[Ratchet, being technically inclined as he was, had little issue trying to figure out the tower's network - so when the video does come online, there's the view of a adult-but-not-quite Lombax sitting in a chair, ears bent slightly backward and looking apprehensive.]

This letter's a joke, right? Please tell me whoever's running this place just wants a good scare.

[If it was, then... Clank. Alister. Talwyn. They were all gone. Dead. Ironic, considering what happened to him shortly after his own arrival. Maybe it was just some kind of Purgatory and it was an attempt at driving him crazy.

Whatever the case was, the Lombax was clearly shaken by these events one after the other.]

I wanna know everything, even if I've gotta come down and shake it out of every one of you.

Anyway you can do a thorough sweep of the tower? Maybe find some loose wires heading in their direction? If they've got this whole place hooked up, it needs to lead back to somewhere, right?

You, ah... mean 'un-killed' right? [Like undead, but hey you don't die in the first place.] I mean if we're supposedly 'immortal' like you said, then why don't we just keep trying?

[swordofzero]

We couldn't get back in, I'm not sure how we managed to the first time, some slip in security that allowed us to get into the elevator. We woke up in our beds after dying, we were not able to get back in.

[He nods though.] That would be a good idea, though seeing where they go doesn't mean we will be able to follow.

[guardiano_perduto]

So we wait for 'em to slip up again. Play along with what they want for now, and when they least expect it, take 'em with everything we've got.

[It's nice to be part of a good cause again, even if they can't do all that much at the moment. Still, he can contribute, right?]

There's how many of them, and how many of us? We've just gotta put our heads together.

[swordofzero]

That's probably the best idea, more and more people are being brought here, we should hope that they are stretching their control. [Suzaku lives for causes, as he doesn't know any other reason to live.]

[guardiano_perduto]

They did the second they dragged me here.

[swordofzero]

[A blink, either this person was incredibly powerful or just believed he was.] It would be lucky if that were the case.

[guardiano_perduto]

We will get out of here, even if I have to die a thousand times.

[swordofzero]

There are worse things here than death, but I wish you luck and will provide any assistance you need.

[guardiano_perduto]

You got a name I can contact you with, pal?

[swordofzero]

Yes, my apologies. My name is Suzaku Kururugi, and your name is?

[guardiano_perduto]

Ratchet. Remember that, alright?

[swordofzero]

Ratchet. I will.
