(from crossed-worlds) (Zombot AU rewrite hours lets GOOOOOOO))
It took time, slowly closing and locking all the windows and external doors. The locks were busted on some so she used large boulders inside the museum or heavy display cases to block the entrances. Whatever those things were outside, they made Matilda VERY uneasy... after all they reminded her a little too much of Robians. Only...these things still had voices and looked WAY too mobian for comfort. Creepy....
The armadillo shook her head and then went to move further into the museum. Okay okay, there had to be some thing in here she could use to figure out what was going on. Then she'd leave and never have to come back here again. Looked like this world was pretty far gone... she'd call Blaze and she could relay it to Zonic who could mark it unsafe.....or erase it. Perish the thought.
The Museum sat near the center of town, siting close to city hall and was the towns pride and joy. Many signs along the city walkways denoted it as a point of interest. It had good funding resulting in some decent security measures, including steel shudders that blocked the windows. Yet seemed one of them had malfunctioned and refused to close. The window now busted and damaged from forced entry. The floor was littered with glass and broken furniture as if a battle took place here. Crystals dotted the floor, some rare and beautiful others more mundane yet nothing taken it was all left by the creatures outside.
Matilda's only saving grace was that they seemed not to regard her as a threat. Ignoring her entirely, as if she didn't exist. She could walk among them and they didn't seem to acknowledge her, some would look at her as if she did not exist. Others seemed to gaze at her with a look that seemed almost sorrowful yet none of them seemed hostile, none of them seemed hostile toward her. They just stood around, staring at the ground as if waiting for something that might never come.
Nothing out front gave a hint as to what had happened, the computer consoles trashed. Yet the door at the back was closed, and sealed shut. A heavy duty vault door, though scratched and damaged it didn't appear the creatures could get through it. A simple keypad sat on the right of the door as if waiting for some input, though a keen eye might find a bit of paper behind the main desk with the code scrawled on it in hasty hand writing.
it read:
Tangle, memorize this its been almost 2 months, i don't like leaving the code to the door laying around.

Well that at least would get her in the back, with out tearing the door off its hinges. The door would simply slide open with a hiss and the turning of a bolt, it seemed the museum had a backup power system that was still online. The lights flickered once the door was open and a low moan rumbled through the building--- the last of the reserves exhausted to open the vault door. Inside, was Geo-Laboratory, many sensitive bits of equipment now lay in a heap on the floor. A scuffle had occurred here leaving the lab in disarray.
But Matilda had other problems, the moment the door opened up two bright red eyes met her own. Unlike the others who seemed to ignore her---this one didn't. It's eyes flaring to life at her entry and it turned toward her its great spiked tail slamming into the concreate floor! It let out a wild howl of fury and--- it charged forward at her at full speed! It was fast, nothing like the others and it seemed to not care for friend or foe! as it crossed the room like a bolt of lightning!
