"Space Command? Recolonization? Get the feeling I'm missing out on a lot here." The mercenary said with an inkling of confusion, and a growing suspicion this rabbit hole went a lot deeper than he thought it would.
Least the password worked, so he went ahead through that door and continued into the next chamber. Not sure what to make of the towers and other odd 'decorations' in here, for now he bypassed those and went over to the next keypad that he'd have to fumble his way through to get the answers he wanted. "This place is making me regret not taking religion seriously." He commented with a sigh, as he tried to figure out what he'd have to tell this one to make it open up. Eventually he tried 'Amuro', after spending a good 5 minutes scratching his chin trying to think of what it was trying to reference. These questions weren't even very clear, and that made it even worse.

The Answer was correct and the archive soon opened with, "What is your query?"

Mayze was somewhat surprised that the computer spoke to him.
He had a couple of questions so he'd go ahead and get them out of the way all at once.
"What is the Society? What are projects Neo's God Hand and Artificial Cyber? What is that machine being built in this facility?"

The Archive soon stirred to life with the first question.
"The Society is a group comprised of the world's for most scientist in the world, their goal is to restoration of the mankind to retake what was long during the true history. Formed during what is commonly called The Dark Wars, with the much unknown what occurred exactly all communication with the USHC was lost during a time and total collapse of the civil society. Created in response to both preserve and actively find all lost technology which is proclaimed forbidden by the Grand Mafesto, and to be directly controlled by the Path of Centura. Due to this much of world history has been purposely distorted by The Holy Path, thus The Society continues to Follow the Path of Centura Altar, the true history. The Society is made up of many various independent cells so if one is discovered the others will not, entering in controlling and hiding information about The Society, The Zalborian Cells were formed during the creation of the Kingdom and have been hidden within the Zalborian Culture since its inception. In fact almost all Zalborian technological advancement have been steadily controlled by The Society using various other fronts and allies within the Zalborian Court. Thus The Society's true intent is restoration of the human race at cost of any means even if it means destruction of entire populaces."
With the second inquiry it soon continues with its answer.
"Project Neos, is an attempt to find what many in today's world are called Neos. An evolutionary step of mankind, Neos can sense others, and can communication telepathically. It is viewed within The Society community Neos are the future of mankind that will one day end the days of the Old Humans and one day all humans will evolve into Neos. In fact in studies at least 10% to 30% of the entire world population are some form of Neos. Majority sadly are only minor evolved, thus the search for true Neos began for twenty years, the first case that the Project attempt to capture was that of Regina Dahut of the Dahut Clan, showing power that of a Neos many attempts to acquire her have been step back with the intervention of her eventual husband Achmetha Rorke the Hero Dragoon of the Cuillinn-Rorke-Bachelet Clan. Is it due to this Project Neos observed both the daughter and son. Only the son showed signs of inheriting his mother's power thus due to easier to capture then a full grown adult it was determined to find the subject. As well the Gransela Clan's heir the child James Gransela showed signs with our observations and spies throughout the kingdom. Finally the one who awaken the fastest was no other then the Crown Prince's very own first daughter Princess Keiana Lamont. It was planned to acquire all three when the state capital visit was planned by Kylan V, The Wise. As well it was perfect opportunity to eliminate all who knew of The Society, so the planned assassination of the Margrave Rorke, High King Kylan, High King's very own Aide, and Margrave Gransela was planned in the works. If the plan failed all information would show evidence it was the Clan Fafia who plotted this. With using The Trade King's ambition who wanted Fafian oil for himself and the royal authority, the Fafian Rebellion was instigated on utterly false claims. As well due to Fafian's own Clan head knowing the truth as well, not to mention finding a piece of The Great Dragon God's Hand, the utter eradication of the Fafian Clan was preferred."
With the next part it soon began to talk of the Artificial Cyber.
"Artificial Cyber also known as Cyber Neos or commonly known on the battlefield as Dark Dragoon are artificially created Neos using various drugs and other enhancements. Currently much of Cyber Neos could be considered utterly insane and best used to kill anything on the battlefield including allies. Thus the Project to create and experiment on orphan children was preferred to attempt to create such things. As well a cloning facility within Fafian Region was created to attempt to make child Cyber Neos who's sole purpose is to serve the scientific progress in advancing the project. Currently its one of the main projects of the Zalborian Cells in an attempt to created and mass produced a perfectly new breed of human that will eventually replace all normal people in the world is the end result. To push the evolutionary advances the old world must be purged of anything remotely related to the old inferior human being."
Then the final part which would begin to send how major this truly was.
"The machine in this facility was not built but excavated, likely dating to 800 or 700 years old from the time that was known as The Universal Century or commonly called The Age of Gods, when mankind lived in the stars above and at its apex. Much of the facility was to reequip the head piece to both rebuild it and restore it. Once on the completion of transport of the head piece of God's Hand, the attempt to finding the remaining pieces that are in Zalboria and Raoceria are required. Nicknamed a Great Dragon, God's Hand or also known as God Dragon is the largest Dragon ever found in the history of mankind, being six times larger then the average Dragon it is theorized to be a nation destroyer, with enough power to wipe out any nation without much way to stop it. As well its power source which is still under experiments has more energy required then the entire energy output of the Central Empire of Baladorax. The only issue of this weapon it requires three Neos to control it and must be synchronize to be used. Thus the capture of the three Zalborian Neos are required so the Artifical Cyber may be completed to allow the final phase of Project God's Hand come to an end."

