Alex: "What worked?! And who the fuck are you?!"

?: "My name is Animus. It is a pleasure to meet you Alex."

Alex: "Yeah, same or whatever, what are you doing in here?"

Animus: "You're not very smart are you?"

Animus: "One doesn't simply just send an officer through another room with a single punch do they?"

Alex: "You did this to me?! WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE?!"

Animus: "Relax kid. If anything, I merely enhanced your capabilities as a human."

Alex: "And how the hell did you do that?!"

Animus:
"𝗕𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂."

Alex: "Another me?"

Animus: "Cloning. It is very illegal as I'm sure you're aware but I managed to put it into my own hands."

Alex: "Don't you dare tell me I'm a clone!"

Animus: "No friend, your clone left here a couple of hours ago."

Alex: "WHAT?!"

Animus: "Yes, I call them Siders."

Alex: "Jesus Christ, you're fucking telling me there's another me out there doing whatever the fuck he wants?!"

Animus: "Precisely. Now, allow me to explain how Siders work."

Animus: "They leave your body whenever they please and do whatever they want. They don't follow direct orders from the host unless they find him or her appealing. And, when they DO return to your body, it enhances your capabilities as a human being. Merely, EVOLVING who you are..."

Alex: "That's a whole lotta bullshit, for all I know you could've just drugged me or some shit. I AIN'T BUYING IT!"

Alex: "NURSE! NURSE! NURS-..."

Alex: *gulp* "o-okay..."

Animus: "I didn't wanna do it like this but I ain't putting any sense in you it seems so..."

Animus: "You're a part of my game now, a part of my project; my life long dream and work."

Animus: "When you get out of here you better find your Sider."

Animus: "Oh, and if I were you, I wouldn't let him take damage or any injury at all times..."

Alex: "Why?"

Animus: "He can't die independently, however, with enough damage to kill a normal human being he will retreat to your body and you will die."

Alex: "You son of a-..."

Animus: *cocks gun* "Ah, ah, ahhhh, don't you disrespect me now."

Animus: "I'll see you soon."
