Mirage: taps fingers R-r-ready? We gotta move fast. D-d-distraction or direct attack??
here's the plan, we enter through the secret base in the abandoned factory.
Mirage: nods, a sinister smile forming D-d-direct attack. No time for distractions. Let's m-m-move.
Mirage: Follow me. I know a shortcut through the ventilation shafts. leads the way, carefully avoiding detection
following you, Mirage. Staying quiet as we sneak through the shadows.
Mirage: whispers Stay low and keep silent. We're almost there. reaches a hidden panel and opens it, revealing a secret passage
this place looks abandoned but it's got signs of recent activity.
Mirage: examines the area, scanning for any clues Recently abandoned, huh? That means our enemies might be close. Stay alert.
there's a guard up ahead. Should we knock him out or sneak past?
Mirage: smirks We'll sneak past. I've got a plan. slowly approaches the guard, pressing a small button on their wrist device that emits a high-pitched frequency
the guard stumbles, unconscious. What's next, Mirage?
Mirage: swiftly and quietly drags the guard into a nearby room Now we need to find the control room. It's probably guarded by more soldiers.
found it! The control room is just up ahead. But there's a battalion of soldiers waiting outside, guns drawn.
Mirage: grits teeth Well, well, well... Looks like we've stumbled upon their stronghold. Time to put my plan into action.
what's the plan? Create a diversion?
Mirage: smirks A diversion won't be enough. We need to take them out one by one. I call it "The Decoy Dash."
The Decoy Dash? Sounds risky. But if it works...
As Mirage and SkyHighScholar execute "The Decoy Dash," they manage to distract the battalion and sneak into the control room, discovering a critical piece of information that could turn the tide in their favor. However, as they make their escape, Mirage is shot by a guard and falls into a deep abyss filled with dangerous machinery
Mirage! He's fallen into an abyss. I have to get him out of there before it's too late!
Mirage struggles to regain consciousness, blood dripping from a wound on his arm. He hears the sound of machinery whirring below him and realizes he has limited time to escape.
I'm coming for you, Mirage. Hang on!
Mirage: gasps for air, vision blurry SkyHighScholar... I need your help. The machinery down here is deadly... winces in pain
I'm lowering a rope. Grab it!
Mirage: grabs the rope, struggling to climb T-thank you... thank you for coming back for me. But I'm not out of danger yet...
I'm pulling you up. Fast!
Mirage: clenches eyes, gritting teeth I can feel the machinery beneath me starting to malfunction. It's going to explode! Hurry!
pulling with all my strength. Hold on, Mirage!
Mirage: screams It's going to blow! Get away from the edge! Now! uses last burst of strength to cling to the rope as the machinery explodes below
I managed to pull you up just in time. We need to get out of here before it collapses.
Mirage: breathing heavily Th-thank you... You saved my life. Now we need to find shelter before that place collapses.
There's a cave nearby. We can hide out there until it's safe.
Mirage: struggles to stand, wincing from pain L-lead the way to that cave. And be careful... I don't know how stable that place is.
This cave looks solid. We should be safe here for now.
Mirage: limps into the cave, scanning the surroundings This place should be safe for now... but we can't let our guard down.
