Week 7: May 13th - May 17th

[cartesio]

Seventh Week

The tense truce that had covered Cartesio was over. The town, feeling betrayed after having given a chance to the outsiders, pushed back. Enraged, they started getting even more daring, starting to get into the tourists' only safe haven: their motel rooms. They don't manage to break in, but it's not unusual to hear thumping on the doors, someone trying to get in. The windows are almost perpetually broken, there's so much graffiti on the ground floor of the motel, both inside and outside, it's hard to know what each one is saying. Can't be anything good, that's the only thing that's certain. The lounge's furniture has been tore to pieces, the lobby only has the guestbook intact, and the planters in middle of the motel are broken, the soil and plants strewn around.

The residents of Cartesio are near their breaking point. The despair, fury, and desire to get rid of the outsiders so everyone can return to their peaceful lives, have covered the town. It won't take long before they reach their breaking point, and if they do...what will happen to the visitors?

The Sergeant's grip on the town is total, and next week is the one marked as END. It seems like there's no way out, like the Sergeant won.

But you can't lose hope. You have to remember: now that you're on your darkest hour, the only way lef to go is upwards. Things can get better, you have to make it happen!

In the lobby of the motel there's a few more brochures, and the maps have been updated once again. Don't mind that some of them have been damaged in one of the attacks on the motel.

[Go go team Sakura, what puzzles await us here?]

[cartesio]

[There's a box of some sort protruding from a pipe on the street, hidden with some balloons.

Are you ready?]

[clearities]

[ no she is absolutely not ready but that doesn't mean that things aren't gonna get done so let's check suspicious box out I GUESS is it one that can be peered into or do we have to open it up because Sakura is not touching it in case it. might blow up on them. ]

[cartesio]

[On top of the box there's what seems to be a motherboard. Several cables come out of it, snaking into the box. On the center there's a big chip, and to the side, a panel with instructions:

'Don't cut any cables. If you want to disarm this, connect the chip to a cable following two rules:

A: You need to pass through exactly seven circles, including the one the cable's touching

B: You need to make the least amount possible of 90° turns']

[quickpersuader]

...Here, let me handle the wires.

[She has gloves on and some bomb know-how. Carefully, she tries arranging a wire.]
