[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

The guards spread out around the perimeter of the lab complex, hemming you in with their promise not to interfere... and not to let anything dangerous get out.
The military has made it clear to Shiva that your party is on their own here.

Oh, Shiva's aware of that, and thanks the military for the reminder AND of course for letting them venture down these labs in the first place. She's lowkey confident that things will go well - having the ancient Shield with her helps easing her mind a lot.

Ventus, on the other hand.....remind me of what he's exactly been doing with Shiva, @Phantom? I'd imagine that whatever it was, he'd be right with her in the thick of things, all smiles and politeness, but about as on edge as Heart's Aegislash when its biting into an opponent. The laboratory is the natural environment of the researcher, but this place doesn't exactly set him at any sort of ease, after the rumors he's heard about it and all the armed military guards mucking about the place.

Being there and being an adorable and protective boyfriend for her
Ven being around has the potential to help a lot here due to his lab experience! Especially his involvement in Project Silverfish... "Alright, Ven..." Shiva gently asks him "If you were to hide something away from the League in a lab, where would you put it?"

One room has a greenish glow coming from underneath it. Guarding this door is a sort of transparent airlock, hung with hazmat suits.
Another possibility for a Nucleon room is an airtight door with a big wheel for a doorknob. Lots of warmth is emanating from this door.

These hazmat suits - how many are there exactly, and more importantly - do they look functional? Shiva checks for this carefully.

Furthermore, is there any way to enter a password at either door? Like, a hidden keyboard or such.

Let's listen/eavesdrop at BOTH doors for starters, just to see whether it triggers anything or whether unusual sounds are coming from the room behind the doors. Does Shiva's sixth sense, Primal Espeon's precognitive power, Calam's danger sense and/or Gallade's honed sense pick something up that is of interest?

There are about 30 suits, maybe half of which are functional. The rest look like they were hit with some shrapnel and are just piled in a heap.

No passwords on either of the two potential Nucleon doors, though the green glow door has a retinal scanner that looks like it caught on fire in the recent past.
There is one quadrant of the lab that's covered in a thick layer of dust, and it is protected by a keypad you could ask Dagny about. It's within the disaster area so you aren't likely to get much support or hindrance from the military there.

Calam's danger sense would be overwhelmed on this island. Shiva's sixth sense picks up lifeforms in almost all these rooms I've mentioned, and Gallade senses considerable distress from many of the elemental rooms. And a weirdly calm, lordly emotion from the glowing green room.
