Follow Peppy and keep moving

πŸ“ Herta Space Station Storage Zone

Thanks to your help, Peppy is out of danger. You have decided to follow its lead and explore the area together...

Peppy
Woof woof? Woof woof woof!

Peppy indicates for you to touch somewhere on its backpack. You press a button...
System

You hear a faint electronic voice: The Synesthesia Beacon has been activated.
Peppy
Peppy
(Woof, can you hear me? Woof?)
Options
You're... talking!
Am I hearing things?
Peppy
Peppy
(Is that not normal?)
Peppy
Peppy
(Stop being stupid. Peppy is talking to you!)

After activating the beacon, you realize that this could be the "surprise" that Asta mentioned.
Peppy
Peppy
(Stop gawking!)
Options
So what are you doing here?
Asta is really worried about you...
Peppy
Peppy
(Brave Peppy is hot on the trail!)
Peppy
Peppy
(Peppy knows, and that's why Peppy is investigating hard, to reduce the burden on Miss Asta!)
Peppy
Peppy
(There's some problem with the signal β€” I can't contact Miss Asta.)
Peppy
Peppy
(I smelled something strange that had the lingering whiff of the Joy Filtration Set. I didn't want to tip anybody off, so I decided to stay guard here.)
Peppy
Peppy
(I'll lead the way. Let's go!)

Peppy
(The door is stuck... The entire area's access control system is down, woof?)
Options
Back up, I'll smash the door in.
We can't get in. What now?
System

You whip out a baseball bat and start flailing at the metal door with reckless abandon. The rebounding reverberations cause your whole body to go numb, but the door does not budge.

Peppy tilts its head in contemplation. You resist the desire to ruffle its fluffy head.
Peppy
Peppy
(Stop smashing it! This door is super heavy. If you smash it open, you'll be in serious trouble when it falls on you. Let's think of another way.)
Peppy
Peppy
(This height... I think we can get through, woof?)
Peppy
Peppy
(But {NICKNAME} is so tall. Won't you get stuck if you crouch? Better leave it to Peppy!)
Peppy
Peppy
(Now, {NICKNAME}, reach out and touch me. No, not my head! Look for a button on my back β€” do you see it?)
System

With Peppy's instructions, you find the button it is talking about and press down on it.

You hear an emotionless electronic voice: "Activate sync mode?"
Peppy

(You can connect to my thought signal with sync mode. We can communicate via the beacon. Give it a try.)
