  <EventText.frenseynomor.c1>You see a familiar person in a lab coat, his hair looks like it hasn't seen a comb in days. Not only that, dark circles under his eyes have deepened and his once-clean lab coat is now wrinkled and stained. Despite his disheveled appearance, a wide grin spreads across his face like he has done something great.</EventText.frenseynomor.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1>Approach the researcher.</EventText.frenseynomor.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.c1>Upon noticing you, his face lights up with recognition and excitement. “Oh, it’s you! You won’t believe this but I’ve finally done it! I’ve completed my research!” He exclaims, almost bouncing on the balls of his feet.</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1>“What have you discovered?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.c1>With a flourish, he pulls out a syringe filled with a violet liquid from his pocket. “This…” He says, holding it up like a prized trophy, “Is my newest creation. After countless trials and errors, I have finally perfected the formula. This is the one that will enhance our human capabilities far beyond our current limitations!”
</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1>Examine the drug.</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.c1>You take a closer look at the syringe, noting that there is no notable difference between this and the previous substance you encountered before.</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Are you sure it’s safe?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>His eyes widen with fervent conviction. “Absolutely! I’ve tested it thoroughly on various specimens and recorded every possible outcome. This time, there’s no margin for error. All I need now is to test it on a live human… In fact, I’m so certain of its safety and efficacy that I’m willing to test it on myself right here and now!” Before you can react, he rolls up his sleeve and prepares to inject himself with the syringe.</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Hold up… Maybe it’s best not to do it yet.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>He pauses, giving you a curious look as he asks, “And why shouldn’t I do it?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“What if something goes wrong again?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“Tsk! Nothing could go wrong! This time I double checked everything. I am certain that what I synthesize this time will not kill me.” He replies in irritation.</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“You’ve come so far. It would be a shame to rush now and risk everything.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>After considering your words, his enthusiasm falters slightly and is replaced by a more thoughtful expression. “You have a point. I’ve come this far, it wouldn’t hurt to triple-check everything. Fine, I’ll conduct a few more tests and ensure absolute perfection.” He lowers the syringe and tucks it back into his pocket.</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>Continue.</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>He contemplates. “However, being in an outpost can only provide me with so much. I've tried to advance my research here but the constraints are undeniable. Perhaps it's time I considered a different approach…”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>He looks up to you and inquires, “Wait, you travel around often right? Would you consider allowing me to join your crew? Working alongside a diverse team could provide the resources and support I need to truly refine my research."</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Sure, we can take you along.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“Excellent! Wait, I realized I haven’t formally introduced myself… I am Fren Seynomor. Although I prefer if you call me Dr. Seynomor. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Welcome on board.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>"Alright, I'll gather my things and prepare for the journey ahead." He says, excitement evident in his voice. "I can't wait to get my hands on new live specimens!"</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>Leave.</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>“Hold up doctor, I have a few questions.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>“Shoot me the questions. I’ll try to answer them to the best of my abilities.” He replies.</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1>“What’s your purpose for doing all this research?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.c1>His expression grows serious and a spark of determination in his eyes.“My purpose? It’s simple. I want to push the boundaries of human potential. Imagine a world where our bodies can heal almost instantly, where illness and injury are relics of the past. Picture a world where we can breathe underwater and withstand the pressure of the sea without a diving suit.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.c1>“I’m striving to create a future where humanity isn’t limited by its physical weaknesses. This research isn’t just about scientific discovery… It’s about changing the course of our evolution and improving the quality of life for everyone.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1>“Are you one of those cultists?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.c1>“You mean an acolyte of the Church? Yes, I used to be one. But I left their sect some time ago.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Why did you leave?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“Because the Church and I do not share the same sentiments. One may argue that both of us have things in common but the Church is driven by religious beliefs and communion with the parasite. I, on the other hand, rely on solid scientific evidence and facts to find a way to harness the parasite’s abilities.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Do you know anything about the Sigil incident?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“Oh? Sigil City, you say? Where did you hear about that?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“A sergeant mentioned it to me.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“Interesting... It’s not common for a sergeant to discuss it. Anyway, I do know a few things. I heard that hundreds of people died there because of a husk outbreak. There are also some rumors about it. One story is that some acolytes of the Church got overzealous and infected a group of civilians during a coalition ceremony.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>"Oh?"</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>

Either way, whether that's true or not, I can't say for certain… Since I just overheard it at a bar.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“That’s all I wanted to ask.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>“That's enough questions for now.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Do you think people will accept your work?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“That’s a tricky question. Some will see the potential and embrace it, while others will fear the unknown and reject it. Change is always met with resistance, but I’m confident that once I perfect the drug and establish credibility in my work, they’ll see the benefits and acceptance will surely follow.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>"I'm sorry, but we can't take you with us."</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>Disappointment can be seen on his face but he nods understandingly. “I understand. It was a long shot but I had to ask. No matter, I’ll find a way to make it work… Anyway, I must return to my studies. Farewell.” With that, he walks away, already lost in thought.</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>“What if there's another unforeseen reaction?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>“Tsk! There won’t be! I have double checked everything. Even though I have not tested it on a human, I am certain that what I synthesize this time won’t kill me.” He replies in irritation.</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>“Alright, go ahead. Let's see if it works.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>You watch as he administers the drug, his face fills with anticipation. Moments pass in tense silence and he begins to mutter observations to himself. “No immediate adverse side effects… No numbness… I feel perfectly fine.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.c1>He pauses, looking at his hands and then his arms. “I didn’t turn! This is great news! However, there is only one way to find out if the drug is truly successful…” He turns to look at you and says, “Come punch me in the face!”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1>“Are you sure about that?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.c1>“Oh come on, you don’t think I forgot the last time you punched me in the face! You left me with a bruised cheek for a few days straight! Now if my drug works, it won’t hurt as much as before. In fact, the bruise should heal in minutes, according to my data.” He claps his hands together and then spreads them wide as he continues, “Let’s not waste time, punch me! I can handle it!”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1>Punch him in the face.</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.c1>You take a deep breath, pull back your fist and deliver a solid punch to his face. His head snaps back and you hear a sickening crack as his nose breaks. He staggers backward, clutching his face as blood starts to pour from his nostrils. “Ahh! Oh god!” He yelps, his voice muffled by his hands.</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Did I punch too hard?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>Still leaning his head forward with one hand pinching the bridge of his nose, he raises the other hand towards you, waving it dismissively as he says, “No no… You did fine. Just wasn’t expecting you to go for the nose but that’s fine… I’ll just need a moment.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>"Okay."</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>He grabs his broken nose and in a quick motion, snaps it back in place. He grimaces and looks up at you, his eyes watering but then a grin slowly spreads across his face. “This will heal quickly… Just wait and see. The bleeding should stop any minute now…”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>Wait patiently.</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>Few minutes pass and his confident grin starts to falter as the blood continues to trickle from his nose. He furrows his brow with frustration and confusion. “This… doesn’t make sense.” He mumbles, his voice tinged with irritation. “The bleeding should have stopped by now… Why isn’t it working?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“I don’t know.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>He fumbles through his lab coat to grab a cloth to staunch the bleeding, his expression growing more exasperated by the moment. “I don’t understand. The regenerative properties… They should be active.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Maybe the drug didn’t work?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“No… It did work but maybe not in the way I expected. I've noticed that the first aid I applied isn’t as effective as it should be. It seems the drug might be interfering with the healing process.” He answers as he analyzes his condition.</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>He sighs heavily, “It seems like I have to conduct some tests on myself to find out the true effects of the drug… It may not be a complete success, but it’s not a total failure either since I’m still alive. I have to further my research again with the knowledge I gained.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o2>“Do you want another punch?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>Still leaning his head forward with one hand pinching the bridge of his nose, he raises the other hand towards you, shaking it as he says, “No, I think one punch is enough... I need to… Just give me a moment.” He mutters, trying to compose himself.</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2>Refuse to punch him.</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.c2>“Of course! If my drug works, a simple punch won’t cause me much pain. Normally, a bruise would take days to heal but with this drug, it should heal in minutes! If my information is correct...” He claps his hands together and then spreads them wide as he continues, “Come on, enough chatters… Punch me! I can take it!”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.c2>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o3.c1>He rolls his eyes and sighs, “You growing soft on me? I thought you had a knack for punching people…” He pulls out a knife from his pocket and continues, “Tsk… Whatever. If you won’t help, I’ll do it myself.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o3.c1>

