Virtuality (Data Facility)

"A brave new digital world where reality is virtual and fact is fiction - all ruled by a fatally glitched set of protocols." - Flavor Text

Intro

The Data Facility is one of Gunvolt's exclusive stages in Azure Striker Gunvolt 2. Originally a Sumeragi datastore, this facility has been captured by Teseo, who treats it and the information within as his own playground.

Briefing

Virtuality

Xiao:  I need you to look into an old Sumeragi facility. Eden took it over and digitized it somehow.

Gunvolt:  Wait. They digitized a building?

Xiao:  Well, it's a bit hard to tell. But it's weird, whatever it is. There's a lot of risk here. Can we count on your help?

Gunvolt:  Yeah, of course. I'll head out right away.

Ultimatum 4 (Copen)

Mytyl:  Welcome to the Secret Mission! Okay, so I kinda need to apologize in advance, but... I can't use The Muse's song to bring you back here.

Stage Composition

• Teseo's done some pretty weird things to this facility, which translate into stage gimmicks, including;
  • Connected pits that let you fall endlessly a la infinite portal loop.
  • Red platforms that disappear upon Flashfield exposure.
  • Blue platforms that only appear when exposed to the Flashfield.
  • Magnetic platforms that move when zapped.
• Teseo can spawn Curse Scripts, which look like Lumen. If they touch Gunvolt, they gradually drain his health. They can be "destroyed" with a touch of the Flashfield, but they come back a few seconds later.
• There is a secret alcove containing a hidden skill amongst the mag platforms.
• Teseo has hacked your comms. Prepare for trolling.
