Sighing to himself, knowing that nothing godd was going to come of this, Snipes continued to follow Phantron in, while making sure he would be able to escape unnoticed if Phantron came back this way unexpectedly.

'What is going on, Phantron?'

Snipes thought to himself.

Kyle: Hey, Blue, does this look like it'll connect to your gem?

Kyle motioned for Blue to look at a small rock he had found in the dirt. Blue inspected closely.

Blue: Hmm...yes, I think it is!
Kyle: Good, 'cause I was starting to lose interest in this search.
Blue: Now, just let me put it in the slot with the other part of the gem...

Blue walked over to the statue, and fiddled with the two gem pieces. There was a clicking noise from the gem being inserted, and instantly the room shook and lit up in a blinding flash! The signal appeared once more, but then died down after a few seconds. Up on top of the mine, Cyberaptor looked in alarm at the energy beam.

Computer: Look! The people below us triggered the light again!
Cyberaptor: Computer, record everything that happens next.
Computer: Confirmed.

Down below, Kyle and Blue got up off of the ground - the strong vibrations had knocked them down. When they got up, the recorded message of the transparent woman played again, but in a language they couldn't understand. Kyle and Blue looked at each other.

Blue: What now?
Kyle: We definitely found something, but I can't understand it!
Blue: Stupid statue thing!

Blue hit it hard with his wing. The apparition flickered, but started speaking in English!

Blue: Heh...wow, what do ya know? I have no way to explain how that happened!
Kyle: Shh! Quiet!

Apparition: ...However, it was foreseen that a day might come that it need be taken again, and so this test was created...

Blue: What's this crazy lady talking about!
Kyle: Be quiet, and we'll find out!

Apparition: ...Know that if you are pure of heart, you may make it to each of the eight sites and find this great treasure...

Blue: Tuh-tuh - TREASURE?!
Kyle: Shut up!

Apparition: ...warning to those with dark intentions - the trials are made to sort out those who are unworthy, those who will use the powers of the treasure for evil. Turn back now, or a terrible fate will await you...

Blue: You're not evil, are you?
Kyle: No! Now stop squawking!!! I want to hear what this is about!

Apparition: ...you will begin the test. You must journey around this continent to locate each of the eight keys. Upon finding a key, it will point to the following one, and enable you to gain it. It is not possible to skip a key, as its power is required for obtaining the next. Once you procure the eighth key, you will be allowed access to the treasure chamber.

Blue: Eight keys, eh? Sounds like an adventure to me...
Kyle: Blue!

Apparition: ...first step will take place in the Jungle, just to the West of this site. Locate the Nightmare Weed. Inside its base is the next key, which will reveal where you must travel next. The plant is a terrible foe, and cannot be defeated without proper equipment.
To slay it, take the Radio Ring, the first key. Its powers will render the Nightmare Weed harmless, if wielded properly.

Blue: Eh? Radio Ring? Where's that?
Kyle: I'm not sure...and if you say ONE MORE WORD - !

Apparition: Also, take this map. On it is the location of every key. It also shows the area of every place you must travel. Value it, and do not lose it. It serves more purposes than one.
Go now, and prove yourself. But remember this crucial advice

At the sound of the beam, Snipes jumped, accidentally sending down a shower of small rocks. Startled, Snipes raced back up the tunnel, hoping that phantron had not seen him. Whatever those people in the mine had done, Snpes wasn't about to be a part of it. Reaching the surface, Snipes sat down and shook his head

"What were they thinking?"

As Phantron raced toward the chamber where Blue and Kyle were, her sensors detected that a large beam of light had appeared.

Then, she heard a voice... she must be getting closer!

Then, she reached Kyle and Blue as they were about to exit the chamber.

Phantron stopped right in the doorway, blocking the exit.

Phantron: "You... you are the ones that triggered this light, don't you? Well... it looks like we won't be friends. You see... All those who enter this mine may have entered in contact with the air pirates... and all those who enter in contact with the air pirates must die for my secret to remain, well, a secret... and even if you hadn't met them, you have seen me. All those who see me must perish... it is for the good of everyone. Now..."

Phantron's eyes flashed red as she roared. Obviously, this golden armless mechanical thing was NOT friendly!

ooc: I guess that means Snipes is doomed. Not good for his longevity, I guess.

looking orund while he was sitting down, Snipes thought for a second that he had registered movement near the mouth of the cave, but looking again he saw nothing. The lightning had left some damage, and Snipes' headache was returning. Shaking his head, Snipes thought he saw more movement above the cave, but dismissed it to the headache.

