"I don't think it was but could be," Ajal mutters quietly.

"alot of stuff actually came from PRAEGRESSUS so the chances are high, but we've also been dealing with a psychopath from who knows how long ago" tenny remarked with a shrug.

The vines seemed to calm a bit as he got out of tunnel but they seemed to be following Piccary as they paced in front of them. "I don't actually know, Asani did Cypress ever talk about sentient guardian vines?" Bucciarati asked. Asani shook her head, "it'd be nice if we had a flamethrower, bet that would take care of them" she remarked back


"nope! I found the chip's prototype file" she told luna come back up the stairs with a awfully small file in her hands. "It's not much but they did a pretty good job cleaning up after things" she added with a slight sigh. The folder was dark green and had a white stamp that said "Project Wildcard" on it.

Luna looked curiously at the file, "Should I be more concerned about that file and you?"


Ajal frowns, "Okay I didn't know about the Praegressus so fill me in on that please."
"Me too," Clay asks.

"I mean the file's got the plans for the Chips that Ajal's got inside of him so....i'd say the file" she remarked putting it down. It was pretty slim and just had drawings of what the chip looked like with a bunch of notes


"I'm surprised you guys don't know about them,Praegressus is..or was." she seemed unsure if they were still in business. "That did alot of experimentation with genetic alteration,robotics,brainwaves" she listed. "I think they worked with eggman at one point but other than that they kept things under wraps untill they released them to the public, and they've been quiet since eggman tried to take over... but i've heard that some of their protoypes and other stuff had been selling on the black market. Or is being found in abandoned warehouses"

Ajal frowns hearing that part, "I'm so glad I know about them now so I can avoid them."


Luna shutters, "Okay I'm still worried about you."

"i'll be fine" clik reassured her sternly. "There's other people to be more worried about"

"Well....." tenny drawled on, "I think the guild's got some of the tech from them so.... we'll run into it sooner or later"

Ajal growls quietly, "Of course this is just not my week."
Clay looks over at Tenny, "Maybe it can be disabled."


Luna nods once unsure of how to respond.

"I dunno" she shrugged, "I didn't look through the blueprints for the crap they found in random wharehouses"

"So... let's see if there's a way to disable or stun this thing" clik remarked puling out some of the papers. They all had ALOT of small handwriting overtop the already typed blueprints

Luna looked at the handwriting trying to decifer it, "Any clue whose writing this was?"



"That's not reassuring."

"Renny might know!" tenny remarked, untill she remebered that he wasn't there anymore. "he hung out with the guild alot more than I did"

"Dr. Ebon Rhuben Ellis, my father's actually" clik remarked. "he worked with Praegressus for years untill a few years after i was born" she added. "And his handwriting was always sloppy but... that's just what you get for having a doctor take the notes" she joked.
