You leave the building and walked into the building where the sniper was.

Visual calculus: go to the fourth floor.

You walked up to the fourth floor.

You: where was this sniper?

Inland empire: go through that door.

You: why?

Inland empire: just trust me.

You open the door.

Perception: the room was empty and clean. The only sign of someone here was a single bullet hole in the window. Look on the floor, there's a bullet casing.

You walk to the bullet and pick it up.

You: what gun is this from? And what bullet is this?

Encyclopedia: it's a 7.62 X 54R. It's a bullet commonly used by a mosin nagant.

You: who are you?

Encyclopedia: I am encyclopedia, I will give you information on the world if you need it.

You: ok, what's a mosin nagant?

Encyclopedia: it's a rifle made in Russia. It was made in 1891 and is used by the Russian army to this very day because of how effective it is.

You: I didn't need that much info but thank you.

Volition: this guy has a habit of over sharing.

You: our sniper uses a mosin nagant. So he's probably Russian.

You walk over to a nearby table and you find a note.

You: what language is that written in?

Encyclopedia: it's Apache.

You: a Russian Apache?

Visual calculus: can you read Apache?

You: if I could it was lost in that apartment.

You put the note in your jacket pocket

Inland empire: take the bullet just to be safe.

You walk over to the bullet and pick it up. You walk out of the room and start heading down the stairs.

Man:"hey, you're looking for that guy right."

You:"what?"

Man:"don't play stupid. I saw you go in the room. You looked like you were looking for something."

You:"I was. Do you know who went in?"

Man:" he was dressed head to toe in combat armor."

You:"what did this armor look like?"

Man:" it was riot armor."

You:"did you see his face?"

Man:"he was wearing a mask so I couldn't see his face. One other thing I remember was the relic of a rifle he had."

Visual calculus: relic of a rifle huh? That must be the mosin that our sniper has.

You:"thank you sir."

Man:"too many people die in this city. If you can catch one that's one more live saved."

Rhetoric: he must be an idealist.

You: what's wrong with being an idealist?

Rhetoric: all being an idealist is making false hope.

You: isn't hope a good thing?
