That had gone far better than Terra could have expected it to admittedly. A bit in shock as they enter the locked room with their things.
She spent no time in finding her items, opening and taking an inventory to be sure that what was hers still were there. "Good. Good," she states more to herself. Especially as she goes over the pokeballs that she had brought in. The idea of any of her team being taken made her temper begin to bubble at just the thought.
After she got things sorted and pulled one of the rock candies she had taken from Chuck and Miranda's she popped it into her mouth and began to crunch on the sugar crystals to calm herself some. "Let's see what else we can get while we're here," she tells her new friends while giving a rummage through the different areas. Surely there was some useful things for the three of them.

Terra finds a small metal-and plastic box with hanging wires, several lenses and an antenna on it, sitting on top of a diagram of it attached to a Pokemon, including points of contact in the overlay. It is headered 'Observation Platform v 2.15' and looks to be built for some kind of small bug Pokemon.
A series of vials with some kind of needle gun line the back wall of the desk, labelled 'Performance Mix', with tiny scrawled shorthands on each. Ruin finds what must have been his original outfit, overlapping plates of stone that he wears like armor. Maven similarly slips into a dress, and adorns several pieces of jewelry featuring dark red stones.
A smattering of discarded clothes makes up the majority of the rest, but Terra does locate a large, heavy, and unwieldy looking hammer, which seems to be a metal bar jammed into a square shaped wedge of concrete.

Interesting. Terra seems pretty confused at all the technology, however the machine obviously had something to do with a pokemon in one way or another. So she couldn't leave it here, so that Magma could continue using it. She shifts some things in her bag to get the item to squeeze into it. Maybe one of the adults she knew could figure it out.
The same situation occurred with the vials. She gave them a once over in her hands before furrowing her brows and shoving them as well into the sack. She can find someone to figure out what exactly these did once they were out. The less left for these jerks the better.
That's when she took a moment to finally get into her own clothes. A sigh leaving her as the familiar fabric settled against her skin. Much better than what she had had on. Then picking up the makeshift hammer she experiments with how it's weight feels in her hands. It was interesting, maybe it would be handy. "Are you missing anything?" she asks the other two just to be sure. "They didn't take anything of mine," she adds.
Her stance shifts to one of being prepared for them to start the more dangerous part of their escape. Bag situated on her back, and new hammer hefted up against her shoulder.

"Just my makeup, but I never brought much with me anyway.". Maven answered and looked down the hallway. Ruin seemed very pleased with himself, eyes perpetually lit within the hollows of his helmet. "I have everything I wanted and will take so much more...". He chuckled darkly.
"We checking all the rooms? I couldn't tell you what's in which, not really, might be worth it."

There was a short time that Terra took to observe Ruin's complete look. It was a definite outstanding appearance especially with his own glowing eyes. Coupled with his statement of taking more, she would turn her attention to Maven.
"We can do that. Could find more stuff to take from them. The less we leave them with the better." She was willing to take that type of risk in exploring the base. They could either take or break anything that had value to Magma. Possibly even stuff that could help with the break out too.

Terra breaks into the second room on the right, finding a small but tidy office, books on topics ranging from geology and climatology, to titles the girl doesn't recognize or have any real appreciation for. A PC takes up most of the desk, and the space seems utilitarian. A series of drawers, both to one side, and in the desk itself are the only things of immediate note.

The sight of books, she decided were not useful. Terra passes over them without much thought. Instead now peering over the desk for anything that stood out. Notes or the things that you put in computers, drives? That was the word she was pretty sure at least.
The computer she didn't mess with at first, attention going to the drawers. A hand going to pull at the handles, testing if they were locked. If so, she'd use more force to attempt to overwhelm the locks. She'd check each one for anything worth snatching for herself or to give to Jeremiah as evidence after she got out of here.

Crunch went the hammer into steel doors, crunch, scrunch. After some severe battering, there was nothing other then the computer itself Terra couldn't access. Most of the drawers contained files on the 'Demi-Pokemon Operation'. Among these, Terra located vague information on Thel, Omega, Muku, Kursz, and Em. There was only slightly more on herself, some of it new by how the ink still shone.

The sight of files that held papers on not only herself but those that she had met so far on her adventure, she flips over the pages briefly, there'd be a better time later to look at these. For now however, into her pack they went. No way she was leaving them here.
After that, she looks at the last thing in the room remaining. The computer she couldn't get into. Hammer raised above her head to slam down with a satisfying mix of electic fizzling and plastics and metals cracking and crunching beneath the force of the concrete.
First room completed in her search she readies herself for another room.

As Terra moved out into the hallway, one of the other doors slid open. A burly girl that stood head and shoulders above most full sized humans, with silver hair done up in short horns, and a pair of spiky looking armlets wrapped around well muscled biceps. "Maxie, you okay over there? You seem more upset then u-...". Her eyes narrowed at Terra, before she visibly perked up. "Oh hey, newbies!"

