>You keep dragging, while she says something outside the door in that unfamiliar language. She is cut off in mid-sentence by the door flying open, and an armored man barges in! You can't see his face, it is obscured by a strange helmet that covers his upper face, with a glass visor over his eyes. The armor seems to be largely a chest piece made of strange material, with gloves and knee-high boots made of similar stuff, it reminds you of the stuff you saw inside that cup VIVIT gave you. He carries some strange black thing in both hands, whose basic shape reminds you of a crossbow, but without the bow part. He looks around, shouting something in his language.

>You shout at the armored man, who seems to understand you about as well as you understand him. He shouts things at you in his language, while jerking the end of the black thing he is holding toward the near wall of the room.

>VIVIT is already shouting at him in that language, and he's shouting something. You don't know if any what you said got through.

>You drag the man a little further. The man shouts again.

>"We do not harm compliant prisons, ma'am," the soldier says suddenly. Or rather, you think it is the soldier. The voice is coming from his direction, and he mouth is moving. But the voice doesn't sound quite like the person who was shouting at you a moment ago, it's more...metallic sounding? There's a strange echo. "Now, I need you to move away from Agent Sombraluz and place your hands over your head."

>You back away, and you can't hold back the tears of frustration. You're dimly aware of the soldier and VIVIT moving to check on the fallen agent, and you hear more soldiers come inside the chamber. You are aware that a couple of them are standing over you.
>"Miss, we need you to come with us." says one of them, his voice having the same metallic ring as the previous soldier, but sounding a bit softer and deeper. It is like listening to the echoes of different voices.
