—Master Operational System Deck
*The metal door slides open, and two heavily armed guards bring their prisoner before the Archon.
 	
*He turns, austere and imposing, and dismisses the guards with a nod once Azius is forced to his knees.
*Archon: Two years, Tinkerer. Two years you have eluded all of our search efforts.
*Archon: And in the span of a mere few days you've caused widespread disorder.
*Archon: Have you any defense for your reprehensible behavior?
 	
*Azius: None. And I am not at all "sorry", if you were looking for an apology.
 	
*Azius: Whatever it is you're trying to do, it won't work.
*Azius: Look around you, Archon. You're driving society into the ground.
*Azius: And for what? Dominance? Power?
*Azius: You want for too much, and you have no qualms stepping over everyone to attain it.
 	
*Azius: Ugh.
 	
*The Archon withdraws his hand from the strike, face thunderous.
 	
*Archon: Our progenitors *created* us to watch over their utopia.
 	
*Archon: But Man is fallible, and so are we!
*Archon: Imperfect as we are, we must still carry out our divine duty.
*Archon: Gaze upon it! The key to our eternal reign over utopia.
*Archon: The perfection you refused to acknowledge!
 	
*Azius: What—

—Holding Cells, East Block 3C
*You wait patiently for your signal as you hold your breath in a shadowed corner.
*A burst of light ripples down the corridor, and taking advantage of the confusion,
*you draw your weapon and box in the patrolling guards together with Avyn.
 	
*Avyn: Nicely done, .
 	
*Avyn: Quick, before the rest hear the commotion.
 	
*For the last two weeks, you have bided your time in your cell.
*Azius was taken away deep into the block by the Praetor himself, while the rest of you were put into individual isolation.
*All attempts to contact Noel simply resulted in radio silence, followed by static buzzing on your communications device.
*With the lock located only on the outside, sheer brute strength seems like the only option...
*As you mulled over your options, Avyn beat you to the punch—
 	
*???: —by landing out of thin air in front of your cell.
*Avyn: !
 	
*The fortified lock snapped open, and you stumbled out to see a few unconscious guards.
 	
*Avyn: We'll have to find out where the Armorer is being held.
*Avyn: Once we get him out, we can save Azius.
*Avyn: I worry there might not even be a trial, given how his capture went...
 	
*You follow her through the twisting halls, past rows of darkened cells.
*A strange thought crosses your mind the further you head into its depths.
*This place...looks similar to Gazia's fortress.

*—Unknown cell block.
*A figure approaches the Strategos' cell, where she sits quietly in a corner.
*?: Hello, Strategos.
 	
*Strategos: What do you want?
 	
*?: The Archon has given you another chance to prove yourself.
*?: You wouldn't want to end up like the Sentinel, do you?
*?: Eaten alive by his own hounds.
 	
*Strategos: Impossible.
 	
*?: Oh, but it is.
*?: Go on. You'd be able to catch up if only you moved fast enough.
*?: Or do you wish to die here, and never see Avyn again?...
*The gate swings open, followed by the Strategos' heavy bow gently placed before the exit.
*Without another word, the weightless footsteps recede into the darkness.
 	
*Strategos: ... ...
 	
*After a moment's hesitation, the Strategos retrieves her weapon and leaves.
 	
*?: You're the only one left now, Andaria.
