>A cyberdrill. This thing is a tool meant to warp the geometry of the surrounding environment. It digs through the wireframe until a hole is formed, allowing you to move through walls that might be too thick to noclip through using the limited runtime of each .app. This will render basic physical obstructions moot. Unfortunately, it can't be used as a weapon.
“I’ll take the drill, please.”
“Alright! Don’t use it on our walls, please! No testing unless you get a free moment to use the Holodeck again.”
“I doubt I will, Wind and Phascomon were going at it pretty hard…”
She allows you to stow the item away, then gets to explaining details of your mission.
“I’ve given you enough f1oat and f0rce to navigate the big void, but you’ll run out if you flounder midair or waste it. You’ll find it easier to land on a piece of terrain and drill into it using your tool. There should be internal hallways leading to your destination, and it’ll help you overcome blockades.”
She points to the bomb again.
“How are you planning to carry that? You’ve been briefed about the threat prioritization, right? All your actions inside the partition are going to be logged, and your inventory is being examined. You’ll be swarmed if you have that.”
“I’ve got my ways, don’t worry about it. Can I take it up to my room, or do I-“
“NO!”

“Sorry. I'll come pick it up in the morning then. Right before the mission.”
Squid walks you through some more details regarding the data center interior. Once you enter, you’ll be in a large empty space, with wave walkways that let you get closer to the sprawl of white cubes and prisms that make up the facility proper. Servitors are meant to be produced deeper in. They’re created on assembly lines within the major subunits, with thin layers of impure chrondigizoit making up their metal data. You don’t know where it’s mined from, but it’s being melted down and diluted in a foundry, before being used to make inactive robots. They’re then hung up for later, and get summoned whenever they’re needed in this district.
