No lights, No power, No Lyoko.... (Open)

[Miyako "Thunder" Sirren]

Midnight. The factory was silent, as a normal abandoned factory would be. Miyako looked down on the dark concrete floor of the factory from the first floor. With her sapphire eyes reflecting the moonlight, the full moon was the only thing dimly lighting the outline of the support beams and elevator below.

Taking a deep breath after checking she was not being tailed she jumped for one of the ropes and slid down, by now she had learnt to wear at least a glove as she did to stop the friction from sliding down an entire floor. Tonight she had done exactly that by wearing her black jacket with matching pair of well-fitting black gloves. Her feet echoed in the empty space of the factory as her deep grey trainers touched down.

Releasing the rope after giving her eyes a second to adjust she could see quite well in the darkness, after all, she was used to it. She slowly wondered to the elevator and called it up, it rattled and growled up the shaft as it approached. And as the doors opened she cast a glance behind her. Miyako was just being extra careful, almost enough for someone to think she was paranoid that someone was following her.

The doors opened once on the level with the main console part of the factory. The low underline humming as she glanced around the room, the lights were dim and the screen and holographic map showed nothing. She stayed in the elevator pushing the button to go down another level or two. If she did not need the interface. She defiantly wasn’t going on a solo mission again, then again she would not even think of it after the last time she did, running into the Scyphozoa assured that for the rest of her Lyoko life. Question was, what was she doing?

The doors opening onto the computer mainframe the room was fully lit, as it always was. Miyako stepped inside as the elevator doors started to close. Leaning against the wall just inside she watched the black and gold machine that withheld Lyoko, Xana and all its other secret content. She kept quiet for a moment thinking through what she was about to do... Before standing fully and walking over the main part of the computers heart- The power switch, turning on her side to the elevator and mainframe, running her hand gently over the leaver and gripping it quite tightly.

[The Dude]

Marty was asleep by the computer. His ear twitched and he scratched it. He heard the elevator and went back sleep. He curled up into a ball in the chair and held his legs close to him.

[Ciara]

Ciara had to be only too careful to follow the girl into the factory and not get noticed. She had to hold her breath as she'd looked around and directly at ciara, and actually thought she had been caught out. Luckily for her, she hadn't noticed and had gone up elevator.

Ciara had no idea why she had followed the girl. More curious about why she was going into a empty factory,she waited for the elevator to go quiet again. And then walked toward the doors. "Um.. why not..." She said to herself and pushed the button for it too come back down to her level. Either way she would know that ciara was coming up by the amount of noise it made. Once in and reaching the level, the doors opened and she gasped at the big computer. "Wow whats that for" She blurted out stepping into the room.

[Titan]

A dark shadow sits in the power room watching Miyako grab the switch. He sits in the right part of the room where his voice echos. "What are you doing?" The voice reveals the man to be Titarus. "I need lyoko to be on." The echo says over and over again, hiding Titarus' position.

[Xavier]

Xavier and James both entered the Factory, Xavier had woken because he wanted to run another program. James had woken because Xavier had knocked down something in the dark. They both set off to the factory just to look around, Xavier to work the program, James just in case XANA did something.

They both jumped down with the ropes, and noticed the elevator had just stopped moving. They decided to check the power room, because if it was XANA that's where he would most likely go if he was attacking. But when they got there they saw Thunder, Titarus, and Marty, "Guys....whats going on?" Xavier asked looking at all of them.

[Liam McAdam/ Katsumi Amaterasu]

It was a dark night, perfect for hiding from people. Liam walked silently in the factory, with hopes of him being the only one there. It wasn't that he didn't like being with others, it was just that he had been freaked out a little by Katsumi. Sure, she always acted wierd, but now it was getting a little out of hand.

Getting a firm grip on one of the ropes, he hesitated for a few moments before he went to swing down. Sure, he could have slid down, but he didn't want a rope burn. A snapping sound followed by a thud made one thing clear...The rope broke and Liam landed face first on the floor. "...owwww...." he said to himself and stood up, feeling a pair of arms wrap around him.

"Funny seeing you here." a female voice spoke softly. Katsumi had somehow known Liam was coming here. "So...whatcha doing here?" her first question came with a playful tone. Heart rate increasing, she figured tonight would be an easy chance. Miyako wasn't around to interrupt anything this time.

Sweating a little, Liam sighed before he replied to his partner. "I just...I just figured I'd be alone for a bit is all. Sighing again, he figured he had no choice but to let the girl tag along, and lead her to the elevator. This was a bit of a nuisance since she was clinging onto him like a fangirl. Once the two went down the elevator and went into the super computer room, they found Miyako and some other people. "Ermm....did we...did we miss something?" Liam asked somewhat stupidly.

[Miyako "Thunder" Sirren]

Freezing in place as she heard the echoing voice she glanced around into the shadows of the room. Sighing quietly as she looked at the ground she whispered a reply that had an echo follow soon after. ”From your voice, I know you’re new, you wouldn’t understand my reasons...” She confidently replied as the elevator opened for the first time and at the same time two more figures climbed the ladder, dropping in unannounced to the fiasco that was unfolding.

The situation was getting more mixed by the minute, the single thought that Thunder could conjure was all she mentioned “Five people up. Here. In the middle of the night...”[/i] Of course she was discounting Marty as she missed his presence upstairs as he was happily sleeping away. Yet just when she thought it could not get any worse than being caught out by four people, the elevator opened once again, interrupting her, adding two more to the debacle. Thunder sighed hearing all their questions echo in the slowly filling room. Honestly she did not have a good answer for them. She was unprepared to see one person here, let alone the six that filled the factory tonight. Miyako’s sapphire eyes went to Xavier and Liam in turn. Being the two that she trusted most, she hoped that they would listen and at least try to come to understand her reasoning.

[The Dude]

MArty dropped down and looked at them all. "Would someone mind explaining to me WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON DOWN HERE!"
