>>6322740Anon is right, Object 4 is a separate place in the City, you're gonna travel there. Nerd already spilled all the directions to you. Your teammates aren't gonna get the succ instantly upon arrival, the glue factory is quite overwhelmed with the amount of monsters they're getting right now.

The box and box 2 have done very well as your SHELLS, but now you want something with a greater range of tactical options. After two days of tanking blows, the stealth suit will serve as a nice change of pace. At least you hope so. You briefly wonder where the hell sleeves went, but there's no time to look for them. Abandoning the wrecked safe on the floor, you squeeze your full body into the rather narrow volume of the suit and start settling in.
It's an odd feeling to be so tightly packed, to have "legs" again. You stand up unsteadily and take stock of the situation. Despite your shell transfer taking some time, the nerd hasn't escaped. She's squatting by your discarded safe, drinking coffee from a mug and writing something down in the large notebook. The stealth suit does actually get powered by monster essence (good job hardware guys), but turning it on noticeably saps your strength. Not critically though, now that you don't have the mass of an entire giant safe to lug around, you're feeling much more sprightly even with the stealth mode on. You have to remind yourself that in exchange you are no longer bulletproof. The Stick is with you, as is the MORE GACHA poster that you carefully roll and store inside of the SHELL(stealth suit doesn't come with pockets).
The nerd turns her head preemptively in fear, hearing the steps behind her. Your walking looks all sorts of weird since you don't actually have joints.
– "S-so now that you have a new suit, you don't n-need me anymore, right?" Look at that, an hour without bullying or threats, and she's getting hopeful already.
– "Haven't decided yet. You're coming with me for now. Back to the surface." She sighs but doesn't seem opposed to the direction.
As you climb up through more floors(elevators are still on lockdown), you can hear the stomping of boots, squads of soldiers led by g-men making a sweep of the building. You stick to the elevator shaft ladder. Carrying the nerd up is a bit more awkward now, but you manage.
Finally, after entirely too much ladder climbing, you make your way to floor 1. The indoor parking lot has plenty of very busy soldiers and feds, but their attention is focused on going into the center by staircases, so you make your way outdoors, through the fire exit, unnoticed.
