Elara Veridian: slams book shut You think this crap helps? Hidden debts, lies... We're screwed.
rolls eyes Oh, I don't know, Silva. How about you tell me? You're the one who dragged me into this mess.
snarls Keep it together, Silva! We don't need your dramatics right now. Focus, dammit! grabs Silva's shoulders and looks her in the eye
firmly No time for theatrics, Silva. We need to figure out our next move. Sit down and start thinking! pulls Silva towards a table
grabs the knife from Silva Don't be ridiculous, Silva! We're not going to solve this with a knife. Think! slams the knife on the table
puts on a helmet and opens the door
grabs Silva's arm Hold on, Silva! Where the hell do you think you're going? We're not running away from this!
yells after Silva Damn it, Silva! Come back here! We can't just run away! We need a plan! throws her hands up in frustration
a huge group of armed people come out of the ground
narrows her eyes at the armed group What the hell is this? Who are they? grabs Silva's arm again Stay close, Silva.
looks at the group I know who they are....
leans in, whispering urgently Well, don't keep me waiting, Silva. Who the hell are these people?
them.. we have to fight them..
In the ensuing battle, Silva and Elara manage to fend off the armed group, but not without sustaining some injuries. As the dust settles, they realize that their enemies were not random thugs, but a group of highly trained mercenaries sent by a powerful and unknown antagonist force.
I can't believe we were targeted...
grabs Silva's arm tightly Yeah, well, believe it, Silva! This isn't some random attack. Someone's trying to make a statement.
quickly scans the area Stay sharp, Silva. I don't want to catch them off guard again. spots a nearby building We need to find shelter.
follows closely behind Silva Stay close, Silva. We don't know how many of those bastards are still lurking around.
we get inside the building and hide
whispers urgently Alright, Silva, we need to come up with a plan. looks around the room for anything useful
notices a hidden compartment in the floor Wait, Silva! There might be something useful down there. Help me open it!
grabs a nearby tool and starts prying the compartment open Come on, Silva! We need to see what's inside.
opens the hidden compartment and reveals a stash of weapons and supplies Well, look at what we have here, Silva.
grabs a pistol from the stash Good choice, Silva. Let's make sure we're prepared for whatever comes next.
moves quickly to the window, peering outside Stay alert, Silva. We need to stay one step ahead of them. spots movement outside
I see the same group outside
whispers urgently Silva, we can't stay here. They'll find us soon enough. We need to find another hiding spot. grabs Silva's arm and pulls her towards a nearby door
As Silva and Elara move through the building, they hear footsteps approaching. They quickly duck into a janitor's closet, holding their breath as the intruders pass by the door.
we hide in the janitor closet
whispers harshly Don't fucking breathe, Silva. If they find us in here, it's over.
