* Red + Lavi investigated the reception area (no notable things found)

* Interrigation of the captured individual
* Stealing of a 180-year old bottle of whisky by Vex.
* Yoruji then entering from the garage door.

### Part II

Yoruji having left the group to be for a couple of minutes, Vex and Rolym attempt to open the door. Vex freezes the door with her Soul Release, in which she then attempts to pry it open with brute strength. Rolym begins to rapidly smash the door open with the combined efforts of his martial arts and Soul Release - to little success. The door then begins to try and open itself, getting caught by the ice and frost that covers it before Vex then dismisses it which allows for it to open properly. Yoruji is met with a fist from Rolym who is trace-like punching - which has no notable effect on Yoruji...

* Yoruji introduces himself and informs the group that they are analysing the device which will take them another hour or so to do. He has no interest in the device after that.
* Yoruji then offered everyone a drink, taking surprise in some orders, such as that of Argand.
* Yoruji also offered for the group to work under him - as he sees a lot of potential for them with his plans and ambitions.
* Party moved to booth to discuss things. Rolym and Vex arm-wrestled with Yoruji. Rolym lost, Vex won - earning 10,000 Senni.
* Red and Argand requested to look at the garage/device. After getting an armed drone to watch the rest of the group, Yoruji then escorted them into the garage.
* In the garage, Red noticed the large, heavily armed 7-8 metre tall mecha amongst the other half-dozen vehicles.
* Red had left his tablet with Reaver as it was set to hack into the ??? systems - which failed. (Tablet went to sleep, couldn't log back in)
* After Yoruji, Red and Argand return back into the lobby/bar area, Lavi was scribbling on the sleeping goon.
* Noticing the goon was still alive, Yoruji swiftly shot him in the forehead informing the others he "Has no use for useless tools".
* After an hour the cannon and its container was returned back into the K3LP13 and the group returned to their delivery mission.
* A six-hour ride later the group arrives in the coastal city of Nerlin, honing in on the A... Towers - the Skargai Headquarters for Optimis'd. They head through a back entrance to an underground warehouse.
* Venn greets them, congratulating Argand on a successful and swift delivery. He then takes Argand aside, talking about how the 'Church' is pleased with his efforts and are happy for him to join them as an acolyte.
* The group decides to find a way back to the ranch, finally deciding on taking an Airship most of the way home. With Argand's ute not being able to fit everyone (legally), Argand drives to the station whilst the others walk.
* During the walk to the station the group hears a commotion and screaming coming from a nearby street. Red and Lavi see mecha is causing destruction to a nearby building down the street.
* Red rushes to the mecha, jumping on top of it. Lavi, Rolym and Reaver rush to the construct. Vex heads towards it, taking her time to assess the situation.
* The mecha destroys a large portion of the wall, taking off with two ATMs whilst Red is still atop of it.
* As it attempts to get away - running over parked cars as it is doing so Reaver takes two powerful shots that take out an engine on the machine.
* Rolym summons his draconic Kushaira, NAME, who dives down an rips the machine in half, slamming it down into the car and road.
* The mecha explodes, flinging Red off of it.
* Lavi, Rolym (through his Kushaira) and Red assist the civilians who were trapped in the rubble.
* Vex attempts to slow down the growth of the mecha's flames through her frost-based Soul Release.
* Lavi then begins to apply first aid as emergency services begin to arrive.
* Ambulance services assist those harmed, whilst the Fire Brigade put out the chemical fire that envelops the destroyed mecha.
* Whilst being tended to Vex uses her healing abilities to remove a 2nd-degree burn in front of an ambulance officer, shocking him beyond belief.
* Lavi attempts to collect evidence from the destroyed mecha but is stopped by a Drake Vision officer.
* Whilst returning to the station Red searches for an underground weapons shop, eventually finding "Bombs and Bonkers". He buys five smoke grenades and several shady looking pistols before returning back with the group.