The amount of information in here was moving, and the implications nothing short of damning. He almost wouldn't believe he was really seeing any of it, which made him glad the tiny machine was here to record and play witness to it as well. A lot of this seemed to revolve around neos, which had him thinking. Some people who called themselves that moved to Draanmor ages ago when their nation was destroyed, and now Mayze was wondering if these guys didn't have something to do with that event in an attempt to round up as many of them as possible.
Troubling.
"Where in these two nations are the remaining pieces believed to be hidden?" Gralon asked first, to try and get an idea of where these goons would end up hunting next. Supposing they couldn't do something about the parts here, maybe they could send word ahead to other parts of Raoecia and Zalboria and grab the rest before the society could.
The other burning question this raised was what exactly this cryptic final phase was all about. Since this thing didn't seem to have any problems telling the whole story, he figured, why not ask it? "What's the final phase of this operation?"

The Machine soon gave its answer after all it is what it was made for.
"Currently out of 15 pieces of God's Hand six pieces have been found and already been gathered, one piece is in Kasorymor Region, another is within the Capital of Zaltium under lock and guard of the High King, one is somewhere within the Paemir Region, another was found by Late Margrave Gransela and hidden somewhere, the remaining are in unknown locations likely in Raoceria and he final piece it is unknown where within Zalboria."
With the final question the archive gave its cold and harsh answer.
"Due to unknown variables and if proof that the God's Hand is truly a Nation Destroyer. Final Phase will be an On Field Trial Run to see its full capability in a world stage level. thus the Far Kingdom of Zalboria has been chosen as the Trial Run Location thus the people of Zalboria will be sacrificed to give way to result of this experiment."
That words of what was spoken would haunt anyone, the Far Kingdom of Zalboria was slated to be utterly destroyed for a simple 'experiment'.

"Well, that's bad news." The exile muttered to himself, mulling over what could be done about that. Little, it seemed, if they completed it. So they'd just have to make sure that it didn't end up coming to that.
While here he might as well try to figure out as much as he could so that they could deal with this threat as efficiently as possible down the road. Being a historical archive he doubted it'd have all their military information, but he supposed it might still house some relevant data.
"How many personnel work on this base? Where can other Society facilities be found? Are any members of the Fafian Clan presumed to still be alive, and if so, where are their suspected locations? What information do you have on clans: Kasorymor, Lamont, Zalbor, Gransela, and Rorke?"
He figured with these questions he might be able to find out some other places to strike, as well as how much they knew about their own defenses. While tempted to ask about Torrzal directly he decided not to and, instead, asked about the parent Zalbor clan. That ought to still give the same intel without leaving evidence that could incriminate his own clan. Being the major clans of the nation, and the past ruling clan, asking about these would seem fairly routine.
As for the Fafian inquiry, that was a long shot, but on the off chance one of their bloodline got away they might make an invaluable ally.
And one more question he almost forgot: "Where are the exits from this base?"