The sound of doors opening had Terra almost jump out her skin. The fewer fights they would have to take on the better. The girl halted in midstep, hand tightening its hold on the hammer handle, before blinking at hearing the words. "N...newbies?" she repeated the word in confusion. Not fully sure on how to react to that, however she did relax a slight bit at not being attacked the instant they were spotted.

"Yeah, newly evolved right? Being human is so weird. Everything is so squishy and all your hard bits are on the inside. I miss my horns, but I can't argue with these prongs.". At that she struck a pose, biceps tightening up.
Maven and Ruin both disappeared around the corner, back towards the original containment lab and seem to have avoided notice.
"Who are you yammering to out there Stag? It's the middle of the day." Comes an irritable voice. "Wandering newbie." "Okay, is Maxie chill now?" "Probably, it got quiet again." "Bring it back to its holding area with the others."

With this, it still took a few moments before the escapee processed and realized what the muscled woman was talking about. "Oh. Uh, yeah," Terra replies in a slow manner while she continues to try and figure out what to do in this situation.
"Yeah, yeah it is pretty weird. And annoying to be so squishy now," she states in agreement with a nod. Deciding to go along with the other's choice of topic. The mention of holding area, Terra feels her skin prickle at the idea. The hold on her weapon tightening. That was somewhere she did not want to go.

Stag pulls the door to the room closed. Hesitates with a look that suggests she might be hunting for some thought or idea that was just out of reach, and then shrugs. "You hungry? The food here is actually really good."
It was then that she noticed the concrete maul, and the door to the armory ajar with its panel caved in. "Oh.". There was no raised alarm, no look of panic, just an expression of understanding and an underlying sadness.
A big hand clapped onto Terra's main arm to slow her raising her weapon. "Easy, just hand me the hammer and we can pretend none of this happened."

Terra stayed firmly planted in her spot, since it was just the two of them out in the hallway. A small perk up happening at the mention of food. Eyes watching the other with a calm attentiveness, though there was a small edge of anxiety from thinking about the holding area.
Slag's word had her waiting, due to the lack of alarm. Though she was still wary as she was approached. The clap made her twitch under the hand. However she didn't move to attack just yet. "You can't take me to that place," Terra replies in a quiet and warning tone. "I don't want to fight you if I don't have to," she adds knowing now that they were both once pokemon.

"Look, that's not why I am here either.". Stag answered in a relaxed tone, but didn't remove the hand. "Maxie's been good to us. Helps us feel as normal as we can like this.". She shows off one of the bracers she wears with its short but hard spikes again.
"If Cutter catches wind you're staging a breakout, she'll stab you. Probably a few times. That's just who she is. Rather do this as gently as we can. I got enough of smashing people into trees before I got podded.". There is a pause as she looks down into Terra's eyes.
"Yeah... I know that look. Best of three, and I let you walk out of here."

"Good? He's the reason we're like this, isn't he?" Terra replies with a frown at the showing of bracers. That didn't seem like a good enough reason to stay here. "And you can find things like that out of this place." She gives in a reasoning tone, one hand motioning around them.
"I almost drowned here. More than once, I'm not willing to risk staying here. Who knows what other fucked up stuff they'll do to me. I'd take the chance of getting stabbed," she tells the bigger woman calmly. Everything considered, she was being very civil about this situation. Then again, she wasn't sure how things would go if she would try and fight her way out of this.
"Best of three... of what?" Terra keeps Stag's gaze, staying where she was. Pokemon? One on one fighting? Staring contest?

"It's not the worst thing, being a softhide. Come on, we'll go to the mat room.". She waved Terra along and stepped across the hall, apparently oblivious to the girl's companions laying in wait. "First one to two... Nah let's make it three pins. You win, I never saw you and I go back to sleep. You keep the hammer, and I do what I can for you... When we are called to come stop you. You lose, the hammer goes back, and you come with me peacefully to where the others are."
There is a pause and she smirks over her shoulder at Terra. "Not that I've lost. Not in a long time. Better we settle it like this to breaking each other, making a mess, and rousing the colony."

Terra gave a half tilt of her head at the comment about being soft. It was true, but it didn't make things less annoying. Attention given as Stag explained what they were going to be doing for their contest of whether she gets to leave or the other tries to force her to stay.
"Things aren't half bad outside, as long as you find good people," Terra comments with a shrug. Then raising an eyebrow at the statement of not losing, there's a bit of a snort in amusement.
"I think the few I've been in... I'm tied on wins and losses? Though the first one was a bit unbalanced... considering it was against a stupid whale," she points out. Arms stretched to the side until the popped and she nodded. "Okay. I guess... I'm ready?"

"They all look the same to me. No horns or pinchers, no wings.". Stag makes a face. "Pretty hard to know who to trust when an endless procession of samey vest and backwards cap wearing males in jeans show up every half moon to compete at who can kidnap your brother or sister the best.". She gives a snort, removing her armlets and setting them to one side, though it is clear she feels exposed without them.
Dropping low and stancing wide, she knocked her wrists together twice. "I believe you when you say Maxie pissed you off. Humans are just like that. It's why I stick with the colony."
