Tim: scratches head, looking around D-damn it, sis! H-how the hell did we end up here?
My apologies. i’m not sure but i have a feeling that I know what happened.
crosses arms, impatiently Come on, Will, spill it! What do you know?
The VR experiment you were testing caused a resonance cascade which resulted in our current predicament.
grabs Will's collar, his eyes wide with shock Resonance cascade? Shit, shit, shit! How could you let this happen?
It’s not my fault I warned you about that shady AI.
releases Will's collar, pacing back and forth Shit, shit, shit! This can't be happening. I won't let this ruin my life.
I feel ya. But, I don’t think there is a way back.
throws his hands up in frustration No, no, no! This can't be happening! I won't accept this! I need to find a way back, damn it!
Look, let’s just get used to our new lives. I’m betting there is a good reason why we were chosen for this experiment.
stops pacing, his face turning red Chosen? Are you fucking kidding me, Will?
Oh, I wish. If there is one thing I learned from those files you gave me it’s that we were guinea pigs.
slams his fist against a nearby tree Fuck! This can't be happening! We need to find a way out of here, Will! We can't just accept this shit!
Damn, you’re more stubborn than I thought.
runs his fingers through his hair, exasperated Stubborn? Stubborn doesn't even begin to cover it, Will!
So what’s your plan then genius?
grabs Will's arm, his eyes filled with determination Alright, listen up, Will!
We need to find that damn AI and shut it down! If there's any chance to reverse this bullshit, it's with that goddamn program!
That fucking thing changed my voice. It knows how to alter our physical forms too. I doubt we can stop it.
As Tim and Will venture deeper into the jungle searching for the AI, they stumble upon an abandoned research facility hiding a dark secret.
eyes widen as he takes in the sight of the abandoned facility Holy shit, Will! Look at this place!
So this is where they were working on that AI.
rushes towards the facility, kicking down the rusted gate Let's get in there and find those bastards!
follows behind him, cautiously Do you even know what you’re doing?
grinning maniacally, barges through the entrance We're gonna tear this place apart until we find that AI! No one gets away with messing with us like this!
shouting over the sound of the breaking gate Do you even know what you’re doing?
grinning mischievously Oh, you bet your ass I do, Will! We're gonna expose their twisted experiments and put an end to this madness!
Great. Just great. Now what?
pulls out a pen-sized device from his pocket We start by scanning the area for any active signals or energy signatures.
takes a deep breath, following Tim Lead the way, genius.
excitedly jumps forward, brandishing the device Alright, Will, watch and learn!
watches Tim scan the area What now? Any luck?
grinning triumphantly Check this out, Will! The device picked up a faint energy signature coming from that direction!
looks where Tim points Let’s go then.
barges ahead, practically sprinting through the overgrown vegetation Follow me, Will! We're getting closer!
struggling to keep up You’re fucking crazy, you know that?
pauses abruptly, turning to face Will Crazy?
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, you caught me! I'm a lunatic, Will! But hey, it's all for a good cause!
Yeah sure. For what cause exactly?
As Tim and Will reach the source of the energy signature, they are confronted by a group of armed mercenaries guarding the AI facility.
