‘alright. thats enough’
‘get him in.’
Sparks are generated.
A faint crackling noise can be heard.
Dust is kicked up in the air as the deities sprint towards the prisoner.
Amidst the darkness and dust, several flashes and bangs go out all around the re-education center.
Clausewitz is snatched up by Cephei, being carried on his shoulder. The speed of their movements have brought a storm of dust into the re-education center, obscuring their actions but made the center’s staff members close the main doors down.
They could probably run outside of it again, but they’ll be hunted down by those exoskeletons once they realize their prisoner is gone — its probably better to go through this building rather than escaping a manhunt without any cover.
The center is structured similarly to an panopticon — possessing a large central tower inside the building which can observe all sides without the prisoners able to tell how many security guards are inside it.
Seeing the main door is about to close, Jeremiah also sprints and slides into the re-education center while the dust is still in the air.

Once the dust has settled, the three deities found themselves a few floors above ground, hiding in an empty classroom. The oils from the nearly used up lamps inside the classroom allowed Clausewitz to escape his bindings.
They learned that he was a MAGIC WIELDER, a minor deity that was placed in the armory to fix a malfunctioning constructor — a machine that uses prayer energy to create objects. He managed to get a hold of a slug launcher, an experimental firearm that uses thermal stones to heat up steel slugs capable of perforating exoskeletons and vehicles, and broke out of the Magic Wielder Labs, but got caught on his way to the facility HQ. The slug launcher schematics is still inside the armory.
The re-education center is currently undergoing a lockdown. Automatons make up the bulk of the patrol, with a few reptilian officers leading them. Most of the security personnel seem to be wearing some kind of dark skintight clothing that could regulate temperature.
