Agent 7 kicked open the double doors and found himself in an expansive foyer. It was mostly empty, save for a few tables, but there were two strange creatures in it. One had the general shape of a centaur, but it was covered in copper-colored scales instead of fur, and in general looked more like a curved lizard than anything else. The other was a blue-furred orb suspended about half a foot off of the ground by four thin, spindly, single-jointed legs, which branched almost straight up from its main body, then bent at a sharp angle to meet the floor. They appeared to be engaged in a conversation of some sort, but Agent 7 couldn't make out what they were saying. The lizard creature was speaking in a very distorted, drawling version of his own language that erased all meaning from the sentences, and the one with the spindly legs chittered back in response in a high-pitched voice.
Agent 7 moved forward, and was spotted by the lizard creature, who raised an arm and spoke something in surprise. The creature with the spindly legs turned around, rotating the blue orb that composed most of its body in place, to reveal a series of layered red slits that Agent 7 realized must be its eyes. The lizard jabbed at an intercom on the wall and began speaking into it, eyes flitting frantically between it and Agent 7.
"Oh no you don't, you're not radioing in for security on my watch, pal!"
Agent 7 fired several stungun shots at the lizard creature, and it fell to the ground, unconscious. The spidery creature let out a series of chitters, nudging the lizard with one leg, then looked fearfully back at Agent 7. The spy was already aiming his stungun at it, and it let out some more frightened chitters and darted off, legs clicking on the stone floor. Stungun shots whizzed over its head, but luck was with the spider, and none of them landed. Agent 7 mentally cursed his shaky aim.
"Cripes, that thing was fast!"
Without warning, a bolt of energy crackled over Agent 7's head. "That was your one and only warning shot! Now drop your weapon and put your hands behind your head!" Agent 7 noticed several armed security personnel filing in from the other end of the room, and kicked over a table and put his back to it, carefully peeking out around the edge.
The Player cursed. "No fair! Why is security here? I interrupted the call! This game cheats!"
