Chapter Text
Awakening once again, to bright lights and on an uncomfortable table, the Player awakes after another failed run. They don’t remember how many times this has happened. ████ times? █ ████████? Does it matter at this point? Same song, same dance. New body, same mind.
“Welcome back EXR-P,” says the Urbanshade agent, “Seems you have failed, again.”
“How far did I get this time?” asks the Player.
“Room 83,” answers the agent, “Congratulations! You beat your record of 81!”
The Player went quiet. Progress, but that doesn’t mean a lot compared to how many times they have gone through this.
They immediately got up and were already heading towards the door.
“Woah! Slow down there tiger!” The agent blocks the door quickly. “Mr. Shade has some news to share with you.”
The Player is very concerned. Has Mr. Shade decided they weren’t usable anymore? Was this the day they were to be ████████ of? Even still, they had no choice, but to sit back on the table.
The agent brought out a recorder. Of course, Mr. Shade isn’t gonna show himself in person. The recording started:
“EXR-P, we cannot thank you enough for the progress you have allowed us to make. Before you, the EXR-E’s were never able to get past room 37, but you have allowed us to make it up to room 81.”
“However, as much as we appreciate this accomplishment, you have been having some setbacks and your progress to go farther is rather slow. We need to secure the crystal as soon as we can.”
“We have decided to add a new factor this next run.”
The Player was already frightened and upset. So they are going to ███████ them?
“We are sending another eight people. You are still one of them. However, we have found an individual that may help you push further: EXR-R.”
The Player sighed in relief. They were still being used. However, it still worried them about another individual. Did they make another Player?
“We expect to see this run make progress or, in the best case scenario, secure the crystal. However, this is your last chance. If we see no improvement or see decrease in progress, then we will replace you.”
The Player went pale.
“Do not let us down. The future of Urbanshade and Scientific Discovery is in your hands.”
The recording stopped. They sat in silence for a bit before asking the agent:
“Why didn’t he tell me the name of this ‘individual’? Shouldn’t I know the name?”
The agent just shrugged. “Classified information.”
The Player sighed.
“So, what do you plan to do this time ██████?” The agent asked.
“Just try to get these idiots farther and find out who this new EXR-R is, especially if I got to get them to improve in one run,” explained the Player.
“Are you going to reveal who you really are? Maybe your real name, instead of the fake name ██████?” The agent seemed to be the inquisitive one.
“Nah, better to make them think I’m normal like them. Also, I’m thinking about retiring that name for a new one.” Responds EXR-P.
The agent raised an eyebrow. “And what new name are you going to use?”
Player smiled.
“You’ll find out in the report”
Randall █ Purpura has been convicted of the crimes of ██████ in the █████ degree: The ██████ of ███████ and ████████ Purpura. He was caught attempting to ████ ███ ███ ████ ██ ███████ and was taken to the nearest hospital, █████████ Hospital. He was not convicted on the spot due to his injuries. It wasn’t until he was seen outside of hospital, reported by ██████████ █████, that it was found out he had gotten better and was released from the hospital, ███ ████ since the ███████ had happened. He was swiftly apprehended and was finally convicted. However, his attitude seemed to change. He went from anxious ████████ to two changing attitudes: one cold and creepy, and the other with a god complex.
██████████ has served the Life Sentence
Tate Frost, after over a ██████ of his ████████, has been convicted on the █████ degree of ██████ in all states. It is suspected that his ███████ █████ started in his home state, █████████, with the murder of his highschool sweetheart, ███████ █████. It is believed it was an accident in rage, but he didn’t stop. He would use his charisma to convince his victims to trust him, both male and female. He would have ███████████ with his victims, then show his true colors by tying them up. He took days to ███████ and ██████ them for his ████████. When he would finally ███████ of them, the bodies would be found missing ██████████ and it is believe he would save them to ███████ later. He was finally caught in ██████████.
██████████ has served the Death Penalty
Their crimes and sentences are irrelevant
Today, three men from the Urbanshade Corporation, being escorted by heavily armed guards, arrived at the prison. They were searching for draftees to help them receive a crystal of sorts, a highly important asset that they were unable to secure during a major security breach in one of the facilities. They stated the risk of death was high, but whoever could receive the asset and return it to them, would be pardoned, released with a clear record and receive ███████ in cash.
Many fellow inmates signed up.