"The current facility houses up to forty current active personnel with all currently within the facility. It is unknown for security measure that all Society locations are unknown to this archive, only with a master keycard such information can be disclosed. There is approximately 3 living members of the Fafian Clan, whereabouts unknown, some have suggested one fled to parts unknown within the Drannmor Region. As for the the inquired clan information, four of the five are have active military presence and a threat to the Society if found out. As for the clan of Zalbor the main branch of the old Royal Line has completely died out. Exception of a few possibly other descendants due to their disappearances the new main line is that of the Grand Prince of the United Principality. It is known though the Grand Prince's own daughter married into the Lamont main branch thus combining both Usurper and original lines with the children of Kylan VI, heir apparent Crown Prince Kylan Lamont, First Princess Keiana Lamont, Second Princess Evangeline Lamont, Third Princess Lumia Lamont, and the 2nd Prince Robb-Koeff Lamont."
Though when the information of the various clans and their military capabilities, as well other information which itself was extensive was on display.
"The Exit of the Base is through the either the top of the within the Fafian Citadel, or through the secret transfer railway that leads directly inot the dock that does all transportation."
In other words... either go with the dogs... or into the thick of where the the Society members are.

Mayze committed the information to memory, not surprised that this thing couldn't give him the details on other bases. After all, this group wouldn't last very long if they were that sloppy with their security measures. Still, what intelligence he did get was extremely useful in the short term, and no doubt would be again down the road as well. The part about the Fafian clan made him raise an eyebrow, he hadn't expected one of them to be back home. While it was a place of exiles and undesirables to be sure, it was also extremely far away and likely not an easy route of escape for a high profile target like the Fafian clan's nobility. Torrzal received only a handful of survivors from this region by boat, the rest had to flee overland with many not making it as the stories tell. Then again, with their grim reputation, any Fafians left likely changed their name to hide.
Maybe he'd have to go try and track them down.
Regardless, for now he had to get going. He turned the display back to its default screen and then sighed, folding his arms and turning to Haro.
"How many of those wolves do you think are out there?" The soldier inquired, weighing both options against one another. As much as he didn't like the wolves, he really didn't like the idea of tangling with a base full of well armed soldiers. That box trick probably wouldn't work twice.

Haro soon turned to Mayze with saying, "Finally tall guy talks to Haro!! How many... Uhh......... about two dozen haro!!"

"Hey, this was some important stuff. You heard the machine." He said, jerking a thumb back towards the archive.
That said, he was liking what the machine was telling him more than this guy. Two dozen wolves...and they were probably all camped right by that door, too.
"Guess we'll be leaving by the docks. Keep close, I get the feeling it'll get pretty dicey before we're home free."
While saying that he moved to the door and peeked out into the hall, looking for any guards or other personnel that might be wandering through the area. Supposing that the corridor was clear, he'd head out and start making his way downwards towards where he was told this railway station was.

When Mayze began to get closer he would soon end up on another steel walkway that was open. It was the only way through the secret passage but there was many boxes and crates along the way. Not to mention someone had spotting lines throughout the area that kept watch. Haro soon says, "This is the only way to get to the next portion tall guy, Haro!!"
This meant he had to be careful because looking down you could see a few people preparing something which suddenly the steel door opened showing the large head what Mayze saw earlier this time being transferred on a large rail road at a slow pace towards the other end of the tunnel.

Gralon weaved between the boxes until he was on the final walkway suspended above the train tracks. All the guards had him a little worried, but so far, so good. Down towards the far end of this corridor he noticed the door opening to move that giant dragon's head on the back of a train. He supposed that this was the same car he needed to get on to go to the docks. Or even if not, he assumed it'd lead there sooner or later.
"Alright, well, this one's going to be rough. You're going to get another drop." Mayze said while peering over the railing that kept personnel from falling off the raised platform he was standing on now. Of course, doing that anyway was exactly what he planned to do at this moment.
He picked up Haro and tucked the small robot under his arm and then crouched low behind a stack of boxes, waiting for that train car to move closer and wind up directly underneath him. When it was positioned just right, and no one was looking, he stepped over the guard rail and lowered himself down off the walkway, hanging by one hand. Bracing for impact, he went ahead and let go to drop onto the back of the last car in the convoy. His reasoning was someone would likely be watching the section holding the head, so he'd be better off landing as far from that as possible.
Hopefully anyway.

As the dropped in happened for once everything is going as planned. None noticed Mayze's dropping in and the rail car began to move a bit faster but still quite slow. There was luckily a crate not too far for someone to hide well on the convoy. As it continued patrols around were being carried out and watch lights were constantly watching the various places. One would wonder thought why doing such length's over paranoia or something more? It would continue like this for some time.

Gralon quickly lifted the lid of the crate and hopped into it, leaving the top ajar just enough to peek out as the vehicle proceeded through the tunnel. All the security measures made him a bit suspicious, but this was a high profile piece of gear they were moving so it didn't shock him too much to see all the steps being taken.
For now he tries to lay low until this car comes to a stop, ideally by the docks.