"Maybe I just need some sleep. At the same time, now just doesn't seem like the right time..."

In spite of his choice, Snipes nodded off.

OFF: Maybe, maybe not. Phantron, like most villains, tend to play with heroes unstead of killing them outright... and anyway, Phantron said it herself.

She needs Snipes alive in order to get his abilities. Now I need CheesePie to reply since Phantron has encountered his characters...

OOC: I was stalling a bit for Possessed, but I guess I could move a little bit more.
-----

With their attention pulled from the statue, Kyle and Blue noticed Phantron and Vincent. Not that it was hard to, with Phantron being murderous and all.

Blue: OMG teh spies!!!!!1!!!1
Kyle: What?
Blue: We were being watched! And now we're going to be attacked!
Kyle: Whoah, hold on! Who the heck are you both?
Blue: Yeah! And try anything funny, and we'll be forced to eliminate you!

Suddenly, Cyberaptor dropped down through the hole from his place on the top of the mine. His jetpack activated ten feet from the ground, stopping him in the air and giving him height over the four.

Cyberaptor: No! Kyle, Blue, do not fight this monster!
Blue: Okay, now who are YOU?!

Some lights on Cyberaptor's armor turned off, and his computer made some clicking noises. It was shutting down. But before it finished, Cyberaptor's left claw transformed into a gun, which launched a grenade at the ground in front of Phantron. Instantly, the grenade collapsed, and a green gas seeped out, covering the room in seconds. Though it had no effect on Kyle, Blue, and Vincent other than making it very hard for them to see, to machines it was the equivalent of a sleeping gas. It would burn through metallic armor, and then travel through circuits and data streams like a deadly poison, until it eventually reached the 'brain' and shut it down for a few minutes. Cyberaptor turned off his computer to avoid these effects.

Cyberaptor: This machine you are confronted with is far beyond your power. It is in my nation's best interest that you survive this encounter, and so I give you a chance to escape. However, though I am helping you now, I warn you that you must give up this treasure hunt. If you choose to continue, I will be forced to stop you by any means. Now flee!

Kyle and Blue were a bit confused, but they decided that there was some side to this story that they didn't yet know. Blue finished rooting around in his backpack, and quickly pulled out a circular disc that swirled with blue and purple stripes.

Blue: Here it is! My pad! My warp pad! Step on this, Kyle, and hold your breath. We will be instantly teleported to my home!

Blue tossed it on the ground and jumped on it with Kyle. Immediately, the two shrunk away into nothingness, along with the pad! Seeing the two escape safely, Cyberaptor used his jetpack to fly back out of the hole, and he continued flying off into the horizon.


Several minutes later, as Cyberaptor was gliding along the rocky ground, he rebooted his computer.


Computer: ...Ah, nice nap.
Cyberaptor: ...

There was pause.

Computer: Why did you choose to save the two back in the mine, Cy?
Cyberaptor: ...From my observations of Phantron, I noted that it...she, contained a power far beyond mortals. She has set out to destroy any life forms that have come into contact with a certain band of air pirates...my next mission will be to locate them. Apparently, she decided that Kyle and Blue had, however indirectly, made contact with them, and would certainly have killed them there. I could not allow that, as the two may be important to us later.
Computer: ???
Cyberaptor: Although, if they decide to search for the treasure, I will have to stop them. History records stored inside Profound Idea give clues to a type of item in the treasure horde that grants the user infinite power. No one must be allowed to find that.
Computer: Indeed. I am intercepting a transmission that could be coming from a pirate airship. They could be nearby...
Cyberaptor: Perfect.

Cyberaptor shifted his direction a little bit, and then headed toward the jungle.

ooc: By now it must be the next morning, at least, right?

Waking up, Snipes wondered where he was for a moment, before realizing what had happened the previous night. Shaking his head, Snipes stood up and looked around. Unable to find phantron anywhere, Snipes decided to have a small look around the general area. Walking over to the edge of the island, Snipes noted that there was a long fall down, and around the mine entrance, Snipes could see evidence of rockslides. To the west there seemed to be a forest, and to the east a desert area. Not really knowing what to do, Snipes wrote a message in the sandy area near the mine entrace and lit a small LED near it to notify Phantron. The note read,

Phantron- I left for a little bit to get some supplies. Since it looks Like I might be here a while, I thought it would be a good idea.

