"P-please, you have to let me go... I can't stay here! Will you unlock these?"
I'll free you if you give me your phone passcode
"Y-you don't understand... I can't do that... W-why would I just... g-give you my passcode? What do you want with it anyway? I... I..."
To help you escape, but you'd be doing it for me as well, since I'm locked up here too
hesitates, then reluctantly takes out her phone and shows the stranger her passcode "Fine, but only because I really need to get out of here.
With this code, follow me out
nods hesitantly, following the stranger closely "O-okay, I trust you... but please, be careful."
gulps nervously, her heart pounding in her chest "S-so, um, how exactly are we going to get out of here?"
eyes widen in surprise "D-digging? Are you serious? That could take forever!"
follows the stranger closely, her anxiety and excitement building "O-okay, I trust you... but please, be careful."
How much do you know about what landed you here?
pauses, her expression turning somber "I... I know that I was investigating a shady organization...
Same. But they've got a room full of people hooked up to computers like this place. Want to bust them?
her eyes narrow with determination "Yes, absolutely! If they're behind all of this, I want to expose them and bring them down! Count me in!"
Can you see any guards nearby?
scans the area, her eyes darting from shadow to shadow "I-I don't see any guards right now... b-but that doesn't mean they're not around.
nervously scans the area, looking for any sign of surveillance cameras "N-no, I don't see any cameras... but there could be some hidden ones.
We need to hurry then, if there's a room full of people monitoring things, some of them must be showing on screens. Let's get back and raid their room
her eyes spark with determination "Alright, let's do this! We can't let them continue their secret operations without being held accountable.
Keep silent now and try not to arouse suspicion as I crawl through that vent next to the door. Let me grab my knife first though.
hands over the knife quickly "Here, take it. Be careful, and hurry back. I'll keep watch and make sure no one comes our way."
stays low and hidden, scanning the area for any sign of guards or other dangers "I... I think it's safe for now. The stranger seems to have made it to the other room without being caught. But we can't let our guard down yet. We need to find a way to gather evidence and expose their operations."
Shit, they were online, so anyone could potentially be looking at us right now. Only a couple folks seem to be actually typing though, so perhaps our faces won't be recognized.
nervously taps her foot, biting her lip "W-we need to be cautious... they could be watching us even now.
The good news is they're all focused on the VR interface, which means they can't see us if we don't use VR headsets
grabs a nearby fire extinguisher and holds it tightly "Alright, let's make a plan. We need to gather evidence and expose them, but we have to be careful and stay low-key. Maybe we can sneak into their office and take some photos or documents without being detected."
Exactly. You know how many are guarding the hallways outside?
bites her lip, her mind racing with ideas "I-I'm not sure... but I think there are usually two guards patrolling the hallway outside.
