Okay. You've made enough friends - Now, it's time to commit amoral acts at an affordable cost.
"Vincent, I think you have something to say to her."
Vincent steps closer to the panel without any care if the thing shoots at him or not - The PARADIGM armor he has is pretty sturdy. "Yeah, okay, what's actually going on here?"
<span class="mu-s">"STEP BACK OR I WILL SHOOT, NYA!"</span>
"you don't even have any catears-" Wendy rubs the bridge of her now. "emp it. now."
"What you're saying makes no sense. Why the hell would the spooks be mean to you?"
<span class="mu-s">"Eh?"</span> A cartoonish question mark appears above the AI's head. <span class="mu-s">"What do you mean? They're meanies!"</span>
"Unless someone else put you here, the spooks wouldn't design something THIS self-defeating."
<span class="mu-s">"Spooks?! We're the STILLE DAG you dummy!"</span>
Vincent clicks his tongue while mulling over what to say next. "E-Corp Emergency Access Code - The Brown Dog barks when the Moon soars."
>30!
The AI goes quiet for a moment. <span class="mu-s">"That code doesn't work anymore."</span>
"That code was only made a day ago. If it somehow didn't work, your creators made a faulty AI or you were illegally altered. We would have to scrap you on behalf of E-Corp-"
<span class="mu-s">"Fine! Fine! It was an emergency order by my owner! <span class="mu-b">I can't let any humans or anomalies out of that room</span> for the safety of the rest of the facility! Direct orders from the top! Only EXCISOR or PSYKER tier agents are allowed past!"</span>
<span class="mu-s">"This is a failsafe in case of the base being assaulted! We also can not trust any non-EXCISOR or PSYKER agents to leave or enter here due to two agents inside of the base being confirmed to be compromised double agents."</span>
Social, that's you, that means ZAYI and LAPIS (two agents you met on the last mission) are here. Okay, you need to spread that information QUICK to your other squads so they don't attack them.
"Thank you for your information. Frank?" <span class="mu-s">"WAIT HOLD ON-"</span>
Vincent violently shoves his back against the slot the gun is pointing out of. "This suit's strong but I dunno how much sustained firepower it can take!" Almost immediately the sound of gunfire blares throughout the hallway. Most of it seems to be deflected by Vincent's suit with ease.
<span class="mu-r">His suit of armor is starting to faintly glow from the sheer HEAT being imparted via the torrent of bullets...</span>
"Thanks for being a meatshield!" Frank snarks out. He rushes over to access the panel to the AI. The AI gibbers something at him but he's obviously not going to listen.
"Less talking! Deal with the-The weird thing!" Dasha keeps her gun trained on the panel as Frank does his work.
Frank digs into the many pouches and pockets on his person and, lo and behold, he has some old tools just for this task. He pries the panel open and begins to fiddle with the delicate electronics inside.
Sweat runs down his brow. "Fuck. This shit's new to me - Don't worry! I got it! I'm the REAL SHIT!"
"FASTER!" Vincent grunts. The stench of burning flesh is filling the air.
