Escaping the S.S.S

(set: $name to (prompt: "You are playing as:", "Agent Croft")) (text-style:"smear")[Agent Croft,] Welcome to the S.S.S. A hospital that is currently housing over 100 gifted children and young adults. Your mission today is to locate all of the victims assigned to you by your agency and help them to escape. Each have been assigned specific room numbers which will be specified in your debriefing but only once so make sure you pay close attention. Godspeed. Exit here to the [[debriefing]] room.

You have been tasked with freeing 3 prisoners: [[Koa]] /located in room ''1B''. This'll be the easiest room to find and easiest extraction to execute. [[Xae]] /located in room ''7C'', this door is different from the others because the doorknob isn't shaped like the others. [[Archie]]/located in the basement level in door ''3Z''. Be careful when you're headed down here...there's a reason he's located in the lowest and most secretative level.

//You turn the door knob and enter the room and are welcomed with a pillow to the face. You scan the dark room to see where the blow came from and spot a petite figure curled up in a corner on the oppposite side of the room.// '' "I am here to help you escape," '' you say slowly walking towards the girl. You stop as the figure slowly raises her hand pulling your badge from your front pocket into her palm. (text-colour:"cyan")["Agent Croft.They didn't tell you we ~~are freaks~~ have special abilities did they?"] '' "We have to go," '' you say in response. (text-colour:"cyan")["Where to?"] '' "Room 7C." ''You say remembering you still need to find the other two. (text-colour:"cyan")["Xae. I know a route that'll get us there faster."] ^^Take [[Koa's way]], or go the long way to [[Xae's room]]?^^

//You decide to go Koa's route but you both stop abruptly as you hear something fast appraoching.// Koa mumbles something under her breath but before you can hear what she said a boy appears in front of you. (text-colour:"cyan")["Archie."] He ignores your bewildered stare and turns to Koa,(text-colour:"orange")[ "C'mon Koa we gotta get out of here,"] says Archie and he grabs Koa by the hand and gestures Xae to move ahead of them. '"What about me?"' (text-colour:"orange")["What about you"] questions Archie. (text-colour:"orange")["Who the hell are you?"] As he approaches you the putrid smell of copper and sweat stings the inside of your nostrils. '"I-I'm an agent I was assigned this mission to retreive you, Koa, and Xae."' (text-colour:"orange")["And why should I trust you,"] Archie says between clenched teeth as his eyes begin to glow red. '"I have some important info on your sister Archie."' (text-colour:"orange")[Who? My sister? Koa?"] //Your eyes widen as the realization hits you...she's (text-style:"blur")[ the weapon]...(click-replace: " the weapon")[his sister, Koa.]// //You struggle to keep your composure after learning this imformation. Your train of thought is immediately interrupted when you hear footsteps headed your way.// You run down the hall and enter the [[left]] door. Archie sucks his teeth but decides to follow you along with Koa and Xae.

//You finally reach two unmarked doors. You were told the door numbers in the debriefing but it doesn't seem to matter now. Which door are you picking?// //Behind the [[right]] door you can hear someone talking, maybe thinking aloud making an escape plan?// //On the [[left]] door a bright red button is blinking. Usually when you see a bright red button that's a no go. Which will it be?//

//You reach a gate that is being guarded by two henchmen and lock eyes with one.// (text-style: "emboss")["Hey who goes there?"] The same guard belts into your general direction. You decided to... (t8n-depart: "flicker")+(t8n-depart: "shudder")[[Reveal yourself]] Turn back and head to [[Koa]].

You've run into some trouble...that talking you overheard turns out to be one of the workers drawing blood from another victim, one you weren't assigned. ^^You have two choices.^^ Try and [[save them]] or look for to [[Archie]]?

//You've located Xae! He runs up to the door and pushes past you sending you flying into the wall behind you.// '' "Sorry. I thought you were one of them."'' ''"It's okay. We gotta get going,"'' you struggle to get back on your feet. ''"Koa,"'' Xae exclaims as his eyes widen at the girl before him. ''"How'd you get out?"'' ^^Choose the answer that applies:^^ * "[[Archie helped me escape]]." * "[[Agent Croft]]."

(alert:"Beyond this point, things get serious. Watch your back and keep your eyes peeled.") //You step out revealing yourself and to your surprise the gates are open and guards aren't there.// ''"Hello?"'' Nothing. You take a closer look and see the two guards on the ground, their blood staining the cement. You decided to continue advancing past the gates to room 3Z anyways. Once you reach Archie's room you see the door is off its hinges and and Archies missing. Go in? (click: "Go in?")[You go in to inspect the room finding no traces of someone living here. Everything is tidied up and in its respective place. Continue looking?] (click: "Continue looking?")[You continue inspecting the area more when suddenly you feel the hairs on your neck stand up. Slowly turning around you see a dark figure where the door once was. [[Confront it?]]] Turn back to [[Koa]].

