>W and M2 to Bond with Sunset. Tell the tale of a PAUPER KING who fights things mundane and unimaginable to defend his realm.
Employee W is flipping through the script she wrote (based on the report you got from F and Phi). She looks nervously at M2.
"You sure you can do this?" "Advertising is always my strong suit!" "Right."
The shadow looms over the containment cell. Watching.
Employee M2 and W enter through the airlock.
Employee W freezes in place while Employee M2 starts to step closer to the pillar.
W: Okay, okay, keep the script in mind.
W: Make sure the story is good.
Employee W collects her nerves and meets up with the simple-faced Drone.
M2: So! There was this great and glorious Adm- King! Who fought against all sorts of horrible beasts!
W: Just recently, he fought against a horrid beast of metal to protect this facility!
M2: It was so cool! Bang bang, boom boom! He had the power of a vengeful GOD, judging the creature!
M2: A once pauper king raised up to stop it dead in its tracks!
W: The battle was both long and short. The kingdom waited with bated breath. Channeling all of their energy into him...
W: His closest friends fought alongside him! Though they did not have the power of a God, they fought regardless!
M2: The beast of metal and chimes was promptly defeated by the skin of their teeth!
W: Alas! While his friends made it without much harm, he almost fell into the claws of death itself.
W: We all felt his anguish as he screamed and screamed! But he still lingers on.
M2: Determined to keep this facility safe! Quite a beautiful story, is it not?
M2: And for 9.9-
Employee W covers the simple-faced Drone's mouth.
W: He sacrificed his own wellbeing for his kingdom. A man that we should all emulate, no?
The two stand there, waiting to see how the anomaly reacts.
<span class="mu-i">Almost fell? Is it time for the kingdom to be reborn again?</span>
<span class="mu-i">He's still alive. Perhaps we shall let him linger for now.</span>
The shadow partially fades. Only a faint impression of darkness is left on the floor.
<span class="mu-i">War and violence never changes. No matter where or when you go.</span>
<span class="mu-i">Such a troubling story. What if it happened to us? Would we be destroyed too?</span>
M2: didwedoagoodjob
W: And that is our story for today! Thank you very much!
One of the lotuses opens up to <span class="mu-b">stare down at the two employees.</span>
The two stand there. Neither wanted to be the first one to move.
It closes its eye.
The two let out a sigh of relief. They quickly exit the containment cell.
Hm, you expected a more positive reaction from such a recent story. The shadow lingering but weakening is new. You'll see what they wrote in the notes before drawing any conclusions.
