Eugene blinks. "Wait...I forgot to give you a map? Opps...My mistake, seems that I kind of got caught in the moment there. As you can see, the generators are supposedly giving energy to this location. However, something hasn't quite added up. We should have seen more than just a blinking light, especially when the second generator went down. My theory is that there are either hidden generators, or they simply have no effect at all. Someone, or "thing" I should say, gave me incorrect schematics, and it has been difficult to extract more information. Before you criticize me though, I do have a backup. While searching through the database, I came across a hacker using the alias 'Hex5'. At first, I simply stayed away from him, however, I think I will go and meet him now, as he claimed to have important information. I would advise that you continue with Dem on those generators, and see if destroying them has weakened whatever that mass is there (Obviously, pointing to the place which is taking energy from the generators). Anyways, I'm going to be late, stay safe and keep in touch." He jolts out the room.
As he is walking, he thinks to himself. "Right, this probably seems like you're a complete idiot. It is obviously a trap intended for you, but they don't realize what I have in mind..."
----------------------------------------------------
Eugene walks into a dark room. Upon entrance, it lights up, revealing a man in a bizarre jacket sitting on a chair. Eugene smirks. "Hex5 I take it? Now that you've 'Got me in your little trap', let's start talking about what you actually intend to do."
The man looks surprised. "If you knew it was a trap, why did you come? We could very well just have done this to kill you."
Eugene's eyes twinkle with brilliance. "Well, we both know that you could have attempted to kill me long before this. Come now, the false schematics, the 'virus' that seemed to work until your protocols were actually needed. No, you knew exactly where I was the whole time. The only reason you've contacted me now is that you need something from me."
"Clever boy. I guess you aren't as stupid as you sound."
"A foolish man would actually get angry at that pathetic excuse for an insult. Even I could 'diss' myself better than you."
"So then, here we are..."
"Here's how I see it. We can either fight to see who comes out. You, most likely, after I kill your lackeys hiding in the shadows there (The man is a little shocked that Eugene actually noticed this). Or, we can come to an arrangement."
"This isn't a negotiation."
"Oh, but it is." His nodes immediately pop out, an electrical surge bursts from them, and travels along the edges of the circular room. An assortment of men drop to the floor dead.
"Right then, I MIGHT consider negotiating."
"Your offer?"
"You work for us, we don't kill you, and actually consider allowing you to join us."
"That the best you can do? We both know you wont really consider me."
"No, but I find that in my position, I can...bend the rules a bit..."
"Well?"
The man pauses for a bit.
"We'll give you a trial run, and see if you actually work with us. If you can prove your loyalty, then you're in. But, you don't get any access to anything unless we tell you to. You'll be constantly monitored, and kept on a close leash."
"Keep your allies close, and your enemies even closer, ey?"
"Are we agreed?"
"I don't really have much of a choice now do I? I will expect some answers."
"I'll think about it."
