Guards came, collected them all, and dumped them in the same emergency shelter as the sirens continued blaring.

It was nice enough. Some tables and food storage.

There was also a vending machine. Inside that vending machine was a very expensive-looking box. Maybe it had something important inside.

Nico looks at it from afar. Not his problem.

"Hey!" Vire said. "You're meant to be frozen!" He pressed freeze again as he attempted to dodge. "What did I even do to be shot at in the first place?"

But there was no one to answer him.

Guards appeared behind him and tackled him to the ground, pinning him and rendering him unable to freeze anyone.

One guard grabbed the boxes.

"What are these?"

Cep looks around the shelter. He moves over to a corner and sits, staring at the wall and humming to himself.

Hmph. Fine.

Inside that box were six smaller boxes.

Kishinti grabbed one of the boxes and worked to solve it.

It took him a while, but eventually he was able to open it.

Inside was a Lego piece.

"Are these 20th century Legos?" Lego, of course has survived to the modern day, now ruling several star systems under their plastic fists. Now they make far greater weapons than those 20th century dawdles.

BAHAHAHA

Indeed, they were.

Was this a ploy to distract them all while the guards dealt with Vire?

Possibly.

Was it taking up an obscene about of posts?

Absolutely.

And another Lego piece.

In fact, they all contained Lego pieces save one.

The last contained the most delicious piece of chocolate to ever exist.

Nico takes the Lego and bites it. He's heard that modern ones taste different.

Vire taps the button on the larger box.

This should instantly electrocute anything within a 10 metre radius, except Vire because he's got an implant in his heart that absorbs excess electricity. So when he dies, he'll have a mega-battery somewhere in his corpse.