//As the three of you head towards the end of the hall in search of an exit you hear footsteps coming towards you.// You continue to [[run]] You stay back and [[fight the threat]].

//Just as you're about to barge in an unrecognizable figure wizzes by.// You decide to [[check it out]].

//You take a shakey step forward and the figure wizzes off.// ^^You choose to:^^. Look for [[Koa]].

//As you're headed in the same direction the blur went you hear heavy footsteps approaching.// (text-colour:"yellow")["Archie wait up man what the hell!"] a male voice shouts from behind you. It's safe to assume it's Xae. (text-colour:"yellow") ["How're you gonna free me and leave me with this loser?"] The incomprehensible figure bolts back giving you a nasty grimace before taking off with Xae. You decide to head to [[Koa]].

* (text-colour:"cyan")[Archie helped me escape,"] she says. (click: "Archie helped me escape")[Archie steps out, revealing himself.] (text-colour:"orange")[C'mon Koa... Xae, we gotta get out of here,"] says Archie and he grabs Koa by the hand and gestures Xae to move ahead of them. '"What about me?"' (text-colour:"orange")[What about you" questions Archie. "Who the hell are you?"] As he approaches you the putrid smell of copper and sweat stings the inside of your nostrils.'"I-I'm an agent I was assigned this mission to retreive you, Koa, and Xae."' (text-colour:"orange")["And why should I trust you,"] Archie says between clenched teeth as his eyes begin to glow red. '"I have some important info on your sister Archie."' (text-colour:"orange")["My sister? Koa?"] //Your eyes widen as the realization hits you...she's the weapon...(click-replace: "the weapon")[his sister, Koa.]// //You struggle to keep your composure after learning this imformation. Your train of thought is immediately interrupted when you hear footsteps headed your way.// '"Lets go. Now.'" Archie sucks his teeth but decides to follow you along with Koa and Xae. You all [[run]] the opposite direction of the sound.

"Agent Croft," she says as she points directly at you, her finger almost touching your face. (click: "Agent Croft")[You nod your head and signal that it's time [[to go]].]

//You finally reach two unmarked doors. You were told the door numbers in the debriefing but it doesn't seem to matter now. You decide to go into the [[left]] door that displays a button blinking bright red.//

//Before you can see the bodies of the enemies you see their bullets barellling your way. Everything seems to be moving in slow motion as you wait for the tiny pieces of steel to impale you. 1...2...3...4...5 seconds go by-// (text-colour:"orange")["Koa stop playing with their bullets and stop them already."] (text-colour:"cyan")["Sorry I couldn't stop laughing at the look on Agent Soft's face." she says as she recotchets the bullets w the flick of her hand.] //At the end of the hall, past the dozen now dead soldiers a tungsten metal door awaits you all.// (text-colour:"orange")["Koa, your hand."] Koa and her brother Archie lock hands. His eyes start to glow a furious red and soon after lazer beams begin to shoot out of them slicing throught the impenetrable door. Does he know what she is? Does he know shes a weapon? ''"Why'd you need Koa to cut through that door?"'' You ask, investigating his knowledge. (text-colour:"orange")["She's my good luck charm. I'm always stronger when she's around."] You knod your head and resume threw the door which leads to [[hall 1]]

//At the end of hall one you are welcomed with a single ray of sunlight bleeding through a rusty metal door. As you near it you all realize it's the exit.// //You smile at the three teens grateful that you all made it out alive and wouldn't have if it wasn't for all of their help.// //Just as the helicopter set in place to pick you all up arrives Koa is shot 8 times, the same amount of letters that occupy what she really is. (click-replace: "catalyst")[weapon] A catalyst...//

You reach the end of a hall and fall right into a trap. You're presented with two options. (dropdown: bind _origin, "Die", "Surrender")

//Hall 2 brings you face to face with about a dozen security guards but you choose to stick around and [[fight the threat]].//

In front of you all there are 3 halls, each leading to a different fate. one leads to the exit, (mouseover: "exit")[hall 1] another leads to a hall full of guards, (mouseover: "guards")[hall 3] and the other is simply a dead end, (mouseover: "dead end")[hall 2] ^^whic one will it be?^^ [[hall 1]] [[hall 2]] [[hall 3]]
