Smile turning into a worried frown, Sora quickly looked over towards Chi leaning against the wall. Cautiously stepping over, he set his staff against the inside of the elevator box put his arms at his side in a friendly gesture.

"Hay, you got some nasty throbs in your head again? Anything we can do to help?" Sora felt a pang of guilt for some reason he couldn't exactly define, but tried to throw another confident smile on his face in reassurance.

Darn... I don't even know what's wrong here. Cmon... gotta think of something that will help...

Patience lost, Pascale slammed the first button she could on the elevator after she made sure everyone was in, regardless of whether or not they wanted too. Arms crossed she leaned against the back as the elevator sunk to the depths of the factory. There was no music, the only thing that could be heard where the metal clamour and whir of the working elevator.

For a moment, Pascale wondered if the elevator even still worked properly and wouldn't just drop them all to their demise. But before she could dwell on that horrible question, the door opened to reveal a fantastic sight.

While everyone else was gaping at the sight, Chubs began to look around.
I know, I know, it's all exciting, let's just get to the point of this.
He was surprised, sure, but he wanted to shut off the Time reversion before he had to take the elevator again.

"Impatience isn't cute you know," Nil says as the elevator drops. When the door opens, he blinks in surprise. Then he blinks again, trying to get his mind to process exactly what he's seeing. "Well, I was kinda hoping I was wrong this whole time."

"Hm?" Chi slowly rose her head, following her habit, of "looking" people into their eyes. Her face looked tired, like she just woke up in the morning, after a very tough night. "...What? No, i don't think so...Lets just...go... and turn this damn thing off..."

She suddenly jumped, when a loud bang of elevator starting was heard.

"So...much...noise..."

After few seconds she heard the door opening again. Aiko, so far quiet and motionless, twitched, seeing what was revealed to them. He quietly "chirped"

"There's a giant machine in the center...Like in one of these science-fiction books..."

"Please, tell me this is the source of this mess..."

>Logout...Dammit...

Still a bit worried, Sora nodded slowly, at least up until the point the elevator slammed down on the floor below. Noticing Chi suddenly fall unconscious, he swiftly grabbed her shoulders and lightly laid her against the side of the elevator. Shaking his head in a growing amount of astonishment at the sudden burst of events, he turned to see the lower floor entrance open in front of them. Quickly prancing back and grabbing his staff from where he had set it down before, he began to look more closely at the room ahead. Eyes widening, he stared in mild disbelief at the sudden change in setting from the abandoned warehouse they had been in before.

"Guys... we should hurry... this is getting ridiculous."

Stepping out of the elevator slowly, Sora used the staff as a sort of walking stick, but it was obvious at this point he was gripping it much too tightly for just that. Almost blank face giving away the rest of his feelings, Sora felt a bit tense... maybe even a bit angry.

Carver had realized something was up. Everything repeated. He had no idea how, and was extremely confused at the situation. This confusion made him angry. However he did notice one thing in particular was off in his classroom, Vath Drakin. The other student was reacting differently than in the memory Carver had of this repeated day. Following the teenager carefully, Carver stalked him to the lunch room and found him conversing with the year two student Sora Serafin. Figuring the nerd probably had something to do with what was happening he began to follow Sora. After a awhile the student met up with quite a few others and they made their way to some factory. Following them inside Carver hid while they descended down an elevator.

Now here's where Carver had his dilemma. He could go press the button and stay on the group's heels, but then they would know for sure he was following them. Or he could explore the factory looking for answers and come back to the elevator after they had left it. Deciding to do the second option, Carver began about exploring his surroundings, hoping to find some kind of clue as to what was going on.

Pascale's slight embarassment at Nil's comment was immediately washed away by the futuristic tech before her. Without hesitation, she sat down in the yellow chair, and it immediately swiveled to a computer screen display.

The system seemed strange yet simple, at least to Pascale, with her computer skills, any system wasn't a match for her.
In a big window in the center of the screen it read:

Executing rttp.exe T-Minus 420
Operational Scanners: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Errored Scanners:


Displayed Underneath there was a map of the facility, showing Pascale, the Scanner room.

So...this computer system is doing something...but can it really reverse time?

There was also a text file on the screen, that simply read "Initialization Procedures"

Pascale clicked it and began to read it.


Upon a successful cold start-up, the Lyoko Quantum Computer System will execute the Temporal Reversion protocol in order to increase its processing power. Every temporal reversion sequence will double its processing power and recover the processing qubits lost when the machine was shutoff. However, if the machine auto boots, the system may not stop the power restore process. It can be shut off manually via entering the Lyoko system via Virtualization, but if this is not possible then it will stop after the nuclear reactor runs out of fuel.


"What the...guys, I think you should see this..."

Nathaniel bent down, placing his hand on Chi's forehead and placing another on her wrist to look for a pulse. He was used to dealing with such problems as he had to take care of younger siblings, however she wasn't sick. The sound was putting an unbearable amount of stress on her mind. "Whatever it is Pascale, do something to shut the machine off. Chi will only get worse and worse every moment she's exposed to this noise."

Chubs walked over and read the notice.

Interesting. So this was a special computer system. Oh what he could make with this...

He snapped back to reality and a part of it catched his eye.

He grabbed a card and quickly wrote on it. He then abruptly gave it to Pascale.
Card:
"I'm guessing we don't have enough time to wait for the nuclear reactor. We will have to do the other way."

The previous hours had mattered little...except that things had gotten worse.

Remembering the hole he had found the other day, he felt himself drawn to it again. He quickly made his way into the sewer, working his way towards the light at the other end. When he popped out of the other side, he noticed another student there...one that had been in class with him.

He jumped down and extended a hand. "Carver, right? I guess I don't have to ask you why you're here, do I?"

Startled by appearance of Vath, Carver had to come up with an excuse quick.

"Uh.. yeah. I mean no. I mean, why are YOU here?" he asked, eyes accusing. He ignored the extended hand.

Vath dropped his hand slowly when the other fellow didn't take it, and then reversed his question on him. He raised an eyebrow, but did not express the slight feelings of disdain he was forming.

"I'm here because I think the source of the time-looping is in here...somewhere. Is anyone else in here?"

Virtualization...Quantum Computer system? How is any of this possible...
Taking a glance at Chi, Pascale decided it would be best to just take a chance.

"I think I understand how this works...and if that's the case, you all need to hurry. Nathan can take care of Chi while uh...the rest of you head to the scanners...If I can activate this Viirtualization thing, then you guys can enter the system and turn it off or something," suggested Pascale, "Just my thoughts.."

Nil stretches, and nods. "Virtualization or continual time reversal? Lets give this virtual thing a shot. Who all is coming with?"
