Yay or Nay?","content":"\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;Cold and damp, that's how I feel.\u0026nbsp; I wake to the sound of soft whimpers.\u0026nbsp; Looking around, I can barely see for the lack of light, I make out the silhouette of someone else in this dark room.\u0026nbsp; I'm definitely not alone.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\"He-Hello?\" I whisper into the dark. I hear the scuffling as the other person must have been startled by the sudden sound.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\"Who's there?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\"My name is Blaze, Blaze Chroma.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\"Blaze?

Ah, there it is.\"\u0026nbsp; As Vio walks to retrieve the scabbard, I go and inspect the baskets that the robots dropped during our attack.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\"Hmm, not much in here, only a cellphone for each of us.\u0026nbsp; This one is red and the other is purple.\"\u0026nbsp; I flip the phones open with the thought 'Jeez these are outdated' and see that there's a message for each of us.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\"To: Blaze Chroma/Vio Night\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;From: 1.772453850905516...\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;Subject: W31c0m3\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;H3110 t0 0ur 35t33m3d gu35t5,\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;y35 th3r3 ar3 m0r3 than ju5t th3\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;tw0 0f y0u.\u0026nbsp; T0 th053 0f y0u wh0\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;t00k d0wn th3 r0b0t5, c0ngatu1ati-\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;0ns, y0ur pr0w355 wi11 53rv3 y0u\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;w311.\u0026nbsp; T0 th053 wh0 hid fr0m th3\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;r0b0t5, I c0mm3nd y0ur st3a1th, it\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;wi11 a1s0 b3n3fit y0u.\u0026nbsp; I wi5h a11\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;0f y0u th3 b35t in th3 tria15 t0 c0-\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;m3.\u0026nbsp; Pl3a53 try y0ur b35t 0r y0u\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;might n0t a11 13av3 a1iv3.\u0026nbsp; 3nj0y\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;y0ur stay, it may b3 p3rman3nt.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\"Well, if that isn't the most confusing text I've ever received.\u0026nbsp; Hey, Vio, catch!\" I toss him the red phone.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\"What's this?\"\u0026nbsp; He flips open the phone and reads the message.\u0026nbsp; \"Did you see who the message is from?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\"Yeah, it's a string of numbers, why?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\"It's the square root of pi.\u0026nbsp; You know, 3.14?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\"Glad to see your calculus course isn't going to waste.\u0026nbsp; That means nothing to me.\u0026nbsp; I know what it is, but what's the significance in regard to our situation?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\"There isn't anything really significant about it, but why not just use pi; it's more recognizable.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\"Hmm, you have a point...\"\u0026nbsp; I think on this for a few minutes while Vio gets a feel for the weight of the sword and tests it functionality for different styles.\u0026nbsp; \"Well, we wont figure anything out if we just hang out here.\u0026nbsp; Let's go check this place out.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
