Room 2

[The room, once you've entered it, has a number of ear buds laid out on a table.]

Now, pop those ear buds in and we'll begin the test! Failure to comply will result in desyncing and forcing your team to pay for a replacement body.

You work for the government too? Your government, that is.

[threateningflour]

Yes. To defend the country and the world from threats.

[thirtysteps]

But not the army, just... an agency. A department.

[threateningflour]

Not an army but we're trained for combat.

[thirtysteps]

Do people know of your existence outside of the administration?

[threateningflour]

Only those we approach. We're not secret but we're not well known either.

[thirtysteps]

That aids you in fighting terrorism, I would expect.

[threateningflour]

Yes.

I see you work for the government as well.

[thirtysteps]

Yes, but in what appears to be a very different capacity than you.

[threateningflour]

We dabble in the shadier aspects.

[thirtysteps]

Does that aspect of your job have an impact on any other aspects of your life?

[threateningflour]

As in relationships?

[thirtysteps]

Yes - at home? Here?

[threateningflour]

I had a girlfriend. We're kind of separated now. Here, not so much.

[thirtysteps]

Ah. Oh, another question - do you have anyone you know on your team? It seems to be common.

[threateningflour]

I do. He's not here though.

[thirtysteps]

Would it have been preferable if he was?

[threateningflour]

I don't think so.

[thirtysteps]

Mind if I ask why?

[threateningflour]

More secrets to guess. Higher chances of deadly neurotoxin.

[thirtysteps]

Strictly business, and nothing personal.

[threateningflour]

Yes.
