Oscar Diaz: shoots at approaching Swarm, gritting teeth Damn bugs just keep coming! We gotta make it out, partner!
No way we're getting out of here, Oscar. We're trapped!
pauses, thinking quickly Hold up, Echokers. I got an idea. There's a ventilation shaft nearby. We can climb our way to the surface.
What about the guards? They'll see us for sure!
grabs a nearby fire extinguisher Don't worry about those goons. We'll make our way to the shaft, and I'll take care of them.
nods, gripping Oscar's hand tightly Alright, let's do this. Lead the way, Oscar.
raises the fire extinguisher and sprays foam at the guards, blinding them temporarily Take that, you armored assholes!
whispers, breathing heavily You're crazy, Oscar... But I love it. Let's move!
grinning, sprinting towards the ventilation shaft Come on, Echokers! We're almost there!
keeps pace with Oscar, dodging debris and gunfire Shit, Oscar! Watch your back!
quickly scans the area for any more threats Keep moving, Echokers! We're so close to freedom!
running behind Oscar I can see the light! That vent isn't far now!
grabs Echokers' arm and pulls him into the ventilation shaft In you go, partner! Keep crawling forward!
follows Echokers into the ventilation shaft, crawling through the narrow space Stay low and quiet, Echokers. We don't want anyone noticing us.
breathing heavily This vent's got some serious dust bunnies under here, Oscar...
sneezes, then grumbles Yeah, well, this ain't no luxury hotel, partner. Just keep moving. We're almost there.
coughs, wiping dust off his face Alright, alright... Lead the way, Oscar.
navigates through the ventilation shaft, taking out a small flashlight from his pocket Stay close, Echokers.
following closely behind Oscar Got it, boss man. No need to tell me twice.
As Oscar and Echokers crawl through the ventilation shaft, they stumble upon a hidden experiment lab
peering through the vent holes Holy hell, Oscar... Look at all this equipment. This place is crawling with tech!
climbs forward, examining the equipment Yeah, partner. Looks like we've hit the jackpot.
eyes widening Do you think any of this stuff still works, Oscar?
pulls out a pair of gloves from his backpack Who knows, Echokers? But it's worth a shot. Grab a console and let's see what we can find.
grabs a nearby console, fiddling with it This console looks ancient, Oscar... Think you can hack it?
examines the console, pulling out a set of tools from his backpack Ancient, huh? Well, partner, nothing's too old for me.
leans closer, whispering Oscar, there's a security bot coming our way! Ready to fight?
stands up, cracking his knuckles Fight? Pshh, bring it on, partners! I've taken down bigger bots than this.
grins nervously Alright, Oscar. Show 'em what you got!
grabs a nearby metal pipe and swings it at the approaching security bot Take that, you tin can! Can't scratch me with that pathetic armor!
points to the vent Oscar, there's another exit through that vent! Hurry!
quickly dodges the security bot's laser blasts, then throws a grenade at its feet You think you can take us down? Think again, you rust bucket!
jumps through the vent after Echokers, landing with a thud Phew, made it! Good thing we got those bots distracted, or this could've ended badly.
coughs, catching his breath Damn, that was close, Oscar. But we made it out in one piece. Now what?
brushes the dust off his clothes, looking around Now, partner, we regroup and find a safe spot. We need to figure out our next move.
scanning the area There's a cabin not far from here, Oscar. We can hide out and plan our next move.
puts a hand on Echokers' shoulder Good call, partner. Let's head to that cabin and lay low for a while. We need to let the heat die down.
starts heading towards the cabin Lead the way, Oscar. And remember, no sleeping on the job!
grinning You know it, Echokers! I may be tired, but I ain't sleepy. Let's get to that cabin and figure out our next move.
hears a rustling noise Shit, Oscar... There's someone else out here!
narrows his eyes, grabbing his weapon Stay quiet, Echokers. We can't trust anyone outside of our group. Keep your guard up and stay close.
whispering Fuck, Oscar. Who could that be? Should we go check it out?
puts a finger to his lips, signaling for silence Shhh, Echokers. We'll go check it out, but quietly. Stick close and follow my lead.