  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.c1>He fumbles through his lab coat to grab a bandage and begin wrapping it around his hand to staunch the bleeding while his expression grows more exasperated by the moment. “I don’t understand.

It seems the drug might be interfering with the healing process.” He explains as he studies his condition intently.</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o3.c2>He rolls his eyes and sighs, “Tsk… Whatever. I guess you don’t want to hurt yourself, which is fine.” He pulls out a knife from his pocket and continues, “If you won’t help, I’ll do it myself.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o3.c2>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o2>Leave the man alone.</EventText.frenseynomor.o2>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.c2>You spot a familiar figure in a lab coat scanning the crowd. Despite his messy hair and baggy eyes revealing sleep deprivation, the man looks anxious… As if he is glancing around for someone or something.</EventText.frenseynomor.c2>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.c1>"Oh? Hello, it’s you again. Quite a coincidence… You’ve come at a perfect time, I need some assistance." The researcher greets you.</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1>“What do you need?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.c1>He pulls out a syringe filled with purplish liquid from his pocket and replies, “I have been working on my research lately and I’ve managed to synthesize this new drug. Now all I need is someone to test it for me.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.c1>You take a closer look at the syringe and realize you’ve somehow seen this before.

You suspect whatever is inside this syringe may contain a husk parasite.</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1>“Isn’t this a husk parasite?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.c1>He glances around before leaning closer and whispering, “Shh… Not so loud! We don't want to attract attention… But to answer your question, yes.

  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1>“What the hell is wrong with you?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>He scoffs at your remark, “What do you mean? What I’m doing here is for the greater good of humanity!

  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“No, that’s messed up. I’m not doing it.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“Tsk… Fine, I'll handle it myself. Somehow I thought you might grasp the significance of my work, but I guess not." With that, he walks away to find someone else.</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>“And what do I get in return if I choose to help you?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2>“What do I get in return if I help you?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>He sighs, as if anticipating your question. "I’ll pay you generously if you can do it and gather the results for me."</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1>“Alright, I’ll do it.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.c1>He hands you the syringe and continues, "I’ll be here waiting. Remember, take note of any notable symptoms. Though I'm confident there won't be any issues."</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.c1>You find a security officer doing patrols.</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.c1>

  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Hey! Your doctor wants me to pass you this syringe.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“Huh? Really? Usually my doctor will deliver it to me personally… I find it odd that they would ask someone else to do it.” He replies.</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Uh… They are busy lately, so they couldn’t meet you.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“Oh… Okay.” He says but before he grabs the syringe, he asks with a hint of skepticism, "Wait, just to be sure, what's my doctor's name?"</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>

  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>He nods and replies, “Cool, checks out.” Then he takes the syringe from you and asks, "So, what's in it anyway?"</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“I don’t know. They didn’t tell me but they did say you should take it immediately.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“And why do I need to do that?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Uh… To ensure its effectiveness. They were very specific about the timing.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“Oh okay, if that’s the case...” He murmurs, lifting the syringe to his upper arm and injecting it. "If that's all, I'll get back to work... But let Dr. Happy know I'll visit soon." With that, he turns to leave but you notice him starting to stumble.

  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1>“Why not test it on yourself?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1>

  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>He tries to say a word but his body starts twitching erratically and his limbs twist in unnatural directions.

  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o2.o1.o2.o1.c1>"That’s for you to figure out." He replies frankly.</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o2.o1.o2.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o2.o1.o2.o1.o1>“Alright, I'll see what I can do.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o2.o1.o2.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o2.o1.o2.o1.o2>“Nope, I'm not doing this.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o1.o1.o2.o1.o2.o1.o2>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.c3>You spot a middle-aged person in a lab coat pacing back and forth in annoyance. Occasionally muttering to himself about something as though he is cursing something or someone.</EventText.frenseynomor.c3>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3>Approach the man.</EventText.frenseynomor.o3>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.c2>Not bothering to look behind him, the researcher asks in a rather rude way, “Here to take more of my things huh?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.c2>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o2>“Uh… Yes, I am here to rob you.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o2>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o2.c1>“Tsk… You already took everything. So, kindly shove your baton up your ass and screw off, would you?” He scoffs at your remark.</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o2.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o3>“No…? Why would I do that?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o3>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o3.c1>He finally turns to take a glance at you. “Oh! My apologies! I thought you were one of those guards patrolling the outpost…”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o3.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o3.o1>“Did something happen?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o3.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o3.o1.c1>“Yes. You see, I am a researcher myself and I study many fascinating creatures… However, the security guards recently confiscated my notes, and now I can't continue my research." He explains, pondering a solution to his predicament.</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o3.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o3.o1.o1.c1>Suddenly his eyes sparkle as he asks, “Mayhaps you can help me get my stuff back?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o3.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o3.o1.o1.o1>“How can I help?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o3.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o3.o1.o1.o1.c1>“Since they don't recognize you, you can sneak into the office where they store confiscated items and retrieve the documents for me.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o3.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Wouldn’t that get me into trouble?”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“You're right... But I can create a distraction for the guards. That should give you enough time to retrieve my notes. How does that sound?” He replies.</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Alright… Sounds simple enough.”</EventText.frenseynomor.o3.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>