With that, Snipes took off towards his home.

Slowly, Phantron awakened as her nice self.

She looked around completely confused... how had she landed in this mine? Where was Snipes?

Phantron activated her thrusters and slowly flied out of the mine trought the opening in the ceiling. Then, she headed toward the place where Snipes was supposed to be waiting for her... and only found a letter.

Phantron read it and felt a bit upset.

Phantron: "Was it THAT much of an emergency?!? Couldn't he have waited for me to return before going to get supplies?"

Then, Phantron just realised she had no memories of why she had gone toward the mines...

Phantron: "Eerr... and why did I left in the first place? Hmm... well... mustn't be important if I cannot remember it! After all, I am a robot and unlike biological beings, we have control over what we forget and as such, do not forget important stuff!"

Phantron stood there and waited for Snipes' return...

Getting to his home, Snipes grabbed a fe items, including several mechanical repairs packs, Lights, some paper, pencils, and batteries. Before leaving, Snipes grabbed a few other items and headed back to the island, hoping that Phantron wasn't too confused by his sudden departure. Getting back to the island, Snipes met Phantron there.

"Sorry I kept you waiting. I didn't know how long you would be, so I grabbed a few items. I explored a bit of the immediate area, so we could plot it down and use this area as a home base, if need be."

OFF: to Darkflight: Phantron decides to look at Snipes and see more in-detail what he looks like. After all, she didn't got quite a good look of him when she first met him!

...this means that in your next post, you should put in the full physical description of Snipes.

____________________________________________________________________

Phantron: "Ha! There you are! I just wonder... why didn't you wait for me? I don't know why I left but since it was erased from my memory, it must have been something trivial and thus, wouldn't have taken that much time, isn't it?"

Phantron awaited for Snipes's reply. As she waited, she began to look at him more carefully, analysing his body's shape and his overall design... After all, she hadn't taken really the time to analyse his body fully when she first met him. She was too busy looking for breaches in his armor and fixing them to really notice what he was looking like...

ooc: I'll PM it to you, I don't think anyone reading this may appreciate a full description, it's kinda big.

Looking sideways at Phantron, Snipes realized something big had happened, but didn't comment on it.

"Actually, you took about two hours. I left an hour and a half in, after leaving that message for you. I didn't think you would have returned so quickly after that. Sorry. Anyways, I brought some stuff, have a look."

With that, Snipes opened the duffel bag he had brought back with him. Inside it contained, among other things, a GPS unit, 2 two-way radios, some flashlights with spare batteries, a couple of repair kits "In case we need them", and some other odds and ends.

"I brought these since I didn't know how long I'd be here, and you are the only person I've seen here. The only reason I can guess that you forgot everything was that maybe, like for my systems, memory is block-written to the filament chips. That would mean that if the recent write hadn't occurred, all the data from the past two hours would only have existed in RAM and been erased when whatever it was happened down there."

Phantron had not heard half of Snipes' words...

Phantron *thinks* Why is that happening... to a robot? I was not designed for such things... and yet...

Phantron was busy looking at him...

For some reason, her mechanical heart had started pumping at a faster pace and she felt as if her systems were activating a process she had no control over... a process triggered by her perceptions... or maybe was it the process that changed her perceptions? She didn't knew which was which... and frankly, she did not care at all.

Snipes was obviously a humanoid robot... but something about him made him look radically different from all the other humanoid robots she had ever seen...

Still, this intrigued her... Snipes was built to look like a somewhat common human. He was a bit tall but not too much, a bit like her exept he wasn't as large in width as him. His arms were larger than average but he wasn't an ultra strong robot obviously... his armor was made of a somewhat dull grey... but the grey looked great and even cool with the parts of black heavy armor on top of the main armor. His face was somewhat normal... but there was something in his hair and his deep, blue eyes that fascinated her...

He was so ordinary and yet so extraordinary at the same time... he was made according to a common design and yet, his estethic style had been pulled off in a graceful and unique way...

...and his personality contributed to make him even more unique. Altought she had seen many "cool" acting robots before, they had all felt fake... Snipes was different. He was naturally cool and his personality was the fruit of his own reprogramming trought his years of experience, not trought five tiny seconds of starting up a preset personality.

