As soon as you enter, you're struck by the size and temperature of the Operating Theatre. It's a massive amphitheater, with the edges shrouded in darkness. It's cold enough that you could fit a huge amount of machinery in here without bricking the unit. Several beds have been set up in the middle, with a few of them occupied by struggling Digimon. You see several purple shapes milling about, checking on stolen screens and attaching wires and tubing to the beds.
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-r">"Backup is on the way! Let us go, and-"</span></span>
You watch as a kidnapped Commandramon tries to intimidate one of them. It responds by silently clasping one clawed hand over his snout, then it rips off a chunk of his face with the other limb. The Digimon's eyes bulge, but he manages to not scream in pain as static flows from the injury. Another one of them has a remote in hand, and is adjusting a strange diode-like device that's hanging from the ceiling. Once the calibrations are done, it pulls the lever and floods the object with power.
An electronic hum fills the room, and neon pink light coalesces at the tip of the machine. After charging up for several tense moments, it fires a beam of energy straight into Commandramon's face, breaking his brief silence.
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-r">"AAAAH!"</span></span>
You wince as it rips through his face and into the bench beneath, swiftly deleting the Digimon.
"What the hell are they doing?!" Ryan whispers.
"... I don't know. I've never seen anything like this. We gotta get them out- this is definitely the room. Right?"
<span class="mu-s">"His tracks led right in here."</span>
You try to zoom in on the far end of the room and perform a scan, but you find that static clings to the lenses of your goggles and blurs your vision when you attempt it. There's some kind of interference field affecting the operating theatre. You can't scan more than a few feet in front of you, and you don't have access to external comms.
"He should be with all the beds. But I can't make him out. Can't see Cutemon either."
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-b">"Those purple guys look like they're just Rookies. We can take them."</span></span> Gizamon snarls.
