((Flashing Lights Warning))

[As the cart is finally delivered to the test chamber, “Barni’s” hands shake nervously while pushing the cart.]

“It’s fine…it’s fine…it’s fine…”

[The Sample enters the laser, orange changes to green, becoming brighter and erratic.]

>> BARNI! GET AWAY FROM THE BEAM!

‘Shutting down! Attempting shut down…it’s not…it’s not shutting down! It’s not-!’

>> COME’ON CALARTS!!!

[The chamber doors remain sealed shut. Barni and Odin cannot escape, both are struck down with scorching hot beams of radiation.]

[hlcevr-tech-support]

“Well…here goes nothing.”

[The air is tense, both in the game and outside of it. This moment is inevitable, but that doesn’t make it any less stressful for the person that has to let history unfold.]

[hlcevr-tech-support]

They’re wait for you Barni. I n the TEST Chamberrrrr

“OH SHIT THE TEST CHAMBERRRRR!”

>> Race you to the Observation Room, kid!

“Nooooooo!!! No race! I can’t run good!”

>> You’d better catch up, Calarts!

“Wait uuuuup!”

[Lydia doesn’t seem interested in waiting, she even jumps down the elevator shaft instead of waiting with Odin. How bold.]

[hlcevr-tech-support]

Lydia what are you going to do if Feetman isn’t here?

>> I dunno. I heard they were doing a test on this side of the building, maybe I’ll sneak in to watch that.

“That’s where I’m gonna be!!! I get to push a rock into lasers!”

>> Oh shit, for real? Good luck pushing that rock, kiddo.

[hlcevr-tech-support]

Tjey’re waiting for you Barni!!!

in the TEST champberrrrr

“Tjey’re.”

>> Tjey’re.

>> Tjey’re.

>> Oh, grow up. They spelled it wrong, so what?

>> Tjey’re!!!

[hlcevr-tech-support]

Hey Lydia watch this

._. /: .-. :/ ._.

Pretty cool cartwheel right

[Lydia popped out from wherever she was hiding to watch!]

>> HELL YEAH! CARTWHEELS! I CAN DO THAT TOO!

>> H’YUP!

“Woah! Both of those cartwheels looked real intense.”

>> Woah! Let’s be careful, now! This is a cramped hallway!

>> Heheh! Still got it! And they said I couldn’t keep kicking ass at 42!

[hlcevr-tech-support]

> HELL YEAH YET ANOTHER PURPLE WOMAN! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

>> Purple’s a good color!

“It really is!”

“But uh…aren’t you worried that wearing purple will defeat the purpose of blending into the dark?”

>> Nope! Historically accurate ninjas wore blue! And purple is pretty close to blue, and being a black op is close enough to being a ninja…

[hlcevr-tech-support]

I guess I should be in-character, huh?

…

“Oh man…I am so late for work. And now I’ve been redirected to the Anomalous Materials Lab!!!…”

“…”

“AND PROM IS TOMORROW!!!!!”

“Why are you yelling at me?? If you want me to lead everybody out you could have just asked nicely. The scientist over there wants us to get outta here to find help anyways…”

[hlcevr-tech-support]

“Huggggs. Hugs for Ellie.”

[hlcevr-tech-support]

Odin? Birdwell? Lydia? Ellie?

“Hellooooooo?”

>> Barni? Dear god, son. We all thought you were a goner. You completely disappeared from the Test Chamber…

>> Thank god. Are you okay?

“I’m fine. Are you guys okay?”

>> Nobody here is hurt, thankfully. Ellie’s absolutely terrified though.

>> I WANNA GO HOOOOOME!

“Ah geez. Come here kiddo.”

[hlcevr-tech-support]

EVERYTHING’S GOING TO HELL TIME TO FUCK SHIT UP!

“Tiiiiiime to fuck shit up!!!”

[hlcevr-tech-support]

“Workin’ on it. Gotta get past the doors.”

[hlcevr-tech-support]

Hey man is Odin okay??? He was in the chamber with you right?

“ODIN MY FRIEND ODIN!!! I don’t see him anywhere…I should probably get outta the test chamber to find him.”

[hlcevr-tech-support]

Oh sweet you've got skin now. Congrats

...Uh, I mean, it seems like we're getting a better view of what you look like, glad you look unharmed?

Heheh. Got skin now… “I know right??? I don’t have a helmet or anything! I should be like…DEAD! But I’m NOT!!”
