OPERATION: TRANSFER

TERMINATION

ACT 3 - TERMINATION
Prosperity, Blackwood, SK

To our dear employees

It has not even been a DAY and we've had another accident. This time, though, it has not been resolved yet.

I'll keep it brief; Batch 47's 04 is alive and attacking our fellow members. Well, that's what I was told. Even if this is a hoax, there is still a potential threat somewhere. We will have to utilize some of the past corpses as security, operatives, or just any kind of offensive rank. Especially Renfield.

Whatever it takes to get them to kick back, we just need them, stat.

Operation: Termination is a go. Do not disappoint me.

For Prosperity
Noel

Holloway bolts down a hallway, the threat of death right behind them as operatives chase them down. Gunshots are fired, so many that they nearly hit them multiple times. In a swift turn, Holloway runs inside a locker room, shutting and locking the door as they do.

They hold their breath as the operatives start running past, one of whom hits the door, making Holloway's heart stop for a moment. After a while, though, the running stops. They gather their bearings, taking deep breaths.

They turn on the lights, revealing the room they've landed themselves in—a locker room with beige walls and white, glazed tiles. Most of the lockers are filled with blue robes, and the benches have masks on top of them all.

Holloway moves some of the masks off the bench before taking a seat. They still need to cool off, and while this isn't the best place to do it, it's not as if anywhere else is better. Another day, another moment to reflect.

It's been, what, a day? Maybe two? Yet it feels like they've been here for longer. Maybe it's just that recent events have been... too much. Getting kidnapped, getting into an argument, getting shot, getting revived...

...losing Rue...

They still can't wrap their head around what they did. They basically killed their girlfriend. Now she's gone. She's fucking gone, and they're at fault... They won't get to see her again. And they did it to themselves.

They wonder if she could have been revived like they were... I mean, she probably could, but why didn't she? Were they just... not be able to? Come to think of it, would they even have been able to save her?

Maybe destroying that television saved her.

It's not like that was her body that they axed, though it definitely felt like it... that scream, man. That fucking scream... It still technically wasn't her body... she didn't feel it, did she? Maybe Holloway just... freed her.

It still hurts to live in a world without their girlfriend, and how quickly she was taken—for god's sake, she was just 15—but at least she's in peace, not stuck in a television... well, hopefully she's at peace.

Holloway snaps out of their sulking at the sound of cultists passing by. They locked the door, sure, and nobody really knows they're there, but it's better to be safe than sorry. They open a locker and put on the employee's attire.