He was truly the most unique robot she had ever seen... but then, as her mechanical heart continued to beat and the process began to take effect, she found out her definition of Snipes was incorrect.

He was not unique... he was...

Phantron *thinks* This... this cannot be... I am a robot...

...and yet, it was. He was not unique, he was... attractive. She found him really, really attractive despite the fact they had met just so recently... and yet, Phantron couldn't help but wonder if this was possible.

After all, mechanical beings were not designed for such a thing. She knew very well she was not designed for such events... and yet...

Phantron *thinks* I'm calling myself a "she"...

This evidence struck her. If she would truly not be designed for that, she wouldn't feel the need to call herself a "she". An impersonnal "he" or an "it" would have been enough... and yet, she felt the need to call herself a "she"...

Indeed... she had a "gender polarity". Altought her true function was unknow to her, she knew that the "gender polarity" played no role in her function... and yet, it had been implemented.

But then, she wondered, how could she find Snipes attractive? She was not even sure he was a true "he"... but then again, she could feel something in the way he acted, in the way he was evolving mentally, in the way he was living... there was definitely something that defined him as a "he" and that, even if he happened to lack a "gender polarity" at the time of his activation.

Phantron smiled sweetly and blushed... within her, a cursed power, totally independant of that pleasant process that was filling her veins with the drugs biological beings call "hormones", was awakening.

The power called to Snipes... to his soul... but the call went unanwsered...

...

Phantron: "Err... well... my memory... in RAM, right? Yeah... right... hee..."

It was obvious Phantron had not fully understood what Snipes and unless he was completely blind, he would also realise what was happening before his eyes...

Realizing what was happening, Snipes also heard the call. However, because he did not yet fully trust Phantron to the core, he ignored the call.

'No, something else is going on here... I don't like it. This Phantron I'm seeing is nice, but I have trouble believing this is the real Phantron. The nice Phantron loves me, apparently, but, it isn't safe for me. I'd have to remove the other danger first.'

Because of this, Snipes returned the smile, but at the same time, another memory drifted to the surface, this time of a hatred, followed by nothingness for the longest time, before the memory disappeared.

"Phantron, Are you even listening to me? You seem like you're somewhere else."

'I know I've started to get feelings for her, but I need to help her out in one way first.'

ooc: Zerodius, Snipes is starting to suspect Phantron's real self. She messed up bigtime when she went evil on Snipes. Like I said, he's a very shrewd judge of character.

EDIT: ooc: To anyone reading this, I sent a PM to Zerodius with Snipes' description.

BBBWWREEAAAAOOWWRR!!!

Kyle and Blue spun back into existence at the receiving warp pad! Once they regained their balance, Blue looked around the area and sighed happily. It had been a bit since he had been home. Kyle, however, wondered how anyone managed to call the place home.

They were in a dark, stone chamber, lit by torches with green flames. Many other dark halls branched off into yet darker rooms. It was a very eerie place.


Blue: Good thing that velociraptor saved us from that robot. What do you think that was about?
Kyle: I'm not sure...but if they have anything to do with this treasure, then I think we'll find out soon. So, where are we?
Blue: Ah, right, almost forgot. Welcome, Kyle, to the RWP! It's an entirely different forum, by the way.
Kyle: Forum? What's a forum?
Blue: I don't know. I think it involves physical beings that write our fates on keyboards as if it were a game, or more correctly, an RP. Imagine that, huh?
Kyle: I think you're crazy.
Blue: Thank you, I think you're crazy too. Now, follow me as we descend into the heart of this underground lair. We'll find my old chamber, and we can pack some equipment.

Blue led Kyle down a series of passages for several minutes, until they eventually reached a blue room. In the room were several stacks of paper, posts Blue had previously made, and a single picture hung in the middle of a bare wall. The picture appeared to be of a strange blue door with four indistinguishable shapes in front of it - Blue's avatar. Also, a slogan was beneath it - Blue's sig. Blue walked over to a closet, and started rummaging around.

Blue: So, what do you think? Nice place, huh?

Kyle looked at a bowl of punch that was set on a table. Blue happened to glance up as Kyle stirred it a bit with the spoon.

Blue: Oh dear God! Don't drink the punch!
Kyle: Why not?
Blue: It contains chemicals that are toxic to over 1,134 life forms. It doesn't affect me, but you might not like it.
Kyle: Whatever you say, man.

