One POV:

The loop reset and I found myself in my room. I look around and I still admire how it was decorated to be a luxury hotel room.

One: Can't think of a better place to wake up.

I stand up and go to the bathroom to brush my teeth and straighten my hair. Don't want to look messy from getting out of bed. I go to the bookshelf and pull out a book titled "The Sword Princess". The shelf opens and reveals a hidden room. I sit on a luxury chair and wonder about the parts of my past I still can't remember.

One: Sword Princess. Why does that sound so familiar? Same for Rabbit Foot. But I feel like Zero is more of that Argonaut he told me about. I guess I have to break the loop to find out.

I get in the teleporter and set it for the Complex. Can't leave Zero waiting.

Zero POV:

I go to the Complex and look at begin looking for any clues leading to Julianna. Wenjie and Egor will go to Alexis' party at night, Charlie and Fia will be in that facility on Fristad Rock in the afternoon, Harriet will be taken care of during her sermon in the morning, and Frank will be blown to pieces by his fireworks once we sabotage them. All that's left is finding Julianna, although I have a feeling where she might me.

I soon get a call from her on my helmet. Speak of the Devil.

Zero: You got Zero.

Julianna: What is with you and One joining Colt in this? This whole place is so much fun. We are free to do whatever we want without consquences. Any problems you made will be undone by the next day.

Zero: This place is a cage, Julianna. It's doing no one favors. Not even you.

Julianna: Don't act like you know me. Then again, I guess you despise any cage after what you've been through.

Zero: What do you know about my past?

Julianna: Yeah, I prefer not to say that filth with my own mouth. You'll find out on your own.

Julianna cuts off and I go to where we started looking for the LPP. I see the doors on the side of the control room are not sealed off and enter them. Inside are Eteranlists trying to figure out a power generator on Wenjie's orders. I kill them all using the Factured Destiny blades and clean the room.

I hear footsteps and turn aim my sword at them and found out it's just One.

Zero: Oh, sorry One.

One: No worries dear. I'd be dissapointed if you didn't assume the worst. So what is this place.

Zero: Some kind of Power Plant. Although judging by the ports in these Generators, they beed batteries to activiate.

One: A power generator that needs power to generate? That's just stupid.

Zero: I think they just use the energy in the battery as a kickstarter and enhance it by a larger amount.

One: It's still stupid.

I find a battery and put it into the charger in the other room and use it to activate the generators. We go to the control room above us and press the button labeled "Complex". I have a feeling I know what it powered up.

Zero: Let's check out the sealed room upstairs.

We leave the room and see the sealed doors now have power. We enter it and several words appear floating in front of us.

"We were wronged". "This world messed us up". "Broken beyond repair". "But do we want to go back?". 

Zero: So us and Colt are the only ones who can see these things. But why is that so?

One: It just means we're that special.

Zero: Or we ended up in something similar to him.

We go down the stairs and through a passage to see a room filled with military equipment. I see a recorder on a console and play it. The voices talk about a "Rakyetoplan" and Colt is the pilot. There was a brief glitch until Colt took off.

Zero: Colt flew that rocket?

One: That explains so much.

I see a note next to the recorder and it talks about passkeys and the code for a primary power governer and about a required documentation in something called the "Horizon Archival Office" in updaam. I put my helmet on and contact Colt.

Zero: Colt?

Colt: Zero. My man! What's up?

Zero: Colt, we're in an Operation Horzion Bunker in the Complex. We found something called the Archival Office that's in Updaam. Can you check it out when you have time?

Colt: How about now? I'm already in Updaam.

Zero: Okay. The office should be near the gate we usually use to sneak across during our trips there.

Colt: I know what you're talking about. I'll check it out. Did you find anything else?

Zero: Yeah, there's a room that Julianna order shut despite Wenjie's demand. It's a generator room linked to bunkers around the island. We have the code for it.

Colt: So we now control the power to those bunkers. Let's do this.

Colt cuts out.

One: Never thought he'd be excited at being up to turn on the lights.

Zero: Well, those doors aren't going to be easy to open. Let's just leave this place. We'll come back tomorrow.

I see a MG-1 "Peppermill" on the chair next to the console and I take it.

My helmet starts ringing and I get a call from Blackburn and Julianna.

Zero: What is it this time, Julianna?

Julianna: I see you got into the generator room. Good luck finding the rest of whatever the hell was in there.

Julianna guts out.

Zero: Shortest Julianna convo to date.

One and I leave the room and go through tunnels. Half-way, we see two wrist devices with a note that says "For Logan and Carmilla". It has to be Blackburn. We grab the devices and put them on to see them boot up. They display a map and instructions that explains that we can use them to teleport to anywhere in Orario or Blackreef. However, it's a one use thing each loop.

One: Still better than waiting an entire day to use the teleporter.

Zero: You literally took the words right out of my mouth.

Colt the contacts us.

Zero: Colt?

Colt: Guys, I'm at the office, but it's locked. There's a note that says it might be open during the afternoon.

One: More waiting it is. Should we meet at your place? No reason in you staying there like us.

Colt: Sure. I could use some safety. See ya both there. 

