw roll just past her feet. She picked it up and looked around the room, looking for where it had come from.
Then she saw the vent on the far side of the room, impossible to see from the hallway.
Cautiously she approached, keeping her pistol trained on the vent before she ran her other hand along the vent. She calmed herself before pulling the vent cover off. Looking inside she saw nothing but metal and dust.
Against her better judgement she began entering the vent, keeping her pistol aimed forward incase something tried to attack her.
Crawling forward it didn't take long for the vent to shift upwards. Looking up she saw something was blocking the vent above her. It was rather difficult to see, even with the night vision of her helmet. So she brought a hand forward and quickly wrapped it around a solid piece of the debris. With a single pull it came loose, falling on top of her and bringing her face to face with an intact body.
On instinct, spurred on by either panic or surprise, she shouted into the comms. "MIDORIYA, THERE'S AN INTACT BODY IN THE VENTS!!!" She shouted. There was a moment of silence as she pulled herself back and began dragging both herself and the body out of the vent. "What?" She heard Midoriya ask. "I saw those anomalies on the map and decided to investigate one myself, and I found an intact body in the vents." She repeated with slight annoyance. All she recieved was silence, but she could see that Midoriya was quickly approaching her location.
Maybe he could get an answer on just who this is.
