MOAR INFODUMP MS. EXPOSITION!
"Huh?" She doesn't quite understand the question.
"You're working for you. What's in it for you, going back in with me, like you're doing right now, with someone who is saving hostages from highly deadly traps?"
"Oh. That. Two things. One, I want to know what a null- from Chicago, of all places!- is doing a SELKIE CRYSTAL. Two, the Redcap took my REVOLVER and my DUSTER, and I'd like to get them back- it's a long, annoying, PAINFUL process to make them from SCRATCH."
You toss her a 1911. "Here."
"All well and good, you Chicago boys can make CORDITE in your back yards. If it weren't such a pain to transport I would have STOLEN that NITRO and FASHIONED SOME CORDS- it's PRETTY RARE in the REST OF THE PLANET. As it stands though, I'd rather have my REVOLVER BACK."
"... Well now I feel like a bonehead."
"Don't, we probably would have gone a day before your OVERWATCH killed us both," she nods
"How do you-"
"It's not exactly rare knowledge, Harold... Um. Three behind here. Feel that?"
"... Yeah." Hm. This door is locked, too! You start to issue a WARRANT but Alice scoots ahead.
"I've got this." She pulls out a PAIR OF HAIRPINS and CASUALLY OPENS THE LOCK IN THREE SECONDS.
This room just seems to have them tied up, no BOMB. Just what are your SQUADMATES doing!?
HOSTAGES RESCUED: 8/???
Items Identified: -- SELKIE CRYSTAL
You follow the TRACKS to a LARGE VEIN INTERSECTION. Wow, that is a lot of hostages. Wow, that's a lot of POCK MARKS everywhere in the walls. wake up
Knowing full well that this could easily be a trap, you unsling your TYPEWRITER and walk in ready to make some noise.
... That's a lot of FAMILIARS.
... That's a lot of MACHINE GUNS.
... That's a lot of RATE OF FIRE.
And worse, you're in a CROSSFIRE. If they all open fire at once, there is no question, you are as DEAD as your BULLET RIDDLED MINION ON THE FLOOR WHO TRIED TO RUN PAST THEM EARLIER.
