*The door ahead opens up to a sleek looking hallway that matches the color scheme of the room we stand in, and scattered about its floors are the parts of what used to be robots of some kind, now torn to shreds*

@Armed Forces

*grabs a large part*
What were these?

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Maybe we can find a more reliable source of power down here. Or a security station, so we can get out before anyone gets hurt.

@Armed Forces

Well, if the doors close, I can either bust us out or eat a hole to escape.

*After the terminals take a second to boot up, they force display on their screens “Local Power Mode. Estimated Time Before Shutoff: 00:02:14:38”, and the metallic door in our path slowly starts to slide open*

@Armed Forces

Timed event. Huh. Mom mentioned dungeons like these.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

We're gonna diiiiiiiiie!

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

This is an attempt to manipulate me. Lucky for me, I see through your tricks.
*Crosses my arms and nods with a satisfied expression*
I'm wise to your schemes, Shadow Operator.

@Webmaster

You got me.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Nice try, but you're not getting any plots from me, nope.
*Bends my index fingers against my temples*
My mind is like a steel trap, resistant to all sorts of manipulation.

@Webmaster

Because you manipulate yourself?

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

*Gasps*
You're going to steal the ocean!?

@Webmaster

How would I do that? It’s all around me at home.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

So what's next for the city? What sort of eeeeeevil plans do you have in mind?

@Webmaster

I don’t really care too much about the city, it’s very nice and open despite the planet being practically just a massive ocean.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Thor-ough! Look at you, being a manipulative mastermind.

@Webmaster

I am thorough, thank you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

That gets the feds even further off your trail! Strategic brilliance!

@Webmaster

I’ve went through the immigration process through and through, thank you very much.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

You know what I think they call you? The Shadow Operator. It just fits!

@Webmaster

But I’m metal, not shadow. Shadow dragons are weird and cringy.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

So you admit it!

@Webmaster

Admit what?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

I'm starting to think you might be a mastermind behind your entire town, operating under the shadows!
*Moves both arms in front of my face horizontally and slowly shifts them to the side*

@Webmaster

That would be more interesting than just trying to scrape by with rent and doing odd jobs.
