Don't blink.

As others scatter from the fireballs, Stubbs manages to land a blow hard enough to toss the sorcerer towards one of his own projectiles. The plasma orb proceeds to burn right through his body, and as the wizard gasps for his final breath, all other motes disappear suddenly along with their creator's life. The horizon is clear now, but massive entrance doors start closing behind those who are still inside, separating them from their teammates.


"Because the place was rigged to blow up from the start. The shoddy construction site is a scapegoat for you to destroy with all of its workers and my current body. We don't need missiles to initiate war. It's enough to frame SeeD aligned with Esthar as terrorists, me as a folk hero martyr and that wage slave fodder as a statistic of listed deaths to invoke pity. This will motivate others to fight for Galbadia's cause and bring more dismay as we ascend to power, you fools."

Just as it usually goes, a timer of 180 seconds appears as a mosaic across all of the screens and starts ticking down just as Omar detaches the main hard drive and plants a charge at the central server. And Six along with Lisa aren't escaping as they see Rofocale's silhouette by the wall breach they've used to enter. The man is smiling menacingly and looks like he's expecting a fight.

Six: -decide to enact Plan A, and starts firing at Rofocale with his rifle-

-The DMR spits single shots, which might not hurt all that much, but are surprisingly accurate-


Oliver: ...oh fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK! They cut us off!

-panics on the spot-

-Mercuria exhales loudly as she pulls down her polarity shield-

Mercuria: Okay...that looks rather bad...


Omar: Oh, that is nice. But won't you feel silly if someone were to escape with the knowledge of how you set all this up?

-Continues on as though he still has a job to deal with-

The door is firmly shut now, so other ways to leave the facility need to be found. Especially since the aforementioned countdown is now running on the speakers, illustrating your approaching doom. There are ways to leave the hall via running deeper into the base or trying to ascend to the first floor.

People on the outside meanwhile can see windows near the roof, so if they have any ways to reach the place and get in to help, it's their time to shine.


"Because nobody will listen to you. We've got media and forged proofs at hand. You are going to die and be forgotten."

And as he finishes talking, a barrage of bullets mows his body down like a paperbag, followed by a katana slash. The mangled pile of flesh and clothes lies on the floor, then starts chuckling.

"Earlier I've used only carrion and offal to form my body. Now I've got something better..."

You hear fuel tanks unsealing themselves telekinetically as the liquid rushes towards Rofocale in serpentine streams. In a few moment before you towers a 15-foot-tall humongous amorphous figure of blazing sludge.

"Time to burn! I'M FUCKING HYPERGOLIC!"

Rofocale starts dishing out jets of flame and splashes of burning fuel as the timer ticks out mercilessly.

-After a few moments, Oliver looks up-

-He sees the windows-

-He realizes he is a robot. He has a Jump Kit. It lets him run up walls.-

Oliver: Wait a minute... I can get to them.

-Not knowing there's a timer for the base to explode, Oliver runs up and fires his Jump Kit, blasting through the air. He uses this to kick off of the wall going up, and crashes through the window, somersaulting forwards-

-Unfortunately, he doesn't quite stick the landing and ends up hitting the ground body-first-


-Six, in the meanwhile, immediately takes cover, his shields flaring up as Rofocale's heat singes them-

-Remembering that this is a missile base, he looks around the room they're currently in to try and find some form of fire retardant trigger-

Six: -to Roy- [We're pinned down by Rofocale near the breach we entered by, he's turned into some sort of rocket-fuel fire elemental!]

Mercuria: Okay...no way out this way...let's see if we can find a weaker wall to smash through.

-Accompanies Stubbs, looking around for any kind of way out-


Omar: Oh, I would not be so sure about that.

-Finishes his set up, and being that he's in the surveillance room, he attempts to use what knowledge he has to forcibly hack whatever computers are still functioning to find a way out of here-

Eurybe: Are you ok?


-Lisa is meanwhile just trying to dodge the flames, though her clothes are getting singed-

Oliver: My pride hurts.

-sure, he hit the ground hard, but he doesn't seem to have been damaged beyond momentary inconvenience-

As Oliver and Eurybe land in, they see Stubbs, just entering the room they've fallen into from the entrance hall. The window is indeed an open gateway now.

Meanwhile Akhen, however weird a huge lion with a communication set in his ear might look like, receives the call.

(@Roy) Akhen: What is it?


The charge tossed by Fen gets absorbed into his mass, then... explodes within, making the shape violently erupt and lose its balance along with spouting fire everywhere and forcing people to take cover and evade the inferno.

As Six, Fen and Lisa dodge gouts of flame, the Spartan finally notices a button... Which is sealed by the main server safety code which has to be overrun in order for the function to be executed. Said function seals the room and deprives in of oxygen in 30 seconds since the moment of activating it.

Guess which codes did Omar find as he fiddled with the computer, along with controls for a set of doors - which doors, though, is still a mystery.

(Since Cath helped out Black Hole with that earlier plan, he decided to help her out.)

Black Hole: (@Cath) Hold on tight! This is gonna be rough! (offers a hand to Cath. If she accepts, Black Hole would attempt to merge into the shadows with Cath and escape before it's too late)

Oliver: [Is anyone else trapped in the base? Respond if you are!]

-heads over to Stubbs when he appears-

You know if anyone else is in here?


-As Six sprints out of the current room and away from the wall breach thanks to Fen nearly incinerating everyone, he does indeed notice in the hallway that specific button for the fire retardant system-

-Hoping it'll work, he moves towards it and hits it, knowing there's no time to get his teammates out of harm's way but figuring they'll survive without oxygen longer than they will being incinerated by a man made of burning rocket fuel-

-And just in case the fucker manages to somehow survive longer than that, finally remembering he has a tracking beacon he tosses it near where Rofocale's "body" is-

-Nothing disrupts fire faster than something getting directly into its place, and the Terrans are composed of 95% armor by volume-