Colt cuts out and we leave the bunker tunnels. We sabotage Egor's experiment before entering the island tunnels and head to Colt's hideout. One and I grab soda and drink it while we wait for Colt.

Zero: Those messages, I feel like there are much more to our past than being trained under Blackburn.

One: You were trained under Blackburn, I was self-taught before joining him.

Zero: Well those messages were strange. They said we were broken and this world was messed up. But do we want to go back. What was with that?

One: Like you said, only way to find out is to keep trying to break the loop. It was fun for like the first 50 days or so, but the same thing gets really, really, old.

Zero: Which is why the three of us and Akira want to break it.

Colt arrives and sits down.

Colt: Harriet, Wenjie, Egor, Frank, Charlie, Fia, and Alexis. We have a way to take them down in the same loop. Now we just have to find Julianna, and take care of Blackburn and Akira.

My helmet starts ringing and I see a message from Akira that reads "You're almost there. I talk to Julianna once you find a way to reach her. But come talk to me first thing next loop. Bring One with you".

One: Zero?

Zero: It's Akira.

Colt: What'd she say?

Zero: She'll make sure she's with Julianna once we find out where she is.

Colt: So, just figuring out how to get to Julianna and deal with Blackburn.

One: Can't we just kill her once she tries to hunt us.

Colt: Turns out those weren't "Her, Her".

Zero: They were variations of her.

Colt: Yep. And we need to kill the one that belongs in this loop.

One: Then let's go to the office.

The three of us decide to hang out until afternoon since it'd be nice to have a break.

Colt: So... you guys have any ideas where Julianna might actually be? 

Zero: If I had to bet money on it, I'd say she's hiding in the massive device that controls the loop.

One: I was thinking the same thing.

Colt: Let's hope whatever's in that office will help us get there.

Afternoon arrives and we head to Updaam. We go to the office and like Colt said, it was open. We go to the second floor and look around for the paper mentioning the passkey. We find one a bookshelf and see that it has a password for something called the RAK. And guessing from Wenjie's notes from her room, it should be beneath us.

Julianna and Blackburn call us on our devices.

Julianna: Did you all think it was going to be easy?

Blackburn: Zero and One didn't, but they love a challenge.

Julianna: I was talking to Colt.

Colt: I already know it where you're hiding.

Julianna: Yes? And? What do you want? A medal? A fucking ribbon of achievement?

Blackburn: You could do without the sass, little girl.

Julianna: Get off the frequency, BlackAss!

Colt: You're... in that massive device that controls the Loop.

Julianna: The Stabilizer Core. Did Zero and One tell you that already?

Colt: You're hiding in... plain sight.

Blackburn: No kidding, Sherlock.

Julianna: The problem, Captain Vahn, is that I see everything. I see moves that you haven't even thought of yet. Better start looking for ladders.

Colt: Hmm. There's no ladder, is there?

Julianna: Right again!

Blackburn: Zero, I have something for you and one at my estate. They should be in your rooms.

They cut out and I am left wondering what he left for us. We leave the office and go down the staircase outside that leads to a door. Colt says a passkey and it opens. We go inside and see a control room with a rocket in a launch bay.

One: What is that thing?

Zero: I think that's the Rakytoplan.

Colt: Rekytoplan?

Zero: A rocket that you apparently flew when you worked for Operation Horzion.

Colt: I flew that rocket? That explains sooooo much.

One: That's literally what I said.

I see a recorder and play it. It reveals that Colt was promoted to test the RAK and on board with it, despite all safety gear being forgone to make a deadline that was pushed ahead.

One: Wow, one can be desperate for science.

I got to the door leading to the RAK and find a note that confirms the the power station is connected to the other bunkers. It lists the name of the stations that the power station control room had labeled under the buttons. It also says the code for the power governer.

Colt: What's it say?

Zero: The code we need to power up the other bunkers. And this door needs passwords as well.

One: Let's hope those other bunkers have them.

Colt: Why don't I deal with the generators and the first bunker tomorrow. I have a feeling this is something I need to do myself.

Zero: Okay.

One: Then we'll just head to Blackburns estate.

Colt: You guys want help?

Zero: Blackburn is our problem. And no offense, but from what we've seen, you wouldn't last three seconds against him.

Colt: Okay. Be safe you two.

One and I activate our teleportation devices and appear on the roof of the building in front of Blackburn's estate. We sneak into the place and and look for our rooms.

No POV:

One and Zero find rooms with their previous names and enter them. The look around and see a black knife and a sword on their beds. Zero picks up the knife and One grabs the sword and observe them. Zero sees some form of writing on the scabbard. It is in an unkown language, but a word comes to his mind.

Zero: Hephaestus? Wait... How do I know what this says?

Zero and One unsheath the weapons and look at the blades. They see brief relfections of them with different appearance before they are taken over by a white light.

??? POV:

I was looking in the mirror and saw someone with white hair and red eyes.

Zero: Who is this guy?

???: Yo, Bell. You coming?

I turn around and see several men and women waiting for me. They called me Bell. Was that my original name? It this a memory? Everything looks so different. I feel like this isn't just my past. It's like previous life.
