"Release you? No, no, we're keeping you for now."
"Wait, no, you can't-" "Silence."
"Wait, before you do something. Old man, do you have a broadcast system here in this factory?"
"Eh? Nothing here has been operational for years, lady."
"Who's the Harvester in the freezer?" "Four questions is enough, DID YOU NOT HEAR WHAT I SAID?!" <<span class="mu-b">"Shit, shit, shit. Is that who they're after? Shouldn't have held that C-Corp Confectioner for Roger."</span>> Oh? C-Corp? Interesting.
"Go ahead, Seath."
Seath lifts his knee off the old man so he can actually pick up the old man. He promptly lifts the old man off the ground with one hand before locking him in a chokehold. The old man desperately tries to squirm out of Seath's grip but the only people YOU know who could break out of that is Lex and Benedict.
Once the old man is barely consciousness, Seath removes the old man from the chokehold and shifts his position so he's standing next to the old man, hand on his shoulder. He has a FIRM grip on the old man's shoulder, he's not going anywhere.
Good.
>THE OLD MAN is now your prisoner! Exploring is riskier until you can kill him.
You promptly bite down onto your arm until blood is drawn, focusing all of your effort into resummoning POI. Soon, the same vague misty silhouette manifests out of the self inflicted wound. You can tell she's not too pleased on being resummoned with how moody she sounds.
"Feh."
Whatever, physical manifestation of one of your schizophrenic voices, you're too important.
>POI's effects are reapplied! No RESTRAINT regeneration this update.
While Seath and Benjamin stand by the door, eyes peeled in case anything else happens, you promptly chirp out a warning towards everyone about the figure you saw and to KEEP THEIR GUARDS UP AT ALL COSTS. You also command Kiara and the others to join up with Max and Clover, sticking together is important now.
As for the FREEZER VIP? You can probably still deal with him but it may require convincing BUGARM LADY to do it on your group's behalf so you can spend your remaining time here at the place Clover wants to go to. Might have to split the reward 50/50 with her. Hrm. You'll see if it's worth it later.
Sadly you can't play the old man's screams but at the very least, you'll jack all of the shit remaining here in his office. Though depending on how painful it is, his screams may be loud enough to echo throughout the factory anyways.
Let's see what you can jack from his office. You toss away the desks and filing cabinets with your telekinesis, trusting your WHISPER OF THE CITY boosted instincts to find where his stashes are. You tally up everything you find in this rink-a-dink office...
LOOT OBTAINED!
>$615
>WHITE POWDER x2 (Boosts VIOLENCE and TALENT by 2 for a short duration, heals 1 RESTRAINT, deals 1 FLESH damage)
>MINDSHATTER PILLS x2 (Also known as LSD. This stuff was clearly watered down stock though. Heal 2 RESTRAINT and boosts WILLPOWER by 1 for a very long duration on use.)