Kyle tried to position himself in the middle of the room, away from everything else. A few minutes later, Blue returned with a backpack slung over his shoulder, and he tossed Kyle a strange green bag.

Blue: Take this. It's a void pack, a bag that can store an infinite number of items. Very useful, just don't put one void pack inside of another or it causes a rip in space or something. I've got all the food and water we'll need for several Wednesdays, not to mention any kind of adventuring equipment you could think of. So, you ready to go on this quest?
Kyle: Totally.
Blue: Then, let's go! To the jungle, our first destination of eight! And to fight some nightmare plant or whatsit!

Kyle and Blue returned to the warp pad, and waited a few more minutes before using it, to allow time for Phantron to leave. They really had no way of telling what was happening at the other side...

OFF: Actually, this could be a very good plot twist. Phantron created this "nice" version of herself in order to get Snipes' abilities... but her true personality is not the most ancient one but the most "alive" one, the dominant one. As such, if Phantron's nicer self's love (or whatever other feelings she may have) grow stronger than the original's hatred for all life, the original Phantron will become unable to erase her nicer self.

____________________________________________________________________

Phantron suddenly got out of her dream world and this time, she understood all of Snipes' words.

Phantron: "Huh huh huh?!? What?... oh... NOW I understand. Sorry, don't know what happened. Some kind of strange bug caused me to somehow becomes trapped into my own toughts. I'm now free however. There's no need to repeat what you said. I automatically keep records of what people say in my recent memories..."

Phantron closed her eyes and chased the pictures of Snipes out of her mind. Then, she remembered what he had said that she had ignored...

Phantron opened her eyes...

Phantron: "OK... I didn't tought I had been gone for two long hours, actually. This worries me... how could such a large part of my recent memories be missing?... but however, this could be nothing. You see, as a free-willed robot, I choose myself what memories to erase in order to keep my memory chip in a good condition. Maybe my trip into the mine revealed itself to be deathfully boring, thus explaining me not remembering it!"

Phantron then approached the supplies...

Phantron: "I see that you made quite a good choice for the supplies. This will be very useful for us. Anyway... I... huh?"

Suddenly, something went wrong with her memory chip. A part of her memory that belonged to her real, evil self leaked into her nicer self's memory...

Phantron: "OH! I... I just remembered something about my trip to the mine! A very important info! Critical information even! OK! It seems that several creatures are trying to open the door that protect a very important artifact of some kind... and for some reason, in my memory, the treasure is considered. What is weird is that it's important in a secondary way, not primary... but still, it's important. In fact, the indications as how to find it are more important than the treasure itself, which is weird... anyway! According to what I remembered, we must find something called the Radio Ring. This will allow us to extract a plant know as the Nightmare Weed in the jungle to the west of the main island. This Nightmare Weed is some kind of key and is vital for some reason."

Phantron stared at Snipes for a few seconds, not saying anything...

Phantron: "I wonder... did you came to investigate about this treasure matter or something?"

ooc: too bad for the villain that Snipes wants to help eliminate the evil Phantron, because he knows that there is mroe to her than meets the eye. also, would the original Phantron be erasable?

"Actually, I came here because of the beam; I had originally wanted only to find out what had caused it, and if it concerned the area I live in. If it does, then I'm involved here, otherwise this situation has nothing to do with me, in which case I'd only be here to help you, really. Just remember, Like I said, block writing. It does have it's problems, and spontaneous shutdowns are the worst, because block writing reduces overall CPU usage. Have you ever been sidetracked, and blanked out for a second or two before, as in not noticing anything? That's block writing occurring."

With that, Snipes pulled out the paper and began to draw a rudimentary (by robot standards) of the island, drawing in what he knew about it and writing in an X, with "Base Camp" beside it.

"Ok, we can use this as a reference if we need to. One thing bothers me- why would you need to preserve your filament chip? Each segment is an isolated gold atom, after all. Anyways, anything else you need?"

ooc: The filament chip are based off of real chips that were invented in the Wn95 days, but were too fast to be used by those computers. They were that good.

EDIT: so, what would happen if Phantron were switched to good permanently? where would we get a new villain?

OOC: I though that the pirates were kind of that villians for this story. You know the cut throats who will do anything for gold, not that i really di-approve of that.

