Using the grande launcher, Missed ignores the panicked fire from the arena as the chopper starts lowering down. She fires the device towards the stage and lands the perfect shot by Gloriana's lifeless head. The reflection shines up at the DVFP secop…
Cinch, you cue up your systems while Mimi slaps a clip into her assault rifle and pops the hatch. While you're heading into the Arena, you see the chopper. June, as Missed takes careful aim with your relay, you see it, too.
It's a gunboat, a serio…
Motley,
"Fug no, we aint clearin' out!" Quiet Riot says as the chopper comes closer. She charges for the stage and the other Crue follow, some of them firing at the chopper. "Aint leavin' without you! You don't get Early Release alone, you asshole…
Lala peers into this poser's mind and you pierce the darkness to walk into his inner sanctum. You find a twin of the man you drag through, but he sits at a workstation, peering into a series of computer monitors and viewscreens, watching the Arena, …
Cinch, with Mimi following you, you're able to take a back exit out to your car. You see the chopper in the sky overhead by the time your car is in sight. She's already purring for you. People are streaming out of the arena like rats abandoning a bu…
The Fat Man falls to the cool tiled floor as you berate him. He raises his hands in a feeble gesture for you to relent, but you won't relent. You demand answers, and he is the weaker one. With trembling lips, he confesses, "My.... my brother. He cal…
Gloriana's cruel gaze shatters when the bullet pierces her surgically perfected face. Even the blood spray is a kind of beautiful as her head rocks back. She falls backwards onto the white baby grand piano, her body shifts once, amid the tumult, wha…
Sierra, you cover yourself and the world slams back into reality, people below you blink and start looking around, some screaming in exaltation, others trying to get back to what they're doing, some call your name plaintively. You hear gunfire, and …
Sierra covers herself and the world slams back into reality, people looking around, some screaming in exaltation, others trying to get back to what they're doing. You hear gunfire above, and people in the stadium floor react with panic. Sierra's lea…
"This one's not your father, Gigg. He's the bait. The dupe. The lure." She snarls, "He's a tool. Use him to get what you want, the real Fat Man."
The Fat Man, of course, doesn't hear this, he's still waiting waiting for you to stop talking to some…
Sweat beads off his brow, and this poor fugger knows he's in trouble. He is still pulled by Sierra, but he "hears" you, too. Maybe he thinks it's Sierra, maybe he knows you're doing this. He answers quickly in his mind, the exfiltration plan coming …
He holds up his hands, "That pimp? Sure, Gigg, sure. He won't hold it. He couldn't even protect The Irons, no way he can keep The Depot. But what happens after that? We're even, right?"
Gloriana snarls at Fleece, then looks to you, "One last time, Sierra. I'm asking you one last time. I will murder everyone here before I let you turn your back on me." Reese and Becket have aim on her, Sierra, but she doesn't seem to take notice, Gl…
Rothschild hustles to strip down the nearest null-man, pulling off her cloak and grabbing some stuff off her belt. She's gaping up at Sierra, even moves to help Rothschild strip her down, eager to be free of the troublesome clothing.
Cinch and June…
"Sierra!" Fleece calls from behind you. You see her come up the ladder behind Reese, then move closer. She looks at Gloriana for a long moment, then back to you, "You don't need her. Your home's here. With... with your friends."
Gloriana watches you move forward, anxiously awaits the touch, the embrace. But you stop. Her eyes shift ever so slightly, not into outright anger, but her voice is tight when she says, "You've ensnared me with your trap, See See. I'm ruined as a Su…
"See See," Gloriana utters your name gently, the quietude of this place affecting her. She's released from your spell, you know. But still. She moves across the table and you can feel Beckett training her with her gun, hear Reese heading around to t…
The Fat Man searches your eyes, sees the hurt, the loss. He tentatively offers, "Listen, Gigg. The Palace... it's still there. You want back in? You just... just name it. I can f-f-fix things. You don't need to hate me anymore."
He reaches a hand …
June
Rothschild turns to look up at you, June, worry on her face along with confusion. She's never seen anything like this. "What the fug? June, can you see me?"
You also spot Reese and Becket moving at the ground of the arena, but the rest of t…
Sierra,
Reese and Beckett are moving through the crowd. Reese calls out your name, Sierra, looks like he's going to climb up to you. Beckett pulls out a pistol, aims it up at Gloriana. She meets your eyes, asking the question, "do I shoot her?"
Wha…
He flinches at the fake. Then you're talking, and he relaxes just a little, until you pour on the menace, then he averts his gaze. Raises his hands defensively, palms towards you, "Listen. That's just... how the DVFP works. Someone's gotta be the Bi…
June and Cinch, Sierra removes some of her dress, commands the world to halt, and they do.
June, you feel the pull, the tension of the leash, but Sierra lets it go. Everyone around you, save Roth, Reese and Becks are transfixed.
Cinch, you're wrap…
Sierra, the world. Stops. The Feed is enraptured. Only four people in the arena are unfettered. Gloriana lands lightly on the piano, then drops gracefully down to sit. To watch you. Her pet performing.
What do you do?
Motley, you hear gunfire all …
