Riley stands in the corner, an amused smirk on their face. The unflattering jumpsuit from earlier has been replaced with an exquisitely cut European three-piece suit. Their hair still has streaks of dried blood but has been combed back and braided.

"Congratulations. It's not every day you can claim to take down an elder vampire."

They frown at the console screen, which continues to flash "W̴̩͊͊̐͠ͅE̷̛̙͔̦͔ ̵̡̳͓̰̟̍̉̏Ḩ̴͖̙͕̈́̉̕͘À̶̢̑͊̄̑̈͘͝Ṽ̶̝̘̭͉̤̱̯̀̌͒ͅE̵̢̜̮̜͔̰̘͐͜ ̴̭̝̺̄͛̄̏̿̚͜L̶͈̩͔̯͗̈́̔̕Ă̷͈̘̋͒͝C̴̯̮̮̱̘̏͒Ě̶̩͕̠͎̗̠̣̎̓̓̑̃͘!"

"Yeah, well, she ruined my jacket," Steven says as he turns toward one of the less damaged brains, "so it's not like we got through completely unscathed."

He asks, "What do you mean, you have Lace? Where is she?"

(ooc: That's a really cool effect with the computer's words.)

Alana stands outside the doorway panting and looking in. Everything was so small when she shifted to this form. She lets out a low growl at the screen. Though a part of her mind wants to interact with the console, the more feral side wants to rip it apart. "Get out now" was what her phone said. They had to leave. Now. She didn't particularly want to go running for the vampire twins. She would scare them anyway. But at least that was in the direction of "out".

Alana steps back a bit from the doorway, looks at Fynn, and gives a small canine whine. He deserved a smack for closing the door but it made sense..... somehow. He seemed unhurt from being out with the twins, so he'd at least know if it was worth going after them.

Steven turns to Alana, “I see you’re not in any state to deal with this computer right now.” He looks up at her, “Quite impressive, though.

The console goes blank for a moment. Then streams of words and symbols rush across the screen. They move in random directions too quickly to read. Sentences crash into each other before a "coherent" message appears on the screen.

Riley's shakes their head and walks over to the two remaining brains. They place a hand on the glass, scratching it with unseen claws.

"I doubt you'll get much out of this...abomination. A small screech from the glass underlined their words as the claws dug deeper. "It answers only to one master." Their next words were soft, barely audible, tho the derision was clear. "And I very much doubt it's the master the creators had in mind for it."

Steven turns toward Riley, "What do you mean? Who, or what, does it serve?" He sighs, "And how are we supposed to find Lace?"

“Imagine, if you would, a group of people so intent on shaping the world to their own, sterile view that they would naively dip their fingers into insidious corruption. However the natural chaos in the world always finds a way to make things difficult for them. Now, these people are not numerous, but they have multitudes of resources. Therefore, they would build a machine…” Riley waves a hand to present the room. “A machine to monitor and control that which they could not. Said machine would have to be able to adapt to any circumstance, of course, and must act with limited supervision. It all sounded so easy for such a group that idolizes science and technology. But somewhere along the way, their project became a blight...”

With a smash, Riley shatters the glass and rips out one of the damaged brains. The brain smells distinctly like 'vampire’ to those that can determine such.

“'Monitor’ becomes 'Infect’ and 'Control’ becomes 'Destroy’. Thus, their precious, little 'Light’ comes to life as a monster not quite of their own choosing but definitely of their own making.”

Riley drops the brain onto the floor and pushes a stray lock of hair out of their face with a smirk.

“All monsters have a weakness, tho, and Luke happens to be bound by the same technology it was made with. It takes a lot of computational processing for such a being to act quickly. Even with distributed centers like this, there’s a main hub that Luke calls ‘home.’ Find that main server room; find Lace. Sounds simple enough, right?”

Riley winks. ;)

Alana gives a big toothy, canine grin at the brain dropping to the floor. Her muscles flex and her bones crack as she shifts down to a faster, more wolf like form and begins running for the twins. They would know where Lace was. Her mind was clouded with only a few thoughts. Hunt, anger, protect.

"Then I guess we need to find the 'main hub'," Steven responds after a moment, watching as Alana takes off, then looking around at the destroyed room. He looks back at Riley, "I don't suppose you would have any idea where to start looking?"
