"..." Ilias was silent again, before looking at Robyn.

"...well, I think we know we can come back in." he said.

He then approached the door and paused for a moment, before gripping the handle and opening it slowly.

He peered inside and noticed that... aside from many things being slightly askew, nothing seemed different.

"...what was that?" he asked Chloe.

"That was unbelievably potent." he told her, stepping further inside.

Chloe doesn't turn to look back at them as Ilias asked his question. She just answered while continuing to o whatever it was that she was doing.

"Alchemical reaction." She answered simply.

"what you had needed a catalyst, but it had to be of a dangerous variety. The venom I extracted had just the right properties to act as both a catalyst, and an emulsifier, in essence." She continued.

"How do you know what it was taht we needed?" Robyn asked.

"Ah, your notes. All that you have on the boards around. It was easy to guess what it was that you were having a hard time with." was Chloe's answer.

Ilias raised an eyebrow when he heard this.

"I see." he said.

"And HOW do you know that?" he asked.

"WHO are you? WHAT are you?" he asked further.

"Seriously. All you've told us is that your name is Chloe. But can we have more information?" he asked her.

"Because, right now, we don't know what to think of you."

Chloe paused a moment.

"How I know it is because I have had all the alchemical informaiton that my creators could install." She answered as she finished with whatever se was doing.

"And I am Chloe. Or, if you would prefer the full version - Calibrated Hotspot 1.0 Eternal." She continued as she turned to face them.

"What the hell does THAT mean?" Robyn asked. Chloe just looked puzzled for a moment.

"What do you mean by that?" She asked.

"I ... mean what I said?" Chloe responded. "Calibrated Hotspot 1.0 Eternal is my full name. It just easily shortens down to Chloe."

Ilias was silent for another moment, but Robyn could see the gears were turning, the pieces were being put together.

"...wait." he said.

"Wait, hold on." he muttered.

"I... I'm starting to have serious suspicions here... but I want to ask something to confirm this." he told her.

"You got in here without needing us to let you in." he commented.

"I'm guessing you don't have a keycard, do you?" he asked. "Or, rather, if you had one, you still wouldn't need it, would you?"

Chloe looked to Ilias.

"Not at all." She answered.

"I have been coded with all the necessary access protocols to be able to get into any location within this building I may need." She continued.

"However, I cannot access admin level, yet. "

Ilias let out a heavy sigh.

"Right." he said.

"That explains it." he said further, looking to Robyn.

"This isn't a person." he told her.

"This isn't a living being." he commented further.

"This is a... well... a robot." he concluded.

"I think, anyway."

"Android, if you wish to be specific." Chloe answered honestly.

"Tha'ts.... that's possible!?" Robyn exclaimed, seeming to be more than a little surprised. Chloe just nodded.

"Of course. All it takes is the right mindset, and having passive mana helps." The android responded honestly.

"... You're a techretti production, arent' you?" Robyn asked.

"My hardware is, yes." Chloe answered with a nod.

"My software is not."

Ilias was silent again, before pondering it.

"The hardware makes sense for it to be TechRetti, but... yes, they don't do software. At least not software that is surely as intricate as yours is." he commented.

"But WHO would have done this...?" he wondered.

"Hmmmm." he mumbled.

"I... hmph." he muttered further, before shaking his head.

"Regardless, you have a solution for our soul separation issue?" he asked.

"Is that was that massive expulsion of mana was about?"

Chloe just nodded.

"That is exactly what that was." She answered.

"What's the solution?" Robyn asked after a second or two.

"Oh, this mix just needs to be injected into the victims." Chloe answered.

[b]"Give it a couple of hours to properly circulate their blood system, and it will restitch where the soul is loose.

"...huh." Ilias muttered.

"That's... remarkable." he said.

"Guess we'll need to test it first." he went on, thinking about it.

"But who?" he asked.

"Who should the first test subject be?" he asked further.

"Any ideas?" he asked Robyn.

"I know Alicja can give us actual consent, should it be her?"

Robyn thought for a moment before answering.

"She'd also be able to give proper answers, or concerns, if any come up." She commented.

"Yeah, I think Alicja would be the best tester for this, assume she consents."

"Got it." Ilias said, before looking at Chloe.

"Ah, yes." he said.

"How much have you made?" he asked her.

"As in, how much do you have, in terms of treating individuals?" he clarified.

"Are you going to require more venom from Helena?" he asked further.

"...because if you do, might as well get it NOW." he sighed.

Chloe paused as she looked to the mix. It wasn't hard to tell that she was processing the numbers and such.

"Ah, a little bit more would be nice so as to ensure that there is plenty." She said after another couple of seconds.

"Would you prefer to do it yourself, or have me do it?" She then asked Ilias.

"and it would be best if after more of the venom is collected, while I make more, you two head off to give some to Alicja." She added.

"... Get us out of the risk zone." Robyn commented, to which Chloe nodded.

"Precisely."

Ilias just sighed.

"Right." he said.

"One moment." he told her.

He then grabbed a petri dish and, with some coaxing and reassuring, got some more venom from Helena, before returning it to Chloe.

"Here." he said.

"Robyn, let's get out of here." he told Gem.

"Fine Alicja, or someone else, to administer the test dosage to." he said further, after confirming the optimal dose parameters from Chloe.

As Ilias was acquiring the venom, Chloe had transferred it to a vial with a rubber cap so that it would be easy enough to stab a needle in for some.

When they left, Robyn just sighed.

"... do you think this will work?" she asked.

"I think it adds up, myself."

"...yeah. I think it will." Ilias replied as they walked.

"I mean... Chloe seems to know what she's... it's... ugh, whatever, Chloe seems capable." he said.

"Programmed to be, anyway, it seems." he clarified.

"And... it made sense what she said." he shrugged.

"That's an amazing piece of tech, though." he then admitted.

"Wonder who the programmer is..."

"That... is a very good question." Robyn commented.

"I do wonder that too. I have no idea who the hell it was, but... I guess there's no need to worry about it for the moment." She added after a moment or two.

"Wonder if Alicja's awake at the moment, for that matter."

"...another good question." Ilias muttered, as they reached the medical wing, where they saw an exasperated Nate at the reception.

He looked over towards them, and his eyes opened a little.

"...PLEASE tell me you have good news." he said.

"Please?" he asked.

"We need it at this point." he told them, desperation in his tone.

Robyn paused a moment.

"Eh?" She asked.

"What's going on? You look frazzled." She added after a second or two.

"And where's Alicja?"