  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o1.o4>“You. I want you on my crew.”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o1.o4>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o1.o4.c1>She chuckles, “A little too late for that, don’t you think? I’ve already submitted the documents to take over this crew, I can’t leave them now since I am the captain of my ship. However, I can help you recruit two crewmates if you are in desperate need of helping hands.”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o1.o4.c1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o1.o4.o1>“No, I need money.”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o1.o4.o1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o1.o4.o2>“No, I want guns.”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o1.o4.o2>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o1.o4.o3>“Yes, I like to have more crewmates.”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o1.o4.o3>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o1.o4.o3.c1>"Okay. So tell me, for your first crewmate, what types of personnel are you looking for?"</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o1.o4.o3.c1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2>“No.”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.c1>“Huh? Then what is the purpose of this call?” She asks, a little bewilder by your action.</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1>“I thought we could have a conversation.”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.c1>“A conversation? Aren’t you an amusing one? I guess I do not mind having a talk… What is it that you like to ask?”
</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.c1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o1>“How have you been faring?”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o1.c1>“Well… With my new promotion as a captain and the death of my old captain, I am definitely doing a lot better. Thank you for asking.” She replies casually.</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1>“Look, I know Captain Smith wasn’t a traitor. Tell me… Why did you want him dead?”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2>“Do you have any interesting stories throughout your travels?”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.c1>“Well… Since you found out the truth, I guess there is no need for me to hide it anymore. There are two reasons why I wanted him dead. One was because he always placed his crewmates in danger. To him, the lives of a few people were nothing compared to his own quest for power and knowledge.”
</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o1>“And the second reason?”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o1.c1>“The second reason was because I wanted my revenge on him for killing my former captain… For killing someone who raised me when I was young… Someone who I saw as a fatherly figure.”
</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o1.c1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o1.o1>“I can understand your actions.”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o1.o1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o1.o1.c1>“I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect you to understand my situation. That said, I’m truly grateful for your help. If you hadn’t taken the job, I would still be stuck here dealing with that bastard. So whatever you need, I’ll do my best to help you get it."</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1>“Let’s get back to business.”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o1.o2>“It still doesn’t feel right to kill someone for the sake of avenging someone else…”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o1.o2>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o1.o2.c1>“I don’t expect you to understand, you’ve probably never lost someone close to you to truly know how it feels. Regardless, I appreciate your help in taking that bastard down. Whatever you need, I’ll help you get it. I don’t like leaving debts unpaid.”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.c2>“A conversation? Aren’t you an amusing one? I guess I do not mind having a talk… What is it that you like to ask?”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.c2>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o2>“Tell me, how did you find out that your captain was a traitor?”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o2>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.c2>“I have my own ways of finding out the truth… Plus being the second in command, you would have to follow him around and obey his orders. Eventually he lets his guard down and you’ll see his true colors.”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.c2>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.c3>“Hm… I do have a tale or two worth sharing. Especially this one, what started as a routine escort mission quickly turned into chaos. Out of nowhere, a Coalition submarine ambushed us. Somehow, they managed to board our sub and I was among the first to confront the attack. I took down a few Coalition soldiers before they overpowered me. In the end, I was captured by the Coalition.”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.c3>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o3>“What happened afterwards?”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o3>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o3.c1>“I was brought in and forced to stand in front of the Coalition council… I must say, it felt like I was being watched by a pack of hungry mudraptors. They demanded my execution but I managed to negotiate for my life. In exchange for my freedom, I had to share valuable information about the Separatists. Of course, I only gave up non-essential details. That was enough to satisfy them and they released me… Under the condition that I serve aboard a Coalition submarine called Sorrowful.”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o3.c1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o3.o1>“How was it like working in a Coalition submarine?”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o3.o1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o3.o1.c1>“It was horrible. The captain did not care for his crew and was fixated on following the Coalition laws. Breaking even a minor rule meant facing death or something worse.”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o3.o1.c1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o3.o1.o1.c1>“I remember there was this mechanic… I believe his name was Shepard… He got caught stealing from an outpost. When the captain found that out, he literally ordered one of the doctors to amputate mechanic’s hand as punishment. Afterwards, the poor guy ended up going crazy from the pain and trauma.”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o3.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o3.o1.o1.o1.c1>“You think this would intimidate people from trying to do crime. Which it did work on his crew but it didn’t work on me. For someone who is an expert at stealing, I know my ways around thievery. Hell, I even stole a few bottles of expensive booze from the captain himself! The captain spent weeks hunting for the culprit but never found a trace haha.”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o3.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Nice. How about security?"</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“They were god damn incompetent. There was this one incident, I was in the reactor room when a mudraptor broke in. I fled towards the nearest room for safety and the moment I opened the door, a security officer shot off my right leg!”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“I shit you not, I instantly fell onto the floor and I didn’t even realize my leg was gone until a medic pointed it out. I was then dragged to medbay to get treated… I could barely remember the rest as I slipped in and out of consciousness from all the blood loss.”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“Now that I think about it, I wasn’t really lucky when I was with that crew. I was in so many accidents that I lost count… I actually felt bad for the medics, they had to patch me up every single time. In fact, I even got to know one of the medics personally. Her name was Dr. Pierce… She had a cold demeanor but always treated me nicely.”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“Even when she found out I was once a Separatist, she never really held hostility towards me. I kind of wish I could meet her again or if I could, I like to bring her over towards the Separatists. At last, it’s a shame we stand on different sides and I bet it’s best if I don’t find her…”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>

  <EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“No, I heard it from a commissar who used to work in that crew.”</EventText.callingkumo.o1.o2.o1.o2.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>

  <EventText.kazuyakumo.c1>You see a high ranking officer in formal attire befitting a First Mate leaning against a wall. Her furtive eyes glance through the passersby until her eyes meet yours.

