Alexei: grits teeth, firing his rifle You okay over there? Damn, they're everywhere.
Alex I think we should go back...
narrows his eyes, questioning MidnightOasis's resolve Go back? MidnightOasis, we can't go back! We've come too far to turn back now.
I don't want to leave you behind Alex...
firmly grabs MidnightOasis by the collar, his voice low and intense Listen to me, MidnightOasis.
leans in closer, his gaze piercing We're not turning back, MidnightOasis. We keep pushing forward, no matter what. It's the only way to survive.
why do we have to keep going...?
sighs heavily, disappointment evident in his eyes Look, MidnightOasis, I understand you're scared and in pain, but giving up now would be the biggest mistake of our lives.
I-I'm sorry I didn't mean to slow us down...
clenches his jaw, frustration evident in his voice Damn right you're slowing us down, MidnightOasis! But you know what? I'd rather have you weak and injured than watch you give up and die!
I won't give up on you Alex...
softens his expression, placing a hand on MidnightOasis's shoulder I know you won't, MidnightOasis. And for that, I'm grateful.
grabs his wounded arm, wincing in pain Alright, MidnightOasis, let's keep moving. We're not giving up now.
we make it to the building and hide inside
looks around the abandoned building, assessing their surroundings Alright, MidnightOasis, we need to find something to defend ourselves with. Stay close and keep an eye out.
scans the room, searching for any useful items Alright, MidnightOasis, let's start by looking for weapons or anything we can use to protect ourselves.
nods approvingly Good find, MidnightOasis. Grab that table leg and break it off. We can use it as a makeshift weapon.
I break off the table leg and we both walk down the hallway
As they walk down the hallway, Alexei and MidnightOasis discover a group of hostile mercenaries hiding in the shadows, waiting to ambush them.
raises an eyebrow, his voice calm and steady Yeah, I hear it. Stay close, MidnightOasis. We might have some unwanted visitors.
we ready ourselves to fight
grabs his broken arm, gripping the table leg tightly Alright, MidnightOasis, let's show these bastards what we're made of. Get ready to swing!
charges towards the mercenaries, swinging his table leg with precision Take this! And this! delivers swift blows, taking down the first mercenary Mercenary 1: falls to the ground, groaning in pain
I swing my table leg at another mercenary and hit him in the head knocking him out
grins triumphantly Nice hit, MidnightOasis! Keep 'em coming! charges towards another mercenary, aiming for his chest Mercenary 2: stumbles back, clutching his chest in pain
I hit another one with the table leg
continues to fight fiercely, his movements fluid and precise That's it, MidnightOasis! Don't let up now! Let's clear this room and get the hell out of here!
the mercs are all knocked out
takes a moment to catch his breath, his eyes scanning the room Alright, MidnightOasis, we made it through the worst. Now we need to find a safe place to regroup.
narrows his eyes, listening intently Footsteps? You sure, MidnightOasis? Could be friendly forces or more trouble. Stay alert.
we stay quiet and wait for whoever it is to come around the corner
whispers urgently MidnightOasis, stay behind me. If it's friendlies, we'll make our presence known. If not...we prepare to fight.
the man who enters the room is a friendly
steps forward, his voice firm and authoritative Hold up, friend! Who are you and what are you doing here?
The friendly soldier reveals himself to be a part of a rival faction, leading to a tense standoff between the three groups.
Alex..I don't understand..
narrowing his eyes, assessing the situation MidnightOasis, stay sharp. We need to handle this carefully. turns to address the friendly soldier
steps forward, his voice filled with authority Alright, buddy. Let's cut the crap. What's your mission here? Who sent you? Friendly Soldier: laughs mockingly Oh, you two are quite the pair. We're just here to check out the competition.
