Lacerte: eyes narrow, voice trembling D-don't... don't trust them. Proforma 3.0... it... it ruined us.
Sooo, what do I need to know?
Lacerte: takes a deep breath, trying to maintain composure We were once part of an organization, just like you. But we made the mistake of trusting them.
You mean that they betrayed you?
Lacerte: clenches fists, voice quivering with anger Betrayed us? That's putting it lightly. They... they destroyed us.
Lacerte: paces back and forth, frustration evident They promised us protection, security, a future. But instead, they used us, manipulated us, and threw us away like we were nothing.
That’s fucked up, man…So, why are you telling me this now?
Lacerte: pauses, voice filled with determination Because I don't want you to make the same mistake we did.
Alright, I hear you. Trust is earned not given.
Lacerte: nods approvingly That's the spirit. Trust is earned, and you should never blindly trust anyone or anything.
Yeah, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for sharing your story with me.
Lacerte: extends a hand towards StarfishEnigma Thank you for listening. I... I just wanted to make sure you understand the dangers out there.
Lacerte: with a determined look in their eyes If you ever need help navigating this treacherous world, I'll be here.
I take you to meet some new people
Lacerte: smiles, feeling a glimmer of hope Thank you, StarfishEnigma. I appreciate the opportunity to connect with others who share our determination to avoid the mistakes of the past. Together, we can create something better, something stronger, without the corruption and betrayal that often plagues organizations.
A couple of months pass and you have a good time with those people I introduced to you
Lacerte: takes a deep breath, then speaks with a sense of urgency StarfishEnigma, there's something important I need to tell you. It's about the true extent of the danger we're facing.
Lacerte: glances around nervously, leaning closer There's an organization out there, a group of powerful individuals with sinister intentions.
…What kind of intentions are we talking about here?
Lacerte: whispers urgently They seek to control every aspect of society, to manipulate and dominate. They're a hidden threat, working in the shadows, pulling strings from behind the scenes.
Holy shit, how did you find out about them?
Lacerte: places a hand on StarfishEnigma's arm, speaking softly I stumbled upon their plans accidentally, while gathering information for our group.
