The cold wind blows in your face, stinging your eyes. You have to get out of this place. Long sterile white corridors blind you as you duck and dash, trying to avoid the watchful gaze of the thickly armoured guards. Strong steel doors line your vision, numbered. Screams emit from some rooms, the run of drills from others. Glowing fluorescent lights sting your eyes, so toned to the dark. Workers, pushing along white steel boxes, locked with blue light. Dodging the cold, glass stare of security cameras, a thick metal double door lies at the end: the way out. You hide in a small dark storeroom with a thick window, waiting for a chance, looking for something useful. Guards marching with plastic cards, thick white and blue mechanical armour, holding long charged railguns, their intimidating gas masked faces watching. You shudder as you hear a familiar voice behind you.
"Right you two, put your hands up."
"Why won't you leave us alone?"
"We need a final answer from you. Give this cult up, or you will have a week left to live, and we will conduct more tests on those weaklings."
"Weaklings..?"
"Test subjects darling. Now answer my question."
"Y/N, maybe we should just give up now. There's no way out and we don't want people to suffer more."
"We're not giving up!"
"Right then. Take your last week to say goodbye."
Jiayi smirks and leaves. While walking back, you notice a flyer where they stood.
You pick up the flyer and begin to read.
Joe Smither's Lab Equipment
"Huh. Wonder what this is for."
"Look closer Y/N. Maybe they have something to do with this factory?"
You flip the flyer and see scrawny handwriting.
"Phoebe! I've got it! This factory is the supplier for the Obleus. Now, we just got to stop the supplies so we can make sure no one suffers more."
"Good idea but, where and how are we going to stop the supply chain, and worse, in less than a week?"
"Simple. Little bit o' arson, little bit o' blowy uppy."
"Mmm... alright then. We might need a lot of help with this."
"We can just simply get people from our team to help?"
"Yeah alright."
