Lemon thinks on that a moment. "Mm, we have fried lotus root on offer as a dish for patrons, but only Umeko-sama ever orders it. And even then, he's usually too busy with whichever plaything he's brought with him..."
Lemon blushes, realising he's just disparaged someone of much higher rank.

Shinwa goes over to the touch screen where Nanashi is about to enter the code. "I know it....the kanji is..." He moves his finger as if to enter the code himself, then pulls back as if it were a hot stove. "I better not. Here." He pulls out one of his ever-present pieces of writing plastic from a pocket in his duster, and his ever-inked brush. On it, he carefully sketches out one of the specific kanji for Katsu. "I can explain later," he says as he hands the plastic to Nanashi. "Enter it just like that."
Turning away, he pops open a panel on the wall, peering up into the opening. There is a three story communication array above the panel. "That's more like it. I wonder if that trap door is at the top?"

Nanashi inputs the kanji as shown. And try’s to shoo away Shinwa before he turns the system into a blinder.

Shinwa staggers back from the transmitter array, his face pale and one hand grabbing at his temple. But before anyone can even notice him, he waves them away. "Hurry...go, go..." He pulls back further and takes a deep, meditative breath before straightening. "We don't have much time...."

Once standing, he performs a brief unarmed kata of some sort, as if to stretch himself out after whatever happened.

Nanashi keeps working. He try’s to download as much data as he can.
“The Garden” He says to no one in particular.

Shinwa swallows, and turns to Lemon. "Here's what's going to happen. When my friend gets done, we're going to enter this hatch, climb the transmission tower, and exit out the trapdoor in the roof. You are coming with us. My friend is going to get you to a safe place...we won't abandon you. If you can find some sort of cabling....cord whatever, that will help get you off the roof. But we will find a way to get you out of here. Do you understand?"

Lemon nods vigorously, not wanting to give the Ronin cause to decide he isn't worth saving and abandon him. He looks around in a slight panic, realises there is no detached cable in easy reach that definitely won't electrocute him, and so thinks quickly by removing his jacket and twisting it up, gripping with both hands.

Shinwa makes a final, impatient, search of the area, Perception/Investigation = 17 Roll Here in case there was something he missed, but has little hope. Computers are everything nowadays. He prowls by the door expectantly, hoping Nanashi gets what he needs. There's not much time left.

Nanashi records the IP address of The Garden. He then jacks out and puts his data pad back into his duster.
“Ok i have an address. It’s time to leave.” Nanashi pulls a pair of driving gloves from his pocket and puts them on.
“Shinwa, lead the way. I’ll cover the rear.”

The briefest flash of fear plays across Shinwa's face as he approaches the transmitter hatch again. "Try and see if you can close the panel behind us when we get through. Lemon, tie the end of that cloth to your obi and give the other end to Nanashi if you're feeling unsteady. He will protect you." A simple miniature flashlight....that seems to work...comes out of a pocket and he puts it in his mouth to help him see. He takes a deep breath as he lays his hand on the transmitter tower and crawls through the hatch.
(OOC: I am assuming that the tower /is/ climbable normally, since it would have to be for maintenance purposes, likely with a narrow ladder or rungs. I'm keeping an eye out for anything that I can use as a cable when we get to the top. Preferably a non-powered cable, but if there's something I can unplug that would be OK.)

(OOC: all good!) Lemon does as instructed regarding his obi and furled jacket, and begins to enter the hatch after Shinwa. Just as he ducks into it, Nanashi heats a ‘Fwoop!’ Followed immediately by a spark as a sharp metal star-disc embeds itself in the door of the hatch! It is unclear where it came from, as glancing around reveals nobody and nothing out of the ordinary. (OOC: Shinwa, you definitely heard that, even inside the hatch. I would like Athletics (climbing)/Agility rolls please. Nanashi, by all means expend some time with an Investigation (Notice)/Perception roll if you wish )

Shinwa is climbing in the dark as fast as he can to try to give room for Nanashi to follow, but the noise startles him! Luck certainly isn't with the ronin today... (OOC: Athletics/Agility = 13 Link Here At least I didn't get up very far?)