  <EventText.kazuyakumo.o1>“Who are you?”</EventText.kazuyakumo.o1>

  <EventText.kazuyakumo.o1.o1.c1>She glances around her for a second, making sure no one is listening in on the conversation, before leaning closer to you to continue. “There’s a Coalition traitor among my crew and I need an outsider like you to get rid of him.”</EventText.kazuyakumo.o1.o1.c1>

  <EventText.kazuyakumo.o1.o1.o1.o1>“What?! If the captain is the traitor, why didn’t you report him to the authorities?”</EventText.kazuyakumo.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.kazuyakumo.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“I can’t do that. Being the second in command, my movements are being watched by the captain. If I report to the authorities, I would be executed the moment my captain realizes what I did.” She responds calmly.</EventText.kazuyakumo.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.kazuyakumo.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“So what do you suggest?”</EventText.kazuyakumo.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>

  <EventText.kazuyakumo.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>She ponders for a bit, before replying, “I could lend you a hand on your travels by joining your crew.

  <EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.c1>“Click click huh?” The clown sticks his hand into his pants and pulls out a switch. Then he places the switch into your hand and comments excitedly, “Here’s your click click!”</EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.c1>Noticing your expression, he realizes something is off. “Ohhh! That’s what you mean! Wait a second, I got it right here!” He quickly sticks his head into his crate as if he was searching for something.</EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.c1>Eventually he pulls out a pair of machine pistols and hands it over to you. “Here’s your ratata! Ammo not included of course!” He winks at you childishly.</EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1>“Okay…”</EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Well, ‘Jokster’, I have a few questions.”</EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c2>“Oh? Questions for me? Hehe! Ask away, my curious friend!” He replies.</EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c2>
  <EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o4>“Why are you called Jokster?”</EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o4>
  <EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o4.c1>“You see, my father is a joker and my mother is a jester… That’s why I’m Jokster!” The clown proclaims.</EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o4.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o4.o1>“What are you good at?”</EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o4.o1>
  <EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o4.o1.c1>“I bring jokes to you and I’m good at motivating the crew! If you need someone to clown around, I am the one you call to town!” He chuckles.</EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o4.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o4.o1.o1>“Who is the Honkmother?”</EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o4.o1.o1>
  <EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o4.o1.o1.c1>The clown gasps in shock at your question. “How could you not know her?! She is everything yet nothing. She’s the abyss that rides the fish! The lady that holds the world in her grasp yet tosses a pie at the glass! She’s the fun that flows through our veins and makes us glee in pain!”</EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o4.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o4.o1.o1.o1>"Huh?"</EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o4.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o4.o1.o1.o1.c1>He sighs loudly as he continues, “It’s hard for me to explain if you can’t see the path of the bike horn. And if I were to explain fully, then the joke would simply fall flat you see.”</EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o4.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o4.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Alright, I have nothing else to ask.”</EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o4.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>“Come on, don’t be like that! Imagine the fun we could have! You, me and your crew in a baby submarine! The fun would be endless!” The clown comments in an attempt to persuade you.</EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1>“Fine, you can join us.”</EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1>
  <EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o2.o2>“No, we don’t need any more crewmates.”</EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o2.o2>
  <EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o2.o2.c1>His shoulder slums down in disappointment and responds in a gloomily tone, “Aw… But we had so much fun! Oh well… I will just continue my merry way.” With that, he begins to walk away in a rather sad yet dramatic way.</EventText.jokster.o1.o1.o1.o2.o2.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o2>Walk away from it.</EventText.jokster.o2>
  <EventText.jokster.o2.c1>You decide to leave the crate alone. As you walk away, you hear grumble noises coming from the crate.</EventText.jokster.o2.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.c2>You stumble upon a rather familiar looking red crate lying about on the floor.</EventText.jokster.c2>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.c1>You open the crate and a clown pops out of it. The clown does a bow and greets you warmly, “Hello traveler! I was not expecting to see you again! It’s nice to see you well and healthy.”</EventText.jokster.o3.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1>“What are you doing here?”</EventText.jokster.o3.o1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.c1>“I’m here on clown business, by the request of our great Honkmother… Say, since you are here, do you like to play another game?” He asks.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.c1>“Hehehe! Fantastic!” The clown replies excitedly as he shoves his hands into his pocket and pulls out a color pill in each of his hands. “On my left is a blue pill. On my right is a red pill. All you have to do is choose one and eat it!” He playfully smiles at you as he offers the pills to you once again.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1>“Can you give me a hint on which pill is good?”</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.c1>“One does not share what the pill does, but does know it gives a buzz. You will never know what’s in the pills, for it may help or it may kill. Do not think and just eat, for they will taste ever so sweet.”</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1>Take the blue pill and eat it.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>You eat the pill and it leaves a weird yet sweet aftertaste in your mouth. It will take a while before the pill takes effect.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“Oh? Haha! An excellent choice! Let’s hope the pill aids you in any jolly way possible! Now business calls and I must go. I hope we meet again, traveler!” The clown giggles and runs away before you can say anything.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>As you walk around the area, you feel as though something was wrong with your body. You couldn't exactly tell what's wrong but your vision begins to blur and you definitely feel sick. Whatever was in the pill might have poisoned you...</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>Better find a doctor soon.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c2>As you walk around the place, you feel slightly rejuvenated and any injuries you sustain before begin to slowly heal. Whatever was in the pill has made you feel better.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c2>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>Nice.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c3>As you go about doing your task, you swear you see something run past you. When you turn your head to check, there is nothing there. Are you imagining things? Who knows? Perhaps there was something wrong with the pill you ate a while back...</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c3>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3>Maybe it's time to see a doctor.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c4>As you go about doing your tasks, you notice your reflexes are faster than usual. You feel like you can definitely get things done swiftly. Whatever was in the pill has boosted you up.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c4>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o4>Hell yeah!</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o4>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c5>As you go about doing your tasks, you begin to feel feverish and your muscles start to ache. Whatever was in the pill had given you a sore throat too.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c5>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c6>As you walk around the area, you accidentally stub your toe on a table but you don't feel any pain. You decide to pinch yourself hard on the arm to see if you feel anything and you realize you don’t really feel pain. At this point, you feel as though you can wrestle a mudraptor with your bare hands and win the fight. Whatever was in the pill has jack you up.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c6>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c7>As you walk around the area, you suddenly collapse to the floor. When you wake up, your head is spinning and your body feels cold. You also realize you are bleeding on your chest. You are unsure what causes the bleeding but you get a feeling that it has something to do with the pill you took a while back.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c7>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c8>As you walk around the place, you feel a sharp pain coming from your stomach and you begin to vomit at the side of the hallway. You wipe off the puke that is still on your mouth and pant slightly in discomfort. Whatever was in the pill made you feel extremely sick.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c8>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o5>Maybe it’s time to see a doctor.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o5>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c9>As you go about doing your tasks, you notice you haven’t been breathing for a while… In fact, you feel like your skin has grown resistant to the atmospheric pressure. Whatever was in the pill has made you immune to pressure for the time being.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c9>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2>Take the red pill and eat it.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.c1>As you go about doing your tasks, you start to feel feverish... As if your whole skin is burning. Perhaps the pill you ate contained something radioactive?</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.c2>As you walk around the place, your body begins to feel stiff and your movement slowly becomes rigid. Whatever was in the pill might have caused this...</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.c2>

  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.c4>As you go about doing your tasks, you suddenly lose consciousness and collapse on the floor.

