Who: YOU
Where: Game Tower
When: Day 111, Evening which is the best time to go CLUBBING

[Today you step out of the elevator, but as soon as you do, you’ll find yourself falling into a room that is basically a giant ball pit but with balloons. Trying to move around is a pain in the ass and might require a little swimming. Left is on the holo screens looking really proud of himself. You can see exactly what he's thinking:

What a genius. What a professional. Dang.

Like last time, the music is really loud and fast, and might remind you of the arcade a little bit. They match up with the crazy strobe lights that seem to be pulsating all around you.

It might make your heart race.]

...hey. Hey, don't - s-stay still, you're gonna make them worse.

Not possible.

...yeah. I mean, point, but - it's gotta hurt more, moving around, right?

Just, like - take five for a sec and let em close up.

And amass more people around me.

Pass.

[Still trying to get up]

[Hesitates - offers him a hand.]

...let's get you out of here, then.

[Congratulations, Hurricane. You are actually one of the few people he will accept a helping hand from.]

You and yours survive?

[Helps pull him to his feet.]

...yeah. We made it.

Good.

[Though the fact that there are 6 newly revived units in the Game Tower is a little unsettling]

Sure one of them don't need your help.

This isn't my first rodeo.

Doesn't mean it doesn't still suck trying to ride a horse that wants to stomp your head in.

Come with me to the hotel after I collect everyone? I'd invite you in but that went spectacularly bad last time.

...yeah. Yeah, sure.

[He hesitates - hesitates longer.]

Full disclosure. We, uh. We hit you guys.

You'd be in the minority if you didn't.

...it's still BS.

You play with the hand your dealt.

And you're the one that has to live with the consequences of it.

...yeah. Still, I -

I owe you one, okay? Whatever you want.

You -- and I do mean you and not your unit -- do not owe me a single goddamn thing.

If that's what you need for your closure, I'll think of something suitably awful.

Do your worst, dude. I'm all yours.

[Hurricane.

Buddy.]

I'll call on you in a couple of days. I'm going to need some help scavenging pieces from some of our newer, more high tech community locations.

You got it. Just say when.

I take it you're not going back to Heart Soldier?

...yeah. Probly gonna steer clear for a little bit.

Do you have a place to stay?

Yeah. Me and Nem are gonna hang out at Zrael for the night.

I see.

Then we'll talk later.

...lemme walk you home, at least.
