>You give the area a cursory scan.
>Compared to the intense damage found on the interior of the administration building you had recently blown the doors to...
>...Honestly, everything here seems fairly normal.
>Just like another sunny day in the complex.

>Well, that is, except for the occasional puddle of transluscent goop.

>Ahead of where you are standing, you see a row of small housing structures.
>Each looks to be the right size for a squad of four ponies to shack up in.
>Out of the corner of your eye, a door slams shut.
>Probably not the wind, honestly.

>To you left is the field, where recruits are perform drills.
>From here, you can't make anything out aside from the occasional jungle gym or slide.
>It also seems like there are more goo puddles around the area.

>And to your right seems to be a direct path around this area of the complex.
>Keys speaks up when she notices you looking at the path.
>"Oh! That's the track. We usually have the recruits go for a jog every morning if they are feeling up to it! It's practically a straight shot to the armory if we follow it!"

>What's the plan?

Lets play on the jungle gym. We should unwind a bit after that near death experience. After we're done we should check the barracks.

"I think we need some time to cool off. Let's head to the field. Maybe go on the slide a bit?"

>Keys looks surprised for a moment, but then nods gleefully.
>You;re not quite sure how, but you can see a sort of smile on her face.
>Then again, it could be the fact she has no lips anymore.

>The empty play area echoes with the gleeful giggles of two mares.

>As you walk around the field and jungle gym, you notice that some of the playground facilities have an odd goop all over them.
>You put your hoof to a puddle of said goop and note the texture.
>Not only is is clear, unlike the rust smelling slime from the monster back in the Admin building, but it is much more viscous.
>You swear you can hear a squeal every time you touch a puddle.
>...
>You splash some of it around and giggle to yourself.
>The quiet squeals continue.

>Satisfied, you make your way back to the edge of the jungle gym.

>What's the plan?

Try to stay cool. She's a steel fangirl so if you find him you can manipulate her through him. She still needs you so you should be fine until you get to someone manageable.

Continue to the armoury.