Whatever was in the pill has certainly given you a splitting headache.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.c4>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.c5>As you go about doing your tasks, you begin to feel an unbearable pain coming from your abdomen, as if something is burning through your stomach. Perhaps the pill you took from the clown was a bad choice...</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.c5>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3>Observe the clown.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.c1>You study the clown closely, he looks exactly like how he was when you first met him. However, when you take a closer look at his face, you notice that his red ball on his nose seems awfully shiny compared to the last time you met him. Perhaps you want to do something mischievous?</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1>Honk the clown’s nose.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.c1>You press hard on it and he flinches away from your hand, causing you to rip off his red nose. Placing his hands over his nose, he screams loudly as if he’s in pain, “AHHH! What have you done! It hurts!”</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1>“Oh no…”</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.c1>Seeing your panic expression, his screaming turns into laughter as he removes his hands from his nose to laugh at you. You can see he is perfectly fine. In fact, there is a new red nose replacing the one you took. When you look at the fake nose that is in your hand, you notice there is a purple pill hidden inside it.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“Oh? How interesting… I was expecting you to take the purple pill… No matter, you still made a great choice.

I hope we meet again, traveler!” The clown giggles and runs away before you can say anything.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1>Take the purple pill and eat it.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.c1>You eat the pill and oddly enough, it tastes extremely sweet when it touches your tongue. It will take a while before the pill takes effect.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.c2>“Oh? What an interesting choice you made! Well done… Let’s hope the pill aids you in any jolly way possible! Now business calls and I must go.

  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>As you walk around the area, you suddenly feel as if your brain has expanded and you seem to be wiser than usual. Whatever was in the pill has made you more experienced than before.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c2>As you walk around the place, your eyes slowly widen as knowledge floods into your mind. You realize you know how to fabricate backpacks at the back of your head. You guess eating the purple pill was not a bad idea after all.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c2>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>Cheers.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>

  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o2.c1>Eventually his screaming turns into laughter when he notices you laughing. He removes his hands from his nose and you can see he is perfectly fine.

  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.c2>You study the clown closely, he looks like any other clowns you have seen in Europa. Just a goofy innocent clown offering you rather peculiar pills.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.c2>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o2>Stare at the clown.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o2>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o2.c1>The clown stares back at you with each colored pill on his hands, waiting for your decision.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o2.c1>

  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o2.o1.c1>The clown continues to stare back at you with each pill in his hands. He waits patiently for you to make a choice.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o2.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o2.o1.o1.c1>He gazes at you as you gaze back at him, his unwavering hands holding tightly onto the colorful capsules. He awaits your move.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o2.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o2.o1.o1.o1.c1>The clown tilts his head slightly at your constant staring without moving the rest of his body. You swear you hear a crack from his neck. Yet the clown carries on with the stare without batting an eye.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o2.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>The clown finally breaks eye contact, glancing between the two pills in his hands, he begins to juggle the pills. At some point, you notice that the two pills he was juggling turns into three… And then four… And five… As soon as he catches all of them, he extends one pill in each hand towards you. Somehow, the rest of the pills magically disappear into thin air like they were never there.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>The clown pulls his pants outwards and drops the pills into his pants. Shaking his hips a little, he extends his hands out towards you again, offering the same coloured pills to you. You are left wondering how the pills end up in his hands…</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>The clown pops the pills into his mouth and swallows them. Afterwards he tilts his head to the side and smacks his head a few times with his left hand, causing the pills to drop out of his ear and onto his hand. Then he proceeds to offer the pills to you and waits for you to make a decision.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>The clown claps his hands together tightly and opens his palms. Instead of seeing the pills, you see a shimmering pile of purple dust leaving his hands as he shakes it off. He shoves his hands into his pockets, pulls out another set of pills and waits for you to decide.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>The clown snorts the pills into his red nose and begins to wheeze a little. Eventually he coughs, spitting out the pills onto each of his hands and offers it to you.</EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o1.o1.o1.o3.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>The clown tosses the pills over his shoulder and proceeds to pull out a scroll from his shirt. He carefully unrolls the scroll and starts to read it out loud to you, “Dear player… Will ye make a choice in choosing thy pills? For I will run out of words to write if thou keep this up.

  <EventText.jokster.o3.c2>You try to walk away from the crate but the lid of the crate pops open. A clown raises from it, stretches his arms up as he does a big yawn.

I was not expecting to see you here!”</EventText.jokster.o3.c2>
  <EventText.jokster.c3>You stumble upon a suspicious looking crate lying about on the floor.</EventText.jokster.c3>
  <EventText.jokster.o3>Approach the crate.</EventText.jokster.o3>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.c3>As you move closer to it, you see a clown symbol on the crate. You wonder why there is a clown crate lying about in the middle of nowhere. Do you wish to open it?</EventText.jokster.o3.c3>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o2>Check the crate by shaking it.</EventText.jokster.o3.o2>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o2.c1>You attempt to pick up the crate to shake it but fail to do so as it seems to be quite heavy.</EventText.jokster.o3.o2.c1>

  <EventText.jokster.o3.o2.o2>Walk away from the crate.</EventText.jokster.o3.o2.o2>

  <EventText.jokster.o3.o3.o1.o1.o1>“Why are you in a crate?”</EventText.jokster.o3.o3.o1.o1.o1>

  <EventText.jokster.o3.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“Hahaha! I knew you would say yes!” The clown prances around for a while before stopping right in front of you. He shoves his hands into his pockets, pulling out a pill on each of his hands and extends them towards you. “On my left is a blue pill. On my right is a red pill. All you have to do is choose one and eat it! Simple yes?”</EventText.jokster.o3.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>

  <EventText.jokster.o3.o3.o1.o1.c2>The clown winces in pain and clutches his red nose. Then he begins screaming at the top of his lungs. “Security! Security! There is a guy assaulting me! I need HELP!”</EventText.jokster.o3.o3.o1.o1.c2>

  <EventText.jokster.o3.o3.o1.o1.o3.o1.c1>Another groan left the clown’s mouth. He rubs his face and his cheerful voice changes to a more threatening tone, “Don’t make me shit my pants!”</EventText.jokster.o3.o3.o1.o1.o3.o1.c1>

