	|QuestionText=if caleb (and potential company) was/were to take advantage of the chaos during <i>requiem in bloom</i> to infiltrate patho-gen hq for some sleuthing, how successful will it be? he will be aiming to hack into and/or retrieve potential physical and/or non-physical files/data that could discern what patho-gen is up to, especially irt their current debacle.  <br><br>(and ofc learning from his previous mistake, he will be paying heed to any cameras to evade and/or destroy.)<br><br>also appropos to the above question, i'm assuming that characters will only have access to their natural soul abilities to combat the tree/zombies since they're within patho-gen hq territory, correct?

    |AnswerText=<small>blinks... The month has been unkind to us both.</small> Our apologies, some of these questions are easier to answer while others are a tad more taxing.<br><br>Patho-Gen... The building itself is in a state of lockdown. It will not be easy to infiltrate, but <b>plenty of rooms will have security protocol out of whack</b>. This means that some previously inaccessible rooms may be... accessible! Unfortunately, a lot of what Caleb/potential company might find has little to do with the current debacle, particularly in any <i>accessible</i> areas. However, there is a bit of an interesting find that Caleb might discover—and even if he's not destroying the cameras, things are way too chaotic for anyone to notice anything! Patho-Gen is in lockdown, evacuation, et cetera mode.<br><br>If there's anything to be discovered, it's some sort of <b>digital file</b> open on a computer that is documenting the effects being noticed in Kelesis. Despite Patho-Gen's upfront claims that "everything is fine" in Kelesis, there seems to be robust notes about what's <i>not</i> fine. Accessible in this file for as long as Caleb can view it includes the fact that <b>seven Patho-Gen scientists have died</b> in the past month due to their travels to Kelesis... The causes of death include: <tt>1-5. arcane radiation poisoning, 6. UNKNOWN, 7. predation.</tt> Their identities are not disclosed. <br><br>The abilities characters have thanks to their Natural Soul are surprisingly reachable in Patho-Gen territory even in the midst of this attack! However, any <i>other</i> powers they possess are still completely defunct while in Patho-Gen HQ. Natural Soul powers may not be reached if a Patho-Gen scientist were presently using a device to restrain or restrict a character, but while all of this is going down they may use many of their Natural Soul powers even in Patho-Gen HQ. (Just... not any of their From-Home powers.)
