The Obelus

-11- First Mission

"I need you to find out more about the Obelus founder. Here is a list of all the spies we have in the Obelus right now. Call them, and they will ask 'who are you'. You must say you are here to give a free Vivun Oculi Generation 4. It has to be exactly that. Then you will deliver the package without anyone seeing you. After delivering the package, you must sneak in to find out more. You must not be seen by anyone. Got it?"

The thought of having to go back to the facility just after narrowly making it out a second time made you feel uneasy but you accept.

"Alright."

You, June and Finn set off to complete the task.

"So, what are we going to do first?"

"We gotta call them and tell them they're going to get a free Oculi."

"Alright, shall we do that? I have my phone right here. We can call them now."

Finn dials the facility and they soon pick up.

"Hello, this is Obelus branch No.3. What do you need?"

"We would like to send your facility a package of Vivun Oculi."

"Alright. You come in from the back door, drop it off and leave ok?"

"Alright. See you soon."

You, June and Finn add petrol to the car and then start it up. June starts driving again until you hear the faint sound of Mini calling your name.

"Y/N, Y/N, be careful..."

You ignore it, thinking it must be a hallucination. You and June get ready to climb the cliff while Finn waits at the bottom of the cliff.

After you get on top of the cliff, you put the box down. As you turn to leave, you hear the faint voice of two people talking.

"But it isn't safe! Gen is your daughter. You can't test on her anymore!"

"As if you don't work here and torture her!"

"Every colleague of mine treats the subjects like shit, you can't pick on me!"

"I don't care. As one of the heads of the Obelus, I cannot spare my daughter. Also, If we don't put enough sedatives in her, she might still remember our weakness. Imagine if she goes and tells others!"

"Alright, ma'am. But don't say I didn't warn you."

You and June quickly parachute off the cliff. You join Finn outside the car.

"June, Finn, did you hear that? Gen knows a big secret about the Obelus... We need to go save Gen!"

"Aww, Y/N, you treat Gen so well! Why can't you be the same towards me?"

"Finn... what?"

"Uhm- nevermind!"

You, June and Finn drive back to Phoebe who is waiting for you. You tell Phoebe the news and she sets you the task of helping Gen escape. She gets two other members to help you with your mission.

"Y/N, this is Valerie and Ember here with you today. They will be your companions for this mission."

You and the rest walk out of the building looking at the map from Phoebe. The map leads to the Obelus branch, and without it, navigation would be extremely difficult since there is sand blowing everywhere in the desert.

You and the group start walking towards the car until a feral dog snatches the map and eats it. Before June can kill it, it runs off into the distance.

"Great, our map is gone. How are we going to get to the facility like this?"

"Let's just start driving. I think it was in this direction..."

Everyone gets into the car and June starts driving off. You have a feeling that you are going in the wrong direction, and after a long way, June stops. You know June's gone the wrong way, and you and your group of 5 are stuck in the middle of a desert, with nowhere to go.

"Great, now we're stuck here. We don't have enough food for a day, and eighteen small boxes of ammo."

Ember grumbles.

"It might rain tonight as well, we can stay in the car to stay somewhat dry."

Ember and Valerie decide to camp at the back of the van, while you sleep with June at the front. At one point you decide to go to the back as well but you see that Ember and Val are sleeping already, so you decide not to disturb them.

You and the group decide you have nothing to do, but to wait for daytime. You watch everyone doze off and slowly but surely, you doze off too.