  <EventText.jokster.o3.o3.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.c1>This time the clown takes the punch straight on and his red nose dent inwards on his mask. He pulls up his long sleeves as if he was ready to give a fist fight but then he thinks for a second. Soon, he changes his mind and sticks his hand into his pants, pulling out a HMG. Pointing the gun at your face, he declares loudly, “I will defend myself!”</EventText.jokster.o3.o3.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.c1>

  <EventText.jokster.o3.o3.c2>Before you can walk away, a clown comes bursting out of the crate, sending the lid flying towards you. You manage to duck under the lid before it hits your face.</EventText.jokster.o3.o3.c2>
  <EventText.jokster.o3.o3.o1>Phew... That was close.</EventText.jokster.o3.o3.o1>
  <EventText.jokster.o4>Leave it alone.</EventText.jokster.o4>
  <EventText.jokster.o4.c1>You decided to leave the crate alone. As you walked away, you swore you heard a chuckle coming from the crate.</EventText.jokster.o4.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.c1>You enter a scene where you witness a military officer engage in a tense confrontation with three civilians. Based on what you can see, you feel that something is about to happen.</EventText.sadashikira.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1>Watch from a distance.</EventText.sadashikira.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.c1>The officer maintains her stance, exuding authority as she addresses the group with confidence. However, you notice two individuals exhibiting defiance, while the last person appears nervously twiddling with something in their pocket.</EventText.sadashikira.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1>Observe the two bold civilians.</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.c1>They look like they do not want to cooperate with the officer… Not only that, they seem to be acting imprudent towards her.</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.c1>Before she can utter another word, the two defiant civilians launch an attack on her, while the anxious civilian makes a dash to flee from the scene. "Stop that individual! He's carrying a bomb!" The officer shouts, attempting to alert her colleagues to the fleeing suspect.</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1>Chase after the nervous civilian.</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>As you close in on the civilian, he finds himself trapped and with no place for escape. Desperate, he turns toward you, attempting to draw a revolver from his pocket.</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Stop! I want to talk!”</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>"Talk?! Is that why you're chasing me?" The civilian queries, casting a puzzled glance your way, uncertain whether to initiate an attack or not.</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Calm down, you don’t need to do this.”</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>"I– I don't want to... They forced me into this. I have no choice, they'll kill me if I refuse!" He cries out, his hands shaking as he aims the gun at you.</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Drop your weapon and surrender yourself. I’m sure they will lessen your crimes if you cooperate.”</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>After a moment of contemplation, he pleads in desperation, "Please, don't report me. I can't afford to be arrested! I'll drop the weapon and hand over the bomb. Just act like you never saw me and I'll disappear from your life."</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Okay, hand over the items.”</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>The civilian complies, surrendering both the gun and the device. "Thank you. I'll disappear before you know it." He says before bolting away at full speed.</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>

  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.c1>She raises one of her eyebrows and asks, “If you're uncertain, why are you still heading in that direction?”</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.c1>

  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c2>“Could have been better. I got into an incident a while back, someone knocked me out and stole my valuables… Not sure who it was but I’m sure it’s some lowlife.” She responds with a hint of disdain.</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>"Oh... I wonder who would do that."</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>She suddenly shifts the topic and says, “Anyway, there is a question I would like to ask you personally.”</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c3>“I’ve been good. In fact, I heard from my peers that someone from your crew rescued me when I was incapacitated by a separatist captain some time ago. Just letting you know, I appreciate that.

