Titicaca Investigation
Lineland remembered that the Second Yetian Empire had claimed to have multiple allies beyond merely the Third Sizzlean Empire, which Sipedro also found concerning. The most likely candidate they thought was their ally was the Waclaw Empire, though they regardless decided to confirm this further by asking all Chungus allies to identify themselves, leading to the people of Greenland and two unidentified locations to claim to be allies. Sipedro initially decided against trying to make them reveal themselves immediately, but soon decided to go through with it anyway, trying to convince them due to Chungus' defeat and presumed death. Sipedro eventually managed to convince one of the two unidentified states to tell them their identities, but the other killed the one which was going to leak the details. Sipedro became furious and demanded answers after insulting them, attempting to convince them to reveal their identity, though this failed as they claimed they had other reasons to remain hidden despite the death of the other. Sipedro accused them of being the Yetian National Front, to which the unknown nation gave a very unconvincing refusal, prompting Sipedro to accuse them of being the YNF. Sipedro shouted, claiming they would hunt them down and kill them once Lineland had tracked their signal. Sipedro's attitude suddenly changed, claiming that all of their previous aggressive talk was not them and that someone else was on their communications. Deciding to go along with the tracking, Sipedro baited them to continue to speak regardless so that Lineland could track them, which eventually succeeded once Lineland triangulated their location to be by Lake Titicaca in South America. Sipedro briefly continued to bait the unknown nation by hinting that they knew where their base was, eventually revealing that they knew about Titicaca which lead to the nation cutting off contact.
Sipedro sent over a agent called Sandrew to break into the facility at Titicaca, arriving at its door and attempting to guess the password on a computer terminal until guards spot him and engaged the facility's self-destruct, trapping the Sipedroan agent in the process., Deciding to check up on the facility's status, Sipedro sent a Parahuman with Electrokinesis who went by the name of Kendro or Electricity Guy to the facility. The facility was in ruins, with the new agent only hearing crumbling metal, though Electricity Guy did manage to recover Sandrew from under a satellite dish. They together decided to continue the investigation, discovering a trapped non-sentient robot and next a massive robotic arm seemingly used to transport heavy objects, which Electricity Guy attached to himself and tried to operate, though its sheer size and power flung him into a wall at terminal velocity. Deciding to continue their investigation, they largely toook notice of heaps of burnt fabric, broken androids, and strange dark tubes. They chased down a still active Yetian Probesphere, smashing through a door it walked through, entering another room with a big door with the probe heading deeper thru a vent, prompting them to smash through another door to enter a control room with the probe operating a computer terminal, startling it as it closed a wall infront of them, though Electricity Guy used his powers to manipulate the door into activating something, prompting the intercom to blare 'Activating Emergency Protocol' in the east of the building, where they found various Probespheres, BX-1 War Androids, BX-2 War Androids, and many others. The agents noticed that the androids were operating a terminal which 'summoned' a number of cylinders with buttons that the robots were moving to press, freaking them out due to the point of running due to their past trauma.
They soon began to hear strange noises of steam being released, soon beginning to envelop them as they heard robotic chatter in the distance, noting the phrase 'Activate It' before loud mechanical thuds and rumbling begin as the facility's factory whirred back to life, fleeing the building out of shock due to the noises. They became stressed out and punched the ground, leading to it collapsing and dropping them into a factory where they avoided the machinery assembling new robots until one of them smashed downwards which revealed a hallway after the floor broke, which the headed into in order to find a elevator that sent them to a control room which contained logs about the factory's operations. Sandrew began slamming random buttons, popping up a log claiming that the factory would build an army, prompting him to decide to try to deactivate it until they heard the elevator activate again, leading to them to quickly hide behind a dog statue to avoid the 5 robots that came in to check on a disturbance. Sandrew quickly grabbed a gun to shoot two that were guarding the entrance and did a backflip, only to be hit in the head by a crowbar wielded by the robot manning the control panel until said robot was deactivated by Kendro's electromancy. After this, alarms began to blare as the control panel was set ablaze, forcing them to flee into a elevator. 3 robots in ended up being in the elevator, forcing the two to fight them off despite Kendro's electricity being drained, leading to Sandrew using wrestling moves to take down one of them while another told something to a Probesphere before smacking Sandrew until Kendro beat it to death with a crowbar, soon pulling off a similar attack on the third robot in the elevator. They went onto another elevator and headed upwards, being briefly ripped open on the way which allowed a Probesphere to get inside, though the elevator kept going until it stopped and half opened, though the door appeared to be blocked by a object which they had to remove, allowing the Probe that had entered the elevator to rush out and activate more of the facility in another control room, which Sandrew began to destroy. The two were now mostly out of the facility, allowing them to contact Sipedro for extraction in order to deliver evidence of what they had found.