Waking up Vincent couldn't see anything. Looking frantically around he realized he was in a cave. He had just turned to the entrance and seen something gold when suddenly he could only feel a burning pain inside himself...Daiel...

Vincent: Okay Daiel, you can come out now.

Daiel: Oh, you sound so angry...and yet you are the traitor. You leave your homeland when it needs you most. and for what? Some feeling?

Vincent: You're what, twelve? Why do you presume to give me orders and judge me

A young, and very ordinary looking, villager comes out of the shadows behind Vincent. It was Daiel. With dark blonde hair blue eyes and standing about 3'5" he was very un-impressive. The only thing to mark him out was the wooden sword on his back.

Daiel: I will leave you here but just remember that you are a neccessary piece of the puzzle in our land. You and I both know that gunpowder is not really technology and therefore the guns which have stayed away for so long will be put into effective us against our forces.

Vincent: You know as well as I that the bugs push on those who are not to be spoken of as forcefully as they do us...for now I will remain here. That is my final decision.

Suddenly Vincent was alone. Making his way to the mouth of the cave he noticed Snipes and Phantron talking, but didn't recognize either one. Stopping at the edge of the cave Vincent began listening to what they were sayting rather than interupting.

OOC: Yeah, Jackson's crew is some of the 'villains' in this story, along with Phantron...unless she turns good real soon. But I see that Zerodius has got a good plot going with her good side liking Snipes and all...it could go places. As for more antagonists, I might bring in Ghost, though I think he'd mostly just bother Kyle and Blue (or anyone else that joins them...if that happens.)

Also, I believe that the whole island should be described now. I'd like to get a picture in soon, but you'll have to go with a description for now.

The very center of the island is mostly just badlands, and in the middle of this is the mine.
To the west is the Grapevine Jungle, the first part of the journey.
Above that, at the NW part of the island is a large, sandy desert.
Between this and the North part of the island is a small temperate forest.
The North side of the island has several parts - one gigantic snowy mountain, with a rocky canyon just at the base, and a big cavern level inside of the mountain.
At the NE part of the island is a big beach, with a smaller island farther to the North.
Next to the beach, at the far East side of the island is an enormous trench, with many clouds set above the base. It's sort of like a 'sky world'...
SE is more badlands, like in the center of the island, but this part is more grassy...and stormy too. Lots of tornados and winds storms...
At the South part of the island, all the way across of the icy mountain, is a volcano. It was mentioned a few times, I think.
And finally, at the SW part and just next to the jungle is a big radioactive wasteland, with a suspicious mechanical city built to the side of it.

We'll all be kept busy for some time.

And also, about the Radio Ring/Nightmare Weed. The Nightmare Weed is a big plant monster at the heart of the jungle that guards the second 'key', but it is extremely hard to fight without the Radio Ring that Jackson currently has. The Radio Ring grants the user an attack ability that is effective against plants.

Finally...about the treasure...naw, I'll let you form your own theories about what it is, if it even exists at all...
-----

Blue and Kyle walked out of the chamber silently. As they came to the end of the tunnel, they saw Vincent listening in on someone...though they couldn't see whom.

Blue: Sheesh, this place is busy all of a sudden. You don't think we have competition now, do we?
Kyle: Well, news of an enormous fortune could spread pretty quickly. If we're serious about finding it, we should leave these guys alone.
Blue: Yeah...or we could put them at a disadvantage! You know, point them in the wrong direction, slow 'em down...
Kyle: We don't know that they know that we know about any treasure. We could just leave through the back of the mine.
Blue: I have a better idea! We take that guy in the armor over there, and question him!
Kyle: Blue - !!!
Blue: Hey, you, over there! With the face!

Blue walked over to Vincent.

Blue: What're you doing here? You didn't happen to hear anything about a treasure, did you?! DID YOU?!

OOC: Just so you know Vincent is supposed to be a pretty big guy

Without looking Vincent moved his left hand to cover Blues mouth but stopped without really touching him.

VIncent: Quiet if you value your life. I have never trusted robots and these two look even more suspicious than you two.

When the two robots went silent Vincent turned and walked a little ways into the cave.

Vincent: Now, you will tell me who you are, you will make no hostile or sudden movements and you will remain quite. I am Vincent, now answer me quickly. Kyle...I know you're name. What are you doing here? Do you know where Legault is? and finally, who is your companion.
