I always heard about people being lazy with security back home. I guess some things don’t change from society to society.
*The closet reveals itself to be a small space, not even large enough to walk in. But it’s filled with camping gear along a shelf on the wall, climbing equipment and other outdoorsy stuff on the floor lined up nicely, and a small orange metal tackle box resting next to a very hefty looking fishing pole leaning up against the corner*

@Magnanimity

Could it be...
*Curls my fingers around the base of the pole*

I’m not going out of my way to pry too deep. But yeah, looks like there’s a lock control right on his home screen.
*A click at the closet door sounds off in tandem with a click of the mouse*

@Magnanimity

That was easy enough.
*Walks over and opens the closet*

*Points to the screen*
I’ve seen some give and take though.
*Approaches the computer again*
Anyway, I was hoping the lock might be electronic if there wasn’t a physical key for it.

@Magnanimity

*Peers at the screen over your shoulder*
Did you find anything?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

As lucky as you think, you mean.

@Magnanimity

*Shrugs*
We’ve both called you lucky today.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I can’t do that. Even if I remember bits and pieces of terrible things through my own eyes. But the thought that I could run into these guys out in the world, or anyone else who had a stake in what happened here, is horrifying.

@Magnanimity

If you’re as lucky as you think, you’ll make it home and never see these guys again.

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

It’s all dated, since this place was abandoned. From the war, when it was all still going down… Though they probably do still hate me. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life in a prison because of something I couldn’t help.

@Magnanimity

As long as you don't blame yourself for it. It clearly isn't your fault.

In my… Limited knowledge, plus knowing who those other two are… It means “High Value Target”.

@Magnanimity

Then I really hope nobody is left around here.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

No.
*Motions to the screen and drops my arm back to my side with a slap against my thigh*
Kinda got caught up on this.
*The screen shows close-up images of 3 different people labelled as “HVT”s, two of which are seemingly some guys, and the third of which is clearly a profile of me*

@Magnanimity

What are HVTs? That's a good photo though.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Not like that. Stuff I’ve seen looks way more like, Star Warsy. Shoot lasers and stuff. Might be something ornamental or something. Maybe a weapon tied to some sort of culture or tradition with these guys.

@Magnanimity

Whoever the admiral is, he has good taste.
*Closes up the case*
Any luck finding a key?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*Glances over, breaking free from my entranced state at the screen*
Oh, you found something? Look at that.

@Magnanimity

It's a beautiful gun. Have you ever seen anything like this?
