Agent 7 dusted his hands off and paused behind cover, waiting for his stungun to recharge. The unconscious forms of about six guards littered the floor in front of him. A quiet beep sounded as the stungun reached full charge, and Agent 7 vaulted over the table he was hiding behind and moved over to the bodies. He searched them for interesting items, but found only their weapons.
"These things look pretty lethal. Guess I'll have to pitch 'em. Too bad, they looked pretty neat."
Agent 7 discarded the semiautomatic laser rifles; he wanted to complete his mission, not have an impressive body count. Violence was something he abhorred, and it was unfortunate that he had to use it on such a regular basis. He strode on into the hallway the spider creature had fled through. A few quick sweeps left and right revealed it to be empty, and he chose to turn left (the right end having little more than a wall). Doors lined the sides of the passage, but after he found the first few were locked he decided to ignore them altogether. It was unlikely anything important was inside them, anyway.
He had nearly reached the end of the hallway when he heard the sound of a door opening behind him. He spun around - only slightly overshooting it this time - and saw a young human boy leaving one of the offices.
"Hey, that's the Hector fellow I saw near the start of this segment! He has to be important."
Agent 7 advanced carefully, holding his stungun out in front of him. Hector paused in surprise when he saw the midget fishman walking up to him. The dialog wheel appeared under Agent 7, and the cursor hesitated only slightly before turning to "Why shouldn't I kill you?"
"Give me one reason I shouldn't kill you where you stand," Agent 7 snarled at Hector, ignoring the raven squawking irritably at him from Hector's shoulder.
