Despite your new stealth suit, you don't feel like braving the bridges yourself. Instead, you look at an ambulance driving off into the City with injured soldiers in it and hatch a devious idea. One that (obviously) involves further torment of the nerd. Eh, if she protests, you could always just punch her until she does what you say. It really is that simple.
– "Come on, don't you want to get out of here?" You nudge her on, as both of you find a way to her car through the indoor parking.
– "I do! But n-not with you!" She whisper-shrieks, leading you to a tiny yellow car. Damn it, surely she could have gotten herself a bigger one on a glowie-owned scientist salary?
– "Well, tough shit, you don't have a choice." You shrug and slide into the back of the car. The visible air refraction created by your suit is minimal when you lie still, so you rate your chances as pretty good. It's not you who's a weak link in this particular plan.
The nerdmobile rolls out of the parking spot, the tiny woman flashing her ID and squeaking something about "urgent business," seemingly enough to make several soldiers standing overwatch in the garage fuck off. They do radio someone as she drives outside, though. At your urging, she takes the bridge with Breeze on it.
– "Ma'am, you shouldn't leave yet. There might still be monsters in the area outside the research center." Breeze sounds tired but determined.
– "Uhh.. I j-just have a very urgent.. place to be!" The nerd is not very helpful. She wants nothing more than to be as far from you as possible, and if you'd had to guess, every monster dead by any means necessary. Should you kill her first if she gives you away? Probably. For now Breeze just sighs sympathetically.
– "What, monster attack barely over and you already have to be somewhere else? Working for the government must not be nice.. It's okay, you can just wait here, tell your boss a hero held you up. We're pretty good at taking the blame." Breeze smiles at the nerd, then continues more seriously. "City blocks around are still unsafe, really. You should wait before leaving."
