-You see two legs walk right past your hiding spot, a man whistling-
-ROOMS-
-As soon as Klara touches it, the inside needles spring down again-
-Aaand as soon as Luffy puts it on-
-He's stabbed with a number of spikes that go probing in search of his brain-
-BARKLEY-
-There are no visible escape routes-
-He is locked into the room-
Th-then you know. Some of it.
-Lance-
-he laughs, nervously
High command? I'm not going to tell you that. Orders from on high. Besides, things have been... hectic, lately. New management, I've heard.
-Gold-
Wind up toys? You would call them wind up toys? You don't have any idea of what I've been doing do you?
-His eyes dart left and right-
No, it's much more elegant than that... Haha, I'd hardly have the Words come to me for something so simple.
You have seen the boy, yes? The one you gave to me? You had no idea what he is, did you? Oh, what I learned from him.
Out with it then.
Ah... Death has died General. Souls have nowhere to go. It makes necromancy... quite simple, yes, quite simple. Souls search for homes. Some extra conditioning, and...
I don't know why you're complaining. You got your soldiers, didn't you? No more deaths!
City
Looks like we might have to eat on the go.
-To any who are not moving yet, such as Cloud-
Come on.
-When they go outside, John is pointing out of the little alleyway his home is in, toward the main street-
Look.
-There is a crowd of people moving-
-They smell-
-Probably because they are corpses-

-SAM-
My word, he does not seem to be here. Well, I suppose that means, seeing as how this is the one room in this place I can do this in-
Hello Morax! Coming to you live through my mind!
-ROOMS-
-The machine's EEG kicks up again when Luffy puts it on his head-
-And for the briefest of seconds foreign thoughts are being thought with his brain-
-But then he yanks it off and the machine dies again-
-BARKLEY-
-Windos-
I've worked hard. I know what I'm doing, girl. Oh I wish I could have taken a closer look at you all... but I was only ever able to see you from a distance.
-Assassin-
I-I live for my work. The act itself is enough. That I can h-help the cause while doing so... the Will would be happy, wouldn't it?
-He tilts his head slightly-
Sounds like your men killed the last of my creations. Good. It doesn't matter, not now. In the time it took you to get here, other Messians took them. My work. They will make use of them. I'm sure. The writing is just a trick, a trick by the demons.
-He sees Lance looking at it-
Like it, do you? It came, when we summoned it. Do you know what it's from? What it means? It means "You have been weighed, measured, and found wanting". It was speaking to this base. Not me, no.
My old colleague, he was the result of my first failure. The words were the second. But this, this will not be a failure. They have my research, they can make them, and they will save the world from the demons.
-Stanton stares at Barkley-
We can pump the room with sleeping gas. That should give us time to figure out how to open it.
City
-Suzy and Luis-
That's right. Zombies. We've seen a few before, but... never moving like this.
-Chris' eyes dart left and right-
This cannot be good. Whatever is the cause of this. They are not fresh, many of them have been dead for some time, so they are not killing anything... but something is calling them. Something is controlling them.

Zzz... hnnhwh.
-blinks awake-
Feh. I have no reason to do so — if any of you really wished to be helpful, you would try it yourself.
