As the group looked around the room, Huggy Wuggy spotted a locker with a gray hand with a pressure gauge at the center inside it. "Hand..." he said.
The trio looked in Huggy Wuggy's direction and spotted the gray hand. "That's a hand I've never seen before; what kind is it?" Doey asked. Katelynn spotted a poster on the wall before approaching it; as she read it, she looked at the others. "Over here," she said.
As the trio approached Katelynn, they looked at the poster. "Pressure Hand..." Huggy Wuggy said, lowly. Doey looked at the locker. "Do you think...?" he asked.
Michelle nodded. "Yeah... the green handprint on the shipping container and the Pressure Hand have to be correlated," she said. "All we need to do is find a code to open it."
Michelle looked at Glowby and held her left arm out before walking around the room. When Michelle was close to the whiteboard, they made an alert sound. "Here," she said before pressing the green button twice.
When the blacklight was on, they saw an arrow pointing up on the whiteboard. "Board only show arrow," Huggy Wuggy said. Michelle grabbed the top of the whiteboard with her right hand. "Then, let's see what's on the other side," she said.
When Michelle turned the whiteboard, they saw numbers with the blacklight and a circle around Luke's name. "There are so many numbers..." Katelynn said, lowly.
Michelle looked at the numbers under Luke's name. "I'm guessing 0859 is the code for that locker," she said before approaching the locker. When Michelle typed the code in, the locker door opened, which made her smile. "Nice," she said.
Doey looked at the knob on Michelle's right prosthetic. "Bubba did say it was similar to the old prosthetic, so the switching hands part is probably the same," he said before looking at the Pressure Hand, worried. "Connecting new hands to the prosthetic though..."
Michelle twisted the knob, which retracted the red hand into her arm, and an empty slot appeared before she looked at the Pressure Hand. "Don't think of the pain..." she said, lowly, before lining it.
When Michelle put the slot into the Pressure Hand, she felt a jolt of pain, which made her grunt a bit and hold the lower arm while the fingers started moving; the trio looked at her, worried. "You OK?" Doey asked.
Michelle took a deep breath before exhaling. "I'm fine," she said as she looked at the Pressure Hand before closing and opening it. "It still hurt, but it wasn't as painful as before..."
Michelle looked at the door. "Now to put this new hand to the test," she said before they left the room. When the group got on the shipping container, Michelle looked at the trio. "Anything?" she asked.
When CatNap glanced at the ground, he saw two Outimals eating near the hole on Bron's side. "Most of them have dispersed but didn't dare climb up here while a few are having their meal," he said.
Michelle shuddered a bit. "That's... good to know..." she said, lowly, before looking at the trio. "Well, I got the Pressure Hand; I think it's time we leave this area."
The group nodded before they got on the other side; Michelle looked at the green handprint before looking at the Pressure Hand. "Now to see you in action," she said before aiming her right arm.
The Pressure Hand shot from Michelle's wrist and touched the green handprint. Michelle squinted her eyes a bit as the pressure gauge on the Pressure hand started going up.
When the gauge reached the red spot, Michelle retracted it, causing the Pressure Hand to push the shipping container far before stopping near the third catwalk.
When the Pressure Hand was back on Michelle's wrist, she looked at it. "I could get used to you," she said before looking at the group. "Let's go." The group nodded as they moved forward; when they were near Bron, he looked at them while making low growls.
Michelle looked at Bron before placing her left hand against his nose. "Sorry, big guy..." she said, lowly, as she petted him. "If you're still alive after all of this... we'll come back for you; I promise..."
Bron stared at Michelle as she pulled her hand away, and the group walked forward. When the group saw the shipping container, they crossed it. When Michelle aimed the blacklight at the wall, she saw an arrow pointing to the right.
When Michelle turned to the right, she spotted a dark carmine pink cassette tape. "A cassette tape," she said as she pressed the button twice, switching from the blacklight to regular light, before approaching it.
When Michelle was close to the cassette tape, she carefully picked it up and opened the white part on Glowby. After Michelle closed the white part, the group gathered around her as she pressed the red button.
Soon after, the group heard Poppy crying and sniffling; soon after, they heard metal clanking. "Ah, here you are... hiding in your room," the Prototype said. "Running away from the rebellion you started."
The group heard Poppy sniffling. "I can't..." she said, lowly. "I can't be who they need. I'm not..." Michelle stared at Glowby with a slight frown. "I didn't ask for them to look to me... but I—" the Prototype interrupted Poppy, "Failed... it scared you, and so you ran... like a child."
The toys growled a bit. "Prototype... stop this; please..." Poppy said. "You wanted something better, but... but if you don't let the orphans go, you won't get it; don't you see that?"
Michelle looked down. "Even if you kill me, you'll be fighting the others for years," Poppy continued. "Please, just let them go, and NO one else needs to die for either of us... please..."
The toys looked at Glowby. "Everything dies, Poppy... everything except us," the Prototype said.
The group heard metal noises before they heard Poppy yelp. "What are you—" the Prototype interrupted her. "You refuse truth; you refuse reality: Your orphans can never go free. Otherwise, we'll be left with nothing, and infinity will be lonely."
The group heard clanking noises. "I know only one way to make you see this," the Prototype continued. The group heard Poppy sound frantic. "No, no no no! Prototype, please— STOP! PLEASE!!" she shouted.
As the group heard the metal clanking get quiet, they heard Poppy's cries and screams as she banged on the glass before the tape ended. As the white part opened, the toys stared at Glowby with somber eyes. "How awful..." Katelynn said, lowly.
Huggy Wuggy looked down with low, sad growls while Yarnaby whimpered. "He would do something like this... to his own sister..." Mommy Long Legs said, lowly, before covering her mouth. "We've seen cruelty from the scientists, but this..."
CatNap looked down. "Being encased inside glass is a terrible form of torture..." he said, lowly. As Doey looked down, claws formed on his left hand, which made him grip it. "I know, Kev... I know..." he said, lowly, before the claws retracted.
When Doey looked at Michelle, he noticed she was staring at Glowby with tears falling from her eyes, which worried him. "Misha..." he said, lowly.
Michelle covered her mouth with her left hand. "That... is not how you treat siblings..." she said, lowly. "Whatever this is... it's toxic..." Michelle looked at the tape inside Glowby before pulling it out and staring at it.
Soon after, Michelle clenched the cassette tape in her right hand; the pressure gauge on the Pressure Hand started going up a bit, causing it to crack. Soon after, Michelle crushed the cassette tape in her hand before letting the pieces go.
Michelle looked at the group, determined. "We need to find a way to kill that motherfucker, immediately," she said; the group stared at her before nodding and crossing the shipping container.
When Michelle was close to the second part of the catwalk, she aimed her right arm before the Pressure Hand shot from her wrist. When the Pressure Hand touched the green handprint, the pressure gauge went up until it reached the red part.
Michelle retracted the Pressure Hand, pushing the shipping container to the far end before the group approached it. After the group was on the other side, they looked at the large vent covered by a vent grille.
Michelle aimed her right arm before the Pressure Hand shot toward the vent grille. When the Pressure Hand touched the vent grille, the pressure gauge went up until it reached the red part, which caused the bars to bend.
Michelle retracted the Pressure Hand, destroying the vent grille. Hang on, Poppy... we're going to save you... she thought before they entered the vent.