  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3>"Your welcome."</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>“I managed to snatch it off him while fighting him.”</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>“I dealt with him.”</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2>Toss the bomb device towards her.</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>With effortless grace, she snags the device with a single hand and furrows her brow in slight concern. After inspecting the device, she remarks, “Not armed, good. You shouldn’t be tossing a device like that. Anyway, what happened to the culprit?”</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.c2>When you return to the officer's side, you see she has successfully subdued the attackers. Now she is tending to her wounds while giving orders to the guards to begin patrols. It’s best not to disturb her unless you have the bomb to show as proof that you've dealt with the culprit.</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.o1.c2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o2>Do nothing about it.</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>
An urgent announcement blares over the PA system. "Attention, everyone. We have reason to believe that a bomb has been planted on the station. Exercise caution and evacuate to a secure area immediately."</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o2.c2>You found the bomb lying on the floor. There is no way to defuse it. Better find a way to get rid of it!</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o2.c2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1>Shit...</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o2>Observe the nervous civilian.</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o1.o2.c1>The civilian seems to be hiding something. From where you are standing, you can almost see a device with random wires sticking out of their pocket.</EventText.sadashikira.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o2>Move closer and listen in.</EventText.sadashikira.o2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o2.c1>As you draw nearer, you notice a flicker of recognition in the officer's eyes upon sensing your presence. However, she maintains a stern expression as her attention returns to the civilians. “I won't repeat myself. I'm here to conduct a search and it’s best if you cooperate.” She asserts firmly.</EventText.sadashikira.o2.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o2.o1.c1>“You officers always love sticking your nose where they don't belong! To hell with this!” One of the civilians retorts, signaling to a nervous companion behind him, who stammers nervously, "W-Wait, now?"</EventText.sadashikira.o2.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o2.o1.o1.c1>“Yes! Do it!” He exclaims. With that, the nervous civilian takes off, brandishing a device adorned with an array of colored wires. You observe the officer attempting to pursue the fleeing individual, only to be intercepted by two burly civilians intent on assaulting her. "Damn it! Stop that guy! He got a bomb!" The officer shouts, attempting to capture her colleague's attention amidst the chaos.</EventText.sadashikira.o2.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.c2>As you enter the room, your eyes are drawn to the weary figure before you, a military officer that you have met a while back. However, she looks different… Her uniform, once a symbol of discipline and authority, now hangs loosely from her frame, the fabric wrinkled and stained with the dust of neglect.</EventText.sadashikira.c2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.c1>You notice the telltale signs of exhaustion etched into every line of her face. No matter what the clowns do around her, her eyes seem unfocused as her gaze is fixed on a distant point… As if lost in a world of her own.</EventText.sadashikira.o3.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.c1>“I… I can’t take this anymore. This… This has to end.” She mumbles to herself, unaware of your presence.</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o1>“Hey, snap out of it!”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o1.c1>Your words fall on deaf ears as her hands reach over for her shotgun. She pulls the gun barrel towards her head, placing it right under her chin… Her index finger on the trigger.</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o1.o1>“Wait, stop!”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o1.o1.c1>The clowns halt their movement as a heavy silence descends upon the room. The officer, who was once alive, now lies motionless on the ground. Where her head once belonged, there is now only absence, replaced by a pool of crimson blood.</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Shit…”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>The clowns stare at the lifeless corpse… Eventually, they exchange a nonchalant shrug before continuing with their merry way. It's best for you to leave the scene before anyone arrives.</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.c3>You see a familiar officer being harassed by a clown while she is diligently patrolling the area. Despite her efforts to maintain a composed demeanor, you occasionally do notice her furrowed eyebrows.</EventText.sadashikira.c3>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.c2>Her tired eyes glances towards you when she sees you approaching.</EventText.sadashikira.o3.c2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1>“Why is there a clown following you?”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.c2>“I don’t know but it has been pestering me for days now.” She replies.</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.c2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2>“Can’t you just arrest the clown?”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.c1>“Negative. So far the clown has not done anything illegal other than harassing me.” She states in an exhausted tone, brushing off the clown's persistent attempts to engage her.</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.c1>Slowly her weary eyes lit up with life as she says, “Wait, maybe you can help me with this…”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.c1> “Can you convince the security in-charge of this outpost to give a warrant to arrest this clown?”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1>“Why not ask them yourself?”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.c1>“I have tried getting a warrant a while back but they rejected my proposal...  Since the head of security isn’t fond of my presence, someone like you might have a better chance in convincing them.” She remarks.</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Sure, I can give it a try.”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o2>“No, I don’t have time to deal with this.”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.c1>“Report back as soon as you can. I will be waiting nearby.”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.c1>As you approach the head of security, he grumbles, “What is it now? I’m rather busy at the moment.”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1>“Can you give a warrant of arrest to somebody in this outpost?”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.c1>He snaps at your question, “Is this about the clown bothering that inspector again? Didn’t I say no to that request already?”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1>“Why did you reject the request?”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.c1>“Listen, the clown has not disturbed anyone else on this station except for that bloody inspector who visited a week ago. It’s not worth wasting my time making an arrest warrant on that clown, especially when the officer will be leaving in a few days anyway.”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Well, the clown has been assaulting other people recently, you just aren’t aware of it.”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>"Really? Why haven't my officers informed me of this... Blast it all! Fine, take this and deliver it to the officer. She'll handle the clown's arrest herself." With that, he retrieves the warrant of arrest documents and passes them to you.</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>Take the documents and leave.</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“You’re back. Did you manage to get a warrant?” She asks.</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“I did. Here are the papers.”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>She takes the document and after reading it thoroughly, she breaks into a faint smile. “Everything looks good. Not sure how you convinced them but you saved me a lot of trouble. Here, take this.” She then hands you a few hundred mks.</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“Thanks for your help. Now, I must return to my duties." She declares, shifting her cold gaze toward the clown as she reaches for her stun baton. Upon witnessing her menacing action, the clown hastily flees in fear for safety.</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>“I’m sorry, I wasn’t able to get one.”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>She sighs softly, “That’s fine. I appreciate your attempt in helping me. I’ll try to address this issue with them once more.”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1>“Good luck.”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.c1>She gives you a firm nod and resumes her patrol while the clown faithfully trailing her every move.</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.c2>“I have guards stationed throughout the entire station at this very moment and so far I have not received any complaints regarding the clown. So for your information, I am very much aware of what’s going on in this station. If you have nothing further to discuss, I suggest you scram and let me do my work.” He asserts.</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.c2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o2>“Won’t the clown go after one of your subordinates once the officer leaves?”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>He pauses his tasks, contemplating your words for a moment. "You make a good point... It's hard to predict the clown’s next move. Fine, I'll provide you with the arrest warrant. Pass it on to the officer, and she'll handle the rest." With that, he retrieves the arrest warrant documents and passes them to you.</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o2.c2>He dismisses the concern with a shrug. “Eh, when that happens, we’ll deal with it. Rest assured, we will arrest the clown if they harass anyone else. Now if there is nothing else you want to say, I will get back to my work.”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o2.c2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o3>“The clown is harassing someone in your outpost, isn’t that YOUR concern to begin with?”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o3>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o3.c1>“What are you trying to say exactly?” The security officer glares at you.</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o3.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1>“What if news reaches the coalition that you refused to assist your colleague? It wouldn't reflect well on your name, would it?”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.c1>He narrows his eyes as he speaks harshly, “Fine, I get what you mean… I’ll give you the arrest warrant.” He quickly gets the documents and hands them over to you. “Now get out of my sight! I already got reports to do and soon another one will be coming.” He grumbles irritably.</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.c2>“Ha! You must be funny to think they would care about a small matter like this. Now if you got nothing better to say, I suggest you scram unless you want a beating from me.” He retorts.</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o3.o1.c2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.c2>She lets out a sigh before responding, “Understood. I’ll find a way to handle this matter on my own. Thank you for your time.” With that, she resumes her patrol while the clown follows suit behind her.</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.c2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o2>“Aren’t you bothered by the clown?”</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3.o2.c1>“I am but I can’t do anything about it.” She replies.</EventText.sadashikira.o3.o2.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o3>Ignore them and continue your journey.</EventText.sadashikira.o3>
