Chapter 11: Ch. 10 – Gameover

We finally arrive in front of what seems to be the office building of the military facility.

“We’re here”, says Jack, “now go in there and get your OKs. Well, my part is done, so see you later”, he runs off before I've even answered.

(He totally forgot to wait until I’m actually IN the building. I can still run off, you moron!)

I enter the building and look around.

I see a middle-aged woman at the desk mulling over some papers, she seems ready to rip someone’s head off because they forgot to dot an i. At the other end of the room are two soldiers desperately looking for some documents in a couple of cabinets.

“Uh, excuse me, Jack told me you wanted to see an unaccounted for silver elf. Here I am?”
“What? Oh, right ...did Jack run off already?”, if looks could kill we’d have to hold a funeral for Jack now, “that’s typical of him. Do us all a favor and DON’T mingle with him. The world can’t handle two of that type. Now give me a minute I need to finish this.”

She fills in a few more fields on a sheet in front of her then starts shouting “ok, done. CARLA!”

One of the soldiers runs over, “here’s your corrected form, now off with you to the captain.”
“Sorry, haven’t found your other document”, she counters.
“Well, that is not your problem anymore but thanks for trying. Before you leave, can you quickly fetch the last truth crystal from the supplies and bring it to me?”
“Sure.”

The office lady addresses the remaining soldier, “Ted, you can leave as well”; he salutes and leaves.

(Life, there are more names than just ‘Ted’!)
(You’re just salty that ‘Ted 1’ died under your watch.)

Finally, she turns to me, “ok, follow me to the backroom, the needed equipment is there.”

She grabs a couple of papers from a drawer and we go to the appointed room. Yeah, this totally looks like a stereotypical interrogation room.

She sits down on one side of the table and points me towards the chair on this side, “I’m Therese and I’ll be handling this case. Well, case is a bit much. I just have to ask you a couple of routine questions and verify the answers with the truth gem I asked Carla to fetch. I mostly need to make sure you’re neither a criminal nor another kind of dangerous entity.”
“If there’s any chance of me being dangerous why are you alone in here with me? Shouldn’t you have some more people to take me down if needed?”
“Trust me, if there was someone I can’t take on my own none of the available soldiers in this fortress would matter either. With the commander out of commission, I’m the strongest fighter here right now.”
