2024-03-06 - Terminal Two Holding Cells - Completed
The rescue party follows Mav into the holding cells, where many pokémon in various states of Shadow corruption are held captive. Two missing Blaguarro citizens are here as well, but are acting as guards for Cipher. Further in, amongst prisoners who are even deeper into the Shadow testing process, the group finds a "Subject 341" in special containment: a fully-shadowed midday lycanroc named Leona Lycas.

* One-Eyed Joe seems to be relishing his opportunity to work with Cipher (and the other Blaguarrans don't seem especially surprised), but Reno has been forced into this against his will.
* The keys to the cells are pilfered from Reno and used to free the prisoners, starting with the most lucid. Mav is good friends with Reno and doesn't appreciate the Wayfarers locking him in a cell or Leaf trying to argue with him, but does eventually calm Reno down and help uncage the rest.
* Leona comes from yet another world, but it's one where she actually managed to defeat Cipher. Her memory is shaky due to the shadowification process, but she remembers spending time with her espeon (Marin), umbreon (Mistral) and girlfriend (Rui) before suddenly ending up in a strange place as a dog, trapped by Cipher members who'd become pokémon themselves.
* As a fully-shadowed pokémon, Leona is less stable than even the half-shadowed Seth seems to be. She's on edge and nearly attacks the group when they free her, but she is able to be calmed and reasoned with.
* The group also discovers a series of documents in Leona's room, though the power outage caused by the team fighting the admins makes it too dark to read them for now.
