Sorry for the extra long post but I have an idea. I'll let you decide how well it works. Ideally, it won't, since the RP would be over too quickly, but hopefully we can grab some info before we escape (we're going to need to anyway). The fate of the scientist is up to you.
Right now I'm planning to tell her that we are just a number too, so give us a break, then let her go so she can help us later on if necessary. I'd like to get a flash drive from her before we leave, but if we do she'll probably be killed. She can come with us, maybe, but I don't want it to be too easy.
