"Okay. Stay calm. Breathing too much will just limit how much oxygen we have. Me and Quentin can last a while but I know the rest of you can't."
"Naomi. Think you can find a way out of here?" "I can certainly try."
"That's all I can really ask for."
Naomi begins to pace around the room in search of any way outa here. Adam, Quentin and Ashley try to find a comfortable enough place to sit down at since they have nothing to do.
Everyone, thankfully, is staying calm as per your instructions. Every small bit of oxygen saved matters a lot with a room this tiny. You close your eyes as you begin to focus all of your energy on challenging WHISPERS OF THE CITY. It's not that it costs any mental willpower.
It's that the room you're in is subtly shifting. It's so subtle that even you didn't notice it at first until your MAKESHIFT POCKETWATCH quietly beeps to warn you of it happening. There's dozens of possible 'paths' leading out of this room (each hidden in a different spot) but as you scan them, they subtly twist and curve into random directions that lead no where.
They even expected you to find a way out. They wanted you to find a decoy path out of here.
You click your tongue. Damn.
You do notice two paths that don't seem to shift at all. Two real paths, you'd presume. One that heads directly down and one that heads southwest.
You deactivate your power before whispering what you saw to Naomi. She nods, getting the hint, before she continues the search.
That leaves one more thing to do before getting out of here.
Alexis is already flipping through some of the old dossiers to burn time. You decide to join her - You might as well partake in some intel gathering while you're stuck in this pit, right?
The two of you already know which ones are bunk and not worthy of your time. If there's anything the two of you share, it's knowing how to get through shitty paperwork.
"So," You grab one of the dossiers that seems interesting. "Random question. Why did Felix-"
"It was some stupid show his friend 'Anderson' showed him. Those two have been getting real chummy lately." Anderson. Hm. You were warned about a revolutionary coming down here.
"Has he been treating Felix well?"
"As well as anyone else in the City treats a friend." She grabs another dossier. "Last I heard, he caused a riot in P and U-Corp only a few days ago. <span class="mu-b">Seems like trouble goes wherever he goes.</span>"
Welp. That's not a good sign if he's going to be arriving here soon.
"Noted. Thanks." You grab another two dossiers. You start flipping through them with Alexis to see what information you get.
MINOR POWER - UNITED
-A unnamed revolutionary group who talks about 'uniting' the City and 'bringing humanity back' to it. Run by an active ETF agent who has ties with D, G, and O-Corp. Our current intel says that <span class="mu-b">the aforementioned companies are backing his cause.</span>
-We believe these companies, minor powers compared to other alphabet companies, wish to 'even' the odds.
