"Ack! Zis is impossible! How could you get here? Zis is un top-secret base! HOW ZE HELL ARE YOU IN ZE SECRET BASE?!!?" The Automaton replies flatly, "We used seismic warheads to detect an anomaly in the rock. Then, all we had to do is blast a hole." I turn to the scientists. "Quick! Give me ze recipe! I can escape!" They slowly begin to shake their heads. "Vat? Why? I vill escape with ze plans, then bust you two out of ze prison! Zen, you can unleash your plan on ZE WORLD!" They peel off their masks, revealing a Troll and a Werecat. "Well damn!" I say, discarding the fake German accent. "So, it seems we've all been fooled," says the Cockatrice, slowly walking forward. I make a quick motion at the Cockatrice and, true to her nature, she runs outta there like a speeding bullet. "Well, almost completely fooled. There's one thing that ISN'T fake. And that's my promise to escape!" I take about twelve running steps to the door, and the Automaton ruptures the thick metal door with a flurry of shots. "Thanks! I needed that open!" I yell, jumping through the hole and into the labyrinth of corridors, hallways, ladders and stairways. Life on board the Trieste has perfected my sense of direction, and I head straight for the secret exit. An explosion behind me signals that the Automaton has locked on to me. I take a look back and see her rising into the air, then jump through the chute. I emerge through a dumpster behind a house and flick a switch on the side. It comes alive with specially-engineered Gremlin tech, and I leave the scene. "When and if that Automaton goes through that chute, she'll probably never make it outta that dumpster. At least by herself...." I fade into the early-morning crowd.
