(Thanks. And where are the cafeteria and courtyard in all this?)

Alph-3956: "Alright, alright. That won't be necessary. Geez, so impatient." I mumble audibly, "You might want to take a few days off before you have a burnout." I then proceed towards the open door, keeping a wary eye on the green haired mamono completing her reparation work without paying much mind to me. Once I took place in the middle of the room, I turn to the warden and add "Unless you're already so attached to me that you couldn't spend a single day away fr-" Suddenly, a chill runs down my spine shortly before everything turns black, leaving the crystal in my chest, the red lines on my clothes and my left iris as the only visible features of my being. Alpha-3956: "Hey! Who turned off the lights? I can barely see anything." My left eye lights up, shining a pale red beam in the Goblin's face. "So, who is it that forgot to pay the electricity bill?"

Meanwhile, the other me, standing in the middle of his cell, was playing chess against N.I.G.E.L. when their game is interrupted. The communication momentarily cuts to static and the holographic board flickers as I'm struck by the same sensation.

Alpha-2947: '''You felt that? Pawn in G5.'''

Alpha-3956: Yeah.

N.I.G.E.L.: "I detected a surge of electromagnetic energy coming from 7 o'clock, 46 m away. Rook in D4."

Alpha-2947: '''EM weaponry perhaps? Queen in A4.'''

N.I.G.E.L.: "I couldn't tell. I have no information regarding the source other than an estimate of it's location. Knight in H7." Riding his black and grey hoverbike, the knight moves a case forward through the battlefield before executing a sharp turn around my rook. He then continues for two cases, jumps over a pawn and thrusts his red plasma blade straight through my king's stomach, finishing with an upward swing that splits his upper body in half. My king stands there for a moment before he falls to his knees, then on his front and lays there, inert. "Checkmate. Your loss." The knight strikes a victorious pose, entraining the rest N.I.G.E.L.'s troops in his celebration as the defeated leader's body begins disintegrating, soon followed by his army.

Alpha-3956: Whatever that is, let's just hope it doesn't come our way...

Alpha-2947: #3956 distracted me.

N.I.G.E.L.: "Would you like to play again?"

Alpha-2947: '''Nah, I'm done for now. That EMP is much more concerning at the moment.'''

(Just a quick reminder that I use bold for thoughts, which includes N.I.G.E.L. whenever his speech isn't on the speaker.)

[Done]
