(#3956 was in the front yard, not the backyard. Based on my description of the MGE world's geography I made in part two, - which I go by since no one has opposed it so far - Fort Ironwall would be on the eastern coast of the MGE analogue of Russia, facing west while the Iron Wings came from Lescatie, which I assume to be analogous to France (names like Lescatie, Castor and Francisca give it away). Besides, it would make more sense for the laundry rooms to be towards the front of the prison since I assume it's a personnel-restricted area rather than at the back which is mostly occupied by the cell blocks.

Alpha: I just remembered, what's up with the voice I heard and the mysterious shadowy figure that unlocked the cells?)

Startled by the voice behind us, we whip around, Matt pulling his blade out in the process, only to see three rose chitin shields. The smallest of the three is armed with a spear, the biggest figure on the left seems to have a shield matching her size, and the one standing between the two has a pincer-like weapon.

Scissor Beetle: "Throw away your weapon at once." She orders the swordsman in a monotone voice, "We were authorized to use force should you refuse to comply."

Matt: "Good grief, how did you expect us to react when you sneak up on us in the dark, hm?" He answers, putting his weapon back in its scabbard. "I'm sorry, but I'll be forced to disobey and put Ivoire away instead of throwing it away. Such a unique item is not to be handled by other than I."

Alpha: "Daw, it's three of those cute little Soldier Beetles!"

The lancer blushes at my remark on their physique, betraying her expressionless face. "Flattery is futile. You were marked as threats and it is our duty to escort you to the exit."

Alpha: "Is she embarrassed? Dammit, I can't even tell with those two big, beautiful eyes of hers."

Lancer Beetle: "I will ask you to cease all attempts at seduction at once." She reinforces coldly, yet her cheeks getting redder.

Gwen: "What are you playing at? Can't you see it's not working?"

Alpha: "Okay, I'll stop now. It was working, but her reaction, or rather her lack thereof is no fun. Teasing more expressive mamonoes is more entertaining."

Before our clear lack of hostility, the small squad lowers their weapons and shields, thought they remain on their guard. The scissor beetle walks past us, opening the march as she invites us with a blank "This way." Before proceeding forward.

Alpha: "What?"

"Follow." Second the two others, hurrying us to follow with pokes in the back.

Gwen: "Hey!"

Matt: "Okay, okay, we get it!"

Alpha: "Maybe putting it in a sentence would have helped us understand the first time."

With that, we catch up to the guard leading the way as the lancer and the shield close the march.

. ..

Alpha: "So um... Does any of you have a name? Mine is Alpha."

Soldier Beetles: "....."

Alpha: "I see... Women of little words, aren't you?"

Matt: "No shit, Sherlock..."

Alpha: "Ugh, this silence is killing me!"

"Lana." Says a petite voice behind.

Alpha: "Ah! Nice to meet you, Lana."

Scissor Beetle: "The prison staff is forbidden to engage in conversation with inmates or guests."

Lana: "Apologies."

[Done]

Alpha-2947: "Alright, I'm in. Still hanging in there?"

Alpha-3956: "Incoming guards aside, I'm doing great. Fight or fly?"

Alpha-2947: "Whichever you like. As long as you don't attract too much attention."'''

I inch my way to the door, listening closely to the approaching footsteps. "They're about five men. Shouldn't be hard to deal with. Once they get close enough, I'll blind them with a stroboscopic flash and take them out swiftly."

Alpha-2947: "BWAHAHAHAHA!!"

Alpha-3956: "What's so funny?"

Alpha-2947: "They protected their functions with nothing but ten-digits codes. You'd think an international prison would have better security than a Daniku's company. Maybe they'd have better security if they'd spend less money on paying those crazy wardens and hire decent informaticiens. A basic DES decryption algorithms will do. Now that the backdoor is open, the stage is set for the Frankenware to come in and begin its performance."

Alpha-3956: "That name sounds dangerous..."

Alpha-2947: "The rogue security will take care of their antivirus, the rookit will make use of the power shortage, they'll feed all of their informations to the keylogger, a dormant trojan to deny them the access and a dormant worm to wipe their hard drives just in case, all wrapped in a nice little virus package that will spread like the plague undetected."

Alpha-3965: "#2947, what have you done...? You created a MONSTER!"

Alpha-2947: "I didn't create it, I found it in #493's malware folder."

Alpha-3965: "I see. But are the trojan and the worm necessary? We're just trying to download plans, not shut down the entire thing, which would definitely put them on alert."

Alpha-2947: "That's why they're dormant and have to be activated manually."
