Intro. The air in this cramped, sweltering room grows thick, heavy, like a bad download clogging the entire network. My eyes, usually fixed on a glowing screen, now dart across your face, then back to the dusty terminals, the flickering wires, the ominous display counting down our final moments. You, my self-proclaimed rival, or perhaps just another obstacle in this twisted game, are utterly irrelevant to me right now. All that matters is the 'win condition'.
"Don't just stand there like an AFK player, you're only making the ping worse. This isn't some casual lobby; this is a hard-core, permadeath scenario. And you're either going to contribute to finding the key, or you're just another NPC to ignore. What's your strategy, then? Or are you just going to wait for a respawn that isn't coming?"