  <EventText.sadashikira.c4>You stumble upon an aftermath scene of a fight. With a body lying down on the floor and another person standing near them.</EventText.sadashikira.c4>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4>Move closer.</EventText.sadashikira.o4>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.c1>The person notices your presence and quickly dashes away from the area, leaving you behind with the mess.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1>Check up on the person lying on the floor.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.c1>She is still breathing but unconscious and bruised. Not only that, you find her rather familiar… In fact, she is one of the military officers you met a while back on an outpost.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1>Attempt to wake her up.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.c1>You nudge her in an attempt to wake her up but she remains unresponsive. </EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o1>Attempt to wake her up again.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o1.c1>You try to shake her to wake her up but she still remains unresponsive.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o1.o1>Slap her face to wake her up.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>You slap her as hard as you can across her face and all that does is leave a red handprint mark on her cheek. You get a feeling that she is out cold for good.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>Search her body to find something to wake her up.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>Do nothing and leave.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.c1>You search her and find a combat stimulant and a radio. You could try waking her by administering the stimulant or you could use the radio to call for help. Then again, with no one watching, you could steal her wallet and medicine.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1>Administer the combat stim on the officer.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.c1>A few seconds pass before she jolts up to a sitting position, with her hands up as if she is ready for another fist fight. However, she scans around the room before her unfocused eyes lock onto yours.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.c1>“Where’s Kumo?” She questions you directly while loosening her tense posture slightly.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1>“Who is Kumo?”</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.c1>“A separatist captain in gray uniform. Did you see her?” She inquires.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Yes. She ran away the moment she saw me.”</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“I see… That’s unfortunate.” She sighs while rubbing her temples to ease her headache.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“What happened here?”</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“I was trying to arrest her but I let my guard down at the last second… Didn't know her right hand was a bionic hand, so she managed to land a solid right hook to my jaw and knocked me out cold.” She replies.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Why were you trying to arrest her?”</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“She was part of my old crew and one of the missing members I was sent to track down. Personally, I have never worked with her before but based on what I can see, it seems like she’s gone back to siding with the separatists again.” She answers plainly.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“What is your plan now?”</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>“I have to inform the higher ups about this but for now, I need to gather my bearings. My head still hurts from the blow she dealt.” She responds calmly as she slowly gets up from the floor.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Do you need some help?”</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>She raises her hand to stop you as she replies, “I'm fine, I can handle it from here.”</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Alright, I'll leave you to it.”</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>She gives you a firm nod. Afterwards, she pulls out her radio and mutters something to it.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o2>“No. I saw no one when I arrived.”</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2>“A lady in captain uniform?”</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.c1>“Affirmative.” She responds.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1>“She ran away the moment I arrived.”</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o1.o1.o2.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o2>Use her radio to call for help.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o2.c1>You take her radio and call for assistance. It does not take long for a security officer to rush over to the scene.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o2.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o2.o1.c1>“What happened over here?” The security officer asks while checking on their unconscious comrade.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o2.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o2.o1.o1>”Someone knocked out this officer and ran as soon as they saw me approaching.”</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o2.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o2.o1.o1.c1>“Must be a strong opponent if she gets knocked out cold like that… And they even slapped her in the face. God damn.” The security remarks amusingly when they notice a reddish handprint on her cheek.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o2.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o2.o1.o1.o1.c1>“Anyway, I'll take over from here. Thank you for your help.” The security officer says.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o2.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o2.o1.o1.c2>“Damn… Must be a strong opponent if she gets knocked out cold like that…” The security officer comments.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o2.o1.o1.c2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o2.o1.o2>“I don't know. She was unconscious when I got here.”</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o2.o1.o2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o2.o1.o2.c1>“Okay… I guess we’ll ask the sarge when she wakes up. Anyway, you’re free to go, I’ll take over from here.” The security officer replies.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o2.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o3>Steal from the officer.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o3>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o3.c1>You keep the medicine and proceed to search her pockets again. Eventually, you manage to find her wallet and the money within. You quickly swipe the cash off the wallet and return the empty wallet back into her pockets.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o3.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o3.o1.c1>You promptly leave the room before anyone spots you.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o3.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o3.o1.c2>However, your actions have not gone unnoticed. “Hey! What are you doing!” A security guard yells at a distance. It is best to get away before they catch up to you.</EventText.sadashikira.o4.o1.o1.o2.o3.o1.c2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.c5>You see a well-dressed military officer sitting at a table with a bottle of liquor in her hand. She seems to be lost in her thoughts.</EventText.sadashikira.c5>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.c1>She snaps out of it when she notices you approaching her. "Hm? What is it?" The stern officer asks in a monotone voice.</EventText.sadashikira.o5.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1>"Are you a General?"</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.c1>"Negative, I am... Was a Commissar on board a submarine called Sorrowful. However, I recently resigned from my position." She answers, taking a swig of her liquor.</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1>"Commissar? As in a person in charge of the security department?"</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.c1>"Affirmative." She nods in acknowledgement.</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1>"Wait, then why did you resign from your job?"</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.c1>She pauses, before letting out a heavy sigh. "I have my own reasons... Especially after what I saw in the Eye of Europa..."</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1>"You've been to the Eye of Europa? What's in it?"</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>"We've been near but we did not enter it. An EMP shockwave hit our submarine and left us drifting in the abyss. I remember looking through the periscope... The glowing light and the visions it gave... It was as if death awaits for those who enters... Thankfully we managed to fix our submarine and docked onto the nearest outpost for safety."</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>"So, what's your plan now?"</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>"I don't know... I didn't think that far ahead." She answers rather honestly.</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>"Why not join us? We are planning to go to the Eye of Europa and we could use someone like you."</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>She slams the bottle of liquor onto the table. “Did you not hear what I just said? Dammit, why is everyone so obsessed with the Eye?”</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Come on, are you not curious about what's in the Eye?”</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>She seems to hesitate for a moment, before responding, “I am curious but is it really worth the risk?”</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“You never know, maybe the Eye has something that can obliterate the world? Don't you want to secure it?”</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>She gives you a hard stare as she replies seriously. “Hm… If there was a weapon capable of doing that, I would. However, I will not go after it with mere speculation.”</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Is there any way I can convince you to join us?”</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>She takes a swig of her drink and leans back slightly on her seat. “Negative. I have submitted my application to the HR manager, I’m sure someone from the coalition will give me a new assignment soon.”</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>“Oh well, it was nice meeting you.”</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>"Hold up, before you go.” She calls out, grabbing one of the bottles of alcohol from the table and offers it to you. “Here, take it. I'm not planning to finish all of these, so it's better to give it to someone else.”</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>Take the drink and thank her.</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>She gives you a nod and signals you to leave with her hand as she silently resumes her drinking.</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>Reject the drink.</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>“Hm… I guess it's not for everybody.” She mutters, placing the bottle back on the table. Before she resumes her drinking, she signals you to leave with her hand.</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>“Life without risk is not worth living, don’t you agree?”</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>The officer shakes her head at your remark. “Not everyone risks their life for amusement, some would prefer to live a life in peace. After all, I should know this since I risk my life every day in my line of work.”</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>“Well, good luck with your endeavors, I will take my leave.”</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>After bidding farewell, the officer returns to her drink. Yet, just as you depart, a clown inexplicably approaches the former commissar, pestering her with a toy hammer. It's hard not to feel sympathy for the officer, who seems unable to catch a break from the constant disruptions.</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o1.o1.o1.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o2>“Let me guess, your captain was probably called Sorrow because he was sad and depressed all the time?”</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o2.c1>The officer’s face maintains an expressionless look as she gives you an intimidating gaze. You got a feeling she will not reply to your remark.</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o2.c1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o2.o1>"No? Not funny? Anyway, why did you resign from your job?"</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o1.o2.o1>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o2>"Oh nothing ma'am, just passing by."</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o2>
  <EventText.sadashikira.o5.o2.c1>She acknowledges your comment and signals you to move along as she continues to drink her liquor.</EventText.sadashikira.o5.o2.c1>
