>>5716349Taking a few moments to get over the initial shock of your technological crutches no longer working, you look to the guards for help.Their <span class="mu-s">EARPIECES</span> still work though, right?
“Yep,” confirms Hank as his face contorts a bit, “Some of the guys are talking about the biggest animal they could take in a fight…”
Oh, <span class="mu-s">WHALE</span>, definitely, you exclaim with nary a second thought! See, they’re big and all, but they’re pretty gentle so you could easily use that to your advant-
“So we’ve got no cell service, but radios are still a-go, yea?” Confirms Pepper as she gently nudges you out of your trance!
“Seems that way…” The monitor watcher nods as the color drains from his face! “They mentioned the possibility of a <span class="mu-s">STORM</span> tonight, but I dunno…”
“<span class="mu-s">CELL BOOSTER’S</span> working fine over here…” Reports Cammy as she rolls over to a box plugged into a bunch of other techie doodads! “Which means there’s something going on with the overall signal…”
Okay, you groan, so that means Mina ain’t gonna be getting your texts, right? That means you’re gonna have to hoof it to the <span class="mu-s">AMPHITHEATER</span>.
“You realize my brother will <span class="mu-i">KILL</span> you if you interrupt, right?” Asks Pepper as she raises an eyebrow your way. Yea, you nod, but you’ve gotta tell Mina somehow…
“Oh for sure, chief!” Grins your redheaded companion, “Wasn’t trying to dissuade you–I think it’ll be fun!”
Glad <span class="mu-i">she’s</span> onboard with it…
Speaking of, you segue, you two aren’t gonna tell <span class="mu-i">ANYONE</span> about Pepper, right?
“Well…”
Because in case you forgot, you continue, cutting Hank off with a cold, hard stare, you saved their bacon back there! Not to mention it would make things a whole lot more chaotic!
The male security goon opens his mouth to protest, but catches himself. “Yea… you’re right…”
Looking to his partner for support, Cammy glances down at her freshly-cleaned wound and rolls her eyes. “<span class="mu-i">FINE</span>... I guess you guys have earned a little leeway…”
Great, you conclude with a nod, then that means you’ve got a speech to crash! Taking what remains of the <span class="mu-s">FIRST AID KIT</span> from Cammy, you head for the door and find Pepper hot on your heels!
“What are we waiting for, slick?” She asks as she places the <span class="mu-s">PIZZA MIND HAT</span> back on her head, “Let’s hustle!”
About that…
>LET’S GO! (TAKE PEPPER)>TOO RISKY. STAY HERE! (LEAVE PEPPER)>ACTUALLY YOU WERE HOPING (HANK OR CAMMY) WOULD COME…>WRITE-IN!
