Event 6
The unrecognizable noises throughout the factory have died down completely, and things have gone back to normal, or so it was believed. There was still something off about the factory, as if a strong presence still lingered, restless, in the air. The king and prince seemed unaffected by the events that happened, their bodies intact, unharmed, and unchanged.
Across the speakers a familiar voice echoed throughout the halls "Hello, this is your prince speaking. I would like all personnel to please stay on standby for a mandatory meeting. I repeat, all personnel stay on standby for a mandatory mee-". The voice is cut off by a loud screech that rattled through the halls. The voice returns as if nothing happened but his voice seemed to waiver ever so slightly as he repeated himself again and signs off.
Hours later the speakers turn on without a final "click" to signify they had turned off. Nothing but silence was heard. As hours pass some start to believe they hear a faint voice. Some don't believe them, telling them it's nonsense as they go on with their work. As the hours continue to pass more start to believe they hear a faint voice through the speakers. Static starts to arise through the speakers. Employees get angry, asking for the speakers to be shut off but the king and prince can do nothing. They already had unplugged the speakers. Tensions start to rise ...

As each hour passes the words became clearer and clearer through the static as more and more started to realize there were words being spoken.

Finally everyone can clearly make out the words that have been repeated and unrecognized for hours.
"̶Th̨e ͞n̢ig̛ht̀s are s͝t͡i͘l̶l͞ ͡y̛o҉ung, ̷we͜ ͢m̀u̵st̶ g̸ath͟e͘r͘.͘.́."͡
Confused the employees whisper amongst each other, some feel a chill in the air, while others are looking for an explanation.
The speakers do not seem to click off but the silence left by the soft airy voice was taken over by a familiar voice. "Hello, this is your prince speaking. I would like all personnel to please stay on standby for a mandatory meeting. I repeat, all personnel stay on standby for a mandatory meeting, thank you.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Days Later
The factory speakers click on followed by a short "All personnel proceed to the main hall for a mandatory meeting. I repeat, all personnel proceed to the main hall for a mandatory meeting" before clicking off.
Main Hall
As people flow into the main hall the factory itself goes quiet. Standing upon the large staircase Kanan and Kali are found."Hello everyone it is I Kali, and my brother Kanan. I know it is unusual for us to gather all of you, but it is for a rather important reason. You all may have noticed the unusual aura surrounding the factory lately. This is no coincidence, a machine housing a special element is malfunctioning and we need everyones help to repair it and keep the factory running."
Some workers mumble to each other confused.
"Some of you seem confused but rest assured we have a task for each of you."
Stage 1
"As I mentioned earlier each class will have a specific task, the...ROGUE CLASS...
We need all Mafi-archs and Reapers to take the task of eliminating any extra "filth" that has concocted itself during these past few weeks.
Snatchers have always been a problem amongst us, however it seems that they are starting to further adapt and evolve, taking hosts as their livelihood. If you are not careful when coming across these advanced creatures you may be drawn into darkness.
QUALITY CLASS...
It is apparent that you keep a watchful eye on all confectioneries that are being created from today onwards until the factory is back in order. It seems we have some unwanted guests slipping into the mixtures and taking form of our wonderful confectionaries. Those who have wrongfully devoured these creations have been reported to lose themselves under the influence of the snatcher.
DESIGN CLASS...
Concoctionists, you will not continue out your usual job of creating sweets at this time. We specifically need you to concoct a recipe that is nearly indestructible once applied. We leave this up to your expertise.
We need techies to work directly with us to not only create new blueprints for this malfunctioning machinery, but to build and repair any damaged sections of the factory.
EXPLORER CLASS
I know you are all excited to stretch your wings and venture away from the factory, so not only will you be delivering sweets, but in between deliveries you will be working directly with the special class hauling materials they have found back to the factory.
SPECIAL CLASS
Cages, we will simply need you to collect parts for the machine."
He hands them all a list complete with the desired items that reads:
5 pure gold cog wheels
3 silver bolts
2 large indestructible door locks
4 large metal hoses
3 medium sized hoses
1 belt
As many ball bearings as you can find
1 large chamber to house the element mentioned earlier.
"Please all work together to gather these items with haste. If there are any questions please direct your questions accordingly."
