You are inside the Central Control Room, its walls painted a light gray. It is rather spacious inside, and the room is almost empty, save for drop lights illuminating a desk to the far right of the room, and the console's keyboard. There is a gaping hole on one of the walls. Many screens are lined up next to each other against one wall, all powered, and displaying a large countdown timer, and the ANDRO MK I console prompts. Also here are Sgt. Arni (60HP), Dr. Able (32HP), Amy Hanley (50HP), Primrose Arni, Taiga Rosetti, Roselaine, an outsider (50HP), and Darry (60HP).
The broadcast system is powered, but is currently off-air.
There is a pile of sixty dead bodies here, and thirty-three bodies that have been knocked unconscious or temporarily immobilized.
- You say, "You deceived us."
If Darry was really behind all of these, then surely, he must have had a hand with her disappearance from Arni's residence. Arni did say that a figure wearing white, matching Darry's description, was about to abduct May in the Shadowglen Underground.
There are roughly twelve minutes left in the countdown timer.

Inventory:
- You are holding a laser metal cutter. You carry a knife on one pocket; your phone on the other. On top of your clothing, you are wearing a black face mask, a golden one-eye eyepiece, a lapel, an earpiece, a black tactical vest with 10 spare magazines inside the vest pouches.
