209845 listened to their conversation with half its attention, while also looking around for any hints. As they walked, the tunnel began to descend, and sure enough, it winded down back in the direction of the virus cavern. Eventually, a bend came up ahead, and from around the corner glowed a faint iridescent light, illuminating the cavern walls. They were here. Time for the leap of faith.

209845 stopped before the bend, signaling with its arms for the others to do the same, and crouched down to inspect the tracks on the earth. Fresh. It stood back up, and turned to the group.

”We must be quiet. Around this bend is most likely the virus chamber; we need to think of a way to sneak in without drawing their attention,” it whispered, then hesitated. “And also without triggering… my protocol.”

Lati stayed quiet above them.

Spirit knew a way, but he didn’t want to make it too easy.

He was an observer, for now.

“If you have a power source, I can ensure our safety and keep us from detection. As to the second point…” she smirked. “I wouldn’t blame you if you need someone to hold your hand.”

Oxy looks directly at 209845 (who by the way looks surprisingly like Oxy) and says "I have a way to make myself invisible. But I can't do it for everyone unless someone provides a power source. Souls, energy, all the like work."

She stayed on the same path. There were footprints in the dust. 

The path eventually let out of the cave, and the tracks vanished with the dust.

"It wouldn't be too hard for me to just go invisible, right?"

She kept going that way. 

She eventually reached the village. There was no immediate sign of 17 or the maker, just some people milling around, going about their days.

Some shrugged and said they hadn't. Others gave her suspicious or uneasy looks, making excuses to hurry on or don't nothing at all. Finally, one woman nodded, pursing her lips. "Yes, they came this way. Why are you looking for trouble like that?"

“The younger of the two ran away, and from what they told me, they were a victim of physical and mental abuse.”

She frowned. "I've never seen the younger before, but the old man is on the village council. A strange man, and unfriendly besides. I might believe what you say."

She nodded. “Thank you for your help, ma’am.”

"His name is Lee Anders. Lives in the large house on the south edge of the village." She gestured vaguely in that direction. "You can't miss it, it's the only one around there with two stories. I'd be careful of him, though, if I were you."

She nodded. “Anyone in town who could disguise me? Probably for the best that I don’t get recognized.”

"Have you been asking many people about these two? Word will get around that you're here for Anders."
