Lalo and Jet finally stagger their way back into the concrete structure where Martin and Kokichi are waiting. The building itself is quite simple - nothing more than a rectangle in the hills, a bit tall with solar panels just barely visible on a flat roof. Combined with the extremely thick walls, depth visible from the permanently broken metal front door, the general feel is something like a storm shelter or an above-ground vault. Or, given the row of cells, a ramshackle prison. Based on the state of disrepair of the walls and floor, as well as the plants and mold growing on them, this place must have been built quite a long time ago.

Accomodations inside are just as spartan as the walls. Each cell has a bare mattress on the floor and a toilet set into the back wall, there's a large-ish desk in the center of the room for the terminal to sit on, and the three pedestals for the drones to sit on along the wall opposite the cells.

Hour 5 - 6: VII.C.25 (coordinating with the rest of the group, sleeping)
The cells are a good place to sleep. C:

Hour 7: VII.C.25 (paper clip)
None of the callsigns Lalo tries - NPC or otherwise - seem to be accepted, as hitting the "enter" key to submit each one just brings him back to the Password screen.

The terminal is a weird combination of old and new tech, perhaps as a consequence of its relative age. It's a big thing, with a square screen and a built-in keyboard and trackpad like a chunky all-in-one desktop, but the screen resolution and speed the computer processes and loads inputs seems a lot faster than something of a similar design should. It's hard to say if the terminal is actually operating on hyper-advanced technology without taking the thing apart, or getting past the login screen to see what programs are loaded on it.

Lalo has 1 hour remaining before Day 005.
