==>SHOUT HELLO BACK
BONNIE: Hello?
Where the hell is that voice coming from? It sounds distorted, like the speaker is under water.
???: Bonnie. We've been looking for you all over.
Oh, fuck. You recognize that voice. It's KADETH, one of the leaders of the Brotherhood.
You can feel Kadeth's mental presence in the back of your mind. It's weaker than it usually is, but after so many days of nothing you're so relieved you could cry.
BONNIE: Look through my eyes.
Thanks to White-ant, you're used to the feeling of someone else looking through your eyes, but they inhabit your body. This is different. To use a weak metaphor: it's like someone else driving, while you are also driving, in the same physical place, except they're not trying to take control, they're just there. Despite the weirdness, though, it's the quickest way for you to explain where you are.
Kadeth blinks your eyes.
KADETH: It's very blue.
BONNIE: I know. More importantly, do you know where this is?
KADETH: You seem to be somewhere near the river, by the artificial island. I know that's not very helpful, but you were silent, and now I can hear you, if faintly. Do you think you could break the window?
You shake your head.
BONNIE: I can climb onto the desk, but it's too small.
There's also the risk you could break the laptop, or the lamp, and you'd feel bad for doing that.
The grandfather clock tolls in the other room, and you realize you now have two hours left until the guards change.
KADETH: Strange, that the light is already on.
BONNIE: It's not?
Do you check out the laptop?
More importantly, do you enter the room?
