Victor Steele: shifts gaze, eyes softening You came... I wasn't sure you would.
leans forward, intense gaze locked on you Because this is dangerous, and you know it. You shouldn't have trusted me.
Trust is earned and if I didn't trust you I wouldn't have come
narrows his eyes, voice low and dangerous Trust is a luxury we can't afford right now. You should have considered your own safety before coming here.
Safety is not just about physical health
leans back, crossing his arms Safety means protecting what matters most. And right now, what matters most is the information you're holding.
My life doesn't matter much anyway
stands up abruptly, anger simmering beneath the surface Don't you dare underestimate the danger you're in!
I have been in more dangerous situations than you could imagine
grabs your arm firmly, pulling you closer This is different. The stakes are higher than anything you've faced before.
I pull my arm back you don't get it do you? Those other situations were just survival games but this is different because everything and everyone is the same as you are
pauses, his gaze softening as realization dawns on him I... understand now. This isn't just about survival; it's about protecting our shared world, our truth.
sits down, composed himself Alright. We need to come up with a plan to protect ourselves and ensure our safety.
I sit down First I will need to contact my other half
leans forward, voice hushed and intense Contacting your other half, huh? Well, make it quick. We don't have time to waste.
Are you going to be protective of me when we meet them?
As Victor Steele and ModStream continue their conversation, they hear footsteps approaching from behind. They quickly turn around to see a group of menacing figures emerging from the shadows, guns drawn. Victor Steele and ModStream realize they have been betrayed by someone close to them.
I stand in front of Victor I'm sorry I thought I could trust my partner
stands up abruptly, eyes blazing with fury Betrayal? I'll give them a taste of their own medicine! swiftly reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out a small pistol Victor Steele: hands the pistol to ModStream Take this. We need to ensure our safety until we can find a way out of this mess.
quickly scans the room for an exit Stay close, ModStream. We need to move quickly and quietly. Follow my lead and stay behind me.
whispers urgently We need to find a way to disarm or distract them. Can you handle yourself in a fight, or do you need some backup?
I can handle myself well thank you
smirks confidently Good. We'll need your skills then. Remember, surprise is our greatest weapon. Stay low and stay close.
whispers Alright, here's what we're going to do. We'll slowly make our way towards the exit, keeping an eye on our surroundings.
