Afton huffs after having destroyed most of the Robo-Scorpions stationed here. He was still slightly injured from the wounds his [Miracle Maker] had failed to heal, but Nyx was more than willing to pump Stimpacks and Med X into him to help.

There should still be many Robo-Scorpions inside the X-13 facility, b ut Afton thought destroying the army was enough for now. This would put a dent in Mobius' forces numbers, hopefully the mad scientist would think twice before sending more after Afton in the next facility he has to enter. ​​

"User! Life signs ceased for 2.7 seconds! Wounds too extensive to tend to... My processors are overheating in an attempt to understand what had just occurred." Nyx says, clearly baffled by his rapid recovery to what was most certainly his death.

"Ah-er... You sure your sensors aren't on the blink Nyx? Maybe you should check them out before you start frying yourself in an attempt to understand something that is clearly impossible."

"Understood, I shall begin a hardware overview. Be careful, my sensors will be unavailable until I am finished." Nyx says.

Ah, Afton hadn't thought about that... Hopefully, it wouldn't take too long, her sensors were incredibly useful thus far, and it'd be unfortunate to lose them. For now, he should probably get back to the Think Tank and report on his success, he hadn't heard a broadcast from Klein this time, so perhaps Mobius had found a way to block the schematic transfer.

That, and Afton wanted to see if any other personality chip had been fixed yet... Though, the repair process will probably take a little longer due to the damage done to the stealth suit earlier. He shakes his head, regardless, he'll be able to gather some information about the next facility while he's there.

With that, Afton turns and starts heading back to the Think Tank, avoiding an occasional group of Lobotomites before finally getting back.

Afton heads straight up to the Sink after he reaches the dome, deciding to speak to the scientists afterward.

As he enters he's immediately greeted by his dutiful servant, Alfred. "Salutations, sir. I trust your recent venture has been rewarding?"

Afton nods, "It has. Ah, by the way, Alfred, meet Nyx." he says, tapping on the stealth suit to coax the AI out.

"I am the Stealth suit Mk2, otherwise designated as, Nyx."

"I am the Sink central intelligence unit, also designated Alfred. It's a pleasure to meet one of sir's companions." he says politely.

"Hello, table person Alfred."

...

Alfred seems to release a sigh, "Indeed."

Afton smirks and shakes his head, walking into the next room and sitting on the coach while looking over the various personality chips... It seems he had slightly misjudged his [Mechanicus] Perk, as one chip seemed to be completely repaired.

[Light Switch 01 Personality Module]

...

Now he just needed to find out which light switch this one belonged to... He glances up at the wall and looks at the closest one, "Might as well start here." he mutters, shrugging to himself.

He slides the chip into it and immediately a feminine voice begins talking, "Mhmm, Hmm? Full functionality restored? H-how long have I been inactive?" she mutters.

"No idea, all I know is that Dr. Klein apparently tossed you out of the balcony... I've been doing my best to repair you guys." he says, not bothering to tell the light switch that he'd just been letting their chips automatically repair in his pocket...

"Hey, hey, hey! Is that you over there Light switch?" Jefferson's voice asks from behind him.

"Oh. It's you. What do you want?" the Light switch retorts angrily.

"Oh, nothin'. Just wanted to hear the sound of your sweet, sweet voice."

"Yeah? Well, I bet you'd know about 'sweet voices' when you were flirting with the other Light switch! We are literally in the same room, did you think I wouldn't hear you!" she shouts, aggrieved... Apparently, Jefferson had been switching from, eh, Light switches...

"Come on baby! I swear it won't happen again!"

"Only because she's not online right now... But I know you'll do the same when she is. Hmph!"

While this peculiar couple fight is interesting to observe, Afton still needed to figure out what functions the Light switch actually served. "Ahem!" He coughs into his fist, "We weren't done talking yet, once I'm gone you guys can argue all you want... For now, what functions do you serve, Light switch?" he asks.

"Now that we aren't being interrupted by that Cheater!... I'll explain. Dr. Mobius and I were deeply involved in research on the ability of light levels to enhance human cognition."

"Oh? Find anything substantial?" he asks, intrigued on where such research could go.

"We observed a fascination phenomenon. Certain spectra of visible light actually increased cognitive function and reasoning ability." the Light switch explains before continuing with a giggle, "Of course, Dr. Mobius' brain is so big already, we had a hard time measuring it."

"That sounds... Remarkable. Could you show me?" he asks.

"I can. Activating Smart lights." she states, as all the lights in the sink turn a peculiar yellow colour. At first he didn't notice anything, until a notification came up in his peripheral.

[Smart Light Activated, +2 Intelligence, +5 Science, +5 Repair, for 12 hours.]

After reading this, Afton raises a brow. This was incredible, all of those bonuses for just adjusting the colour of lights? It sounds almost preposterous, and he wouldn't believe it if the notification hadn't just told him so.

This boosted his Intelligence to 8, and would allow any research done in here to gain significantly more results as opposed to what he'd manage outside. "This is incredible..." he mutters.

"I know. Dr. Mobius intrusted this research to me, we had such a good relationship before he left... A shame... Perhaps we could pick up where he left off?" she asks sweetly, "Would you be interested in talking about theorems?"
