>"So what's this deal you're on your way to make?"The Agents stir to life.
Uno looks at Tres, expecting him to speak. Tres looks back to Uno, not quite expecting <span class="mu-i">you</span> to speak. She's all yours, Tres seems to say.
"Ahem. It was meant to be a clean deal." Uno starts gesticulating. "We show up with the agreed-upon negotiation site and Tres here hands over his blueprints for OTXO rep's disk. A briefcase for a briefcase. But now..."
Tres's grip on the briefcase tightens.
<span class="mu-r">"The deal's off, baby. OTXO is dead."</span>
"With the elimination of the OXTO representative," Tres chimes in. "We don't have the additional security from the other company's presence. The scenario has been compromised."
"So it's become a free-for-all. Lateralis and OXTO's enemies, rival companies and the like, are going to show up and try to nab the disk before we can. Hell, if we're late or just plain unlucky, <span class="mu-r">a Major Power might just show up with its own forces to muscle in on the deal."</span>
"So, in summary..."
<span class="mu-s">OBJECTIVE</span>: SECURE THE DISK OF THE LATE OTXO REPRESENTATIVE BY ANY MEANS.
RISK LEVEL: <span class="mu-r">HIGH</span>
REWARD: YOU GET TO WALK AWAY FROM ALL THIS + ???
"No questions?" You shake your head. Uno smirks. "Good girl. Now is a fine time as any to get going."
Tres fiddles with the combination of his briefcase. <span class="mu-g">"We might have a small head start. They might be in the area, but the Agents of other companies might not know about the deaths of the OTXO."</span>
>QUESTION: What's Dos in this group?>Support gauging everyone else, especially Dos"Alright buddy, we're going down now. You can stand up still, right?" Uno snaps his fingers in front of the still seated Agent.
"Just leave her alone, Uno. Don't drag her into this," Dos repeats hollowly. His voice is dry and quiet speaking from somewhere far far away from here. Stiffly, almost mechanically, he staggers to his feet and stares at Uno's face.
"Where-?"
"We're still on the Mission, Dos buddy. Come on. You still got the submachine gun, right?" There is indeed something black, large, and blocky in his jacket. "Good, good. Just follow us and we'll get you through."
Dos only mutters to himself in response.
[MADNESS] There's almost nothing left of Dos. His mind is gone. He's going through everything as if it all were a dream...
[HEARTLESS] For some reason, you feel this sharp burning envy. You don't even want to look at him.
>"W-Where are we headed?"You swallow the sudden acridness and spit out your question.
"We continue as planned," Tres says. He points a finger. At the long end of the viewing platform is a white door waiting for all of you.
