You give consideration to more Rest, it'd be a bit safer with JJ keeping watch but...
This is a rare chance to navigate the Pizzeria freely. At least for now. Provided you keep close enough to deal with the Shadow when it decides to show up, this could be a great chance to get a feel for what's around you.
You hurt a kid a bit today by intent. Not by a lot, but... it was something right?
<statement>We should take a look at the Remnant Machine outside, and see if it's filled at all from the injured child.
JJ's head tilts slightly.
>"I don't think that really counts for much, but it's not impossible..."
<statement>This Unit would benefit from the exercise all the same.
>"You um... do realize robots don't have muscles, right?
...
>"That was a joke, right?"
<statement>Absolutely.
-The Unit lies.
Corporate said to visit the Remnant Machine, the Hive merely had to think about it, and the mini-cavern to it would just 'appear'.
You walk to the Play Area outside, and attempt just that.
<statement>... Remnant hole...?
!!!
Almost instantly, the ground rattles with enough force you nearly fall and JJ gives a tinny yelp. Some of the Hive does as well, as the grass and dirt caves into itself at a rapid pace, recreating the same hole in less than a minute. Even the unsettling glow has started to filter from the darkness.
JJ gives a weak laugh.
>"This doesn't seem like something your Animatronics should get directly involved in. Unless you need me, I'll keep watch up here..."
You don't intend to be down there long, so you give her a slow nod and make the short, short journey down yet again. The machine lies in wait, huffing slightly in the eerily lit ‘room’.
... It was about halfway between Zero and One the first time you saw it.
Now it’s roughly three-quarter to One?
Well, it’s something.
Oh, who is most of the Hive kidding.
The Wood attacked yesterday with extreme force, and the idea that more will start coming for your Pizzeria without Remnant to stop it, is one of the only truths you think Corporate has given you.
<profanity>Damn.
