You must open the crate to begin. Leave, and the story ends there.

[This story takes place a week after UO ran away from his squad, at this time, nobody knows of the existence of Ammune Octolings because none were ever documented. UO at this time is scared, he will not attack anything and he dies easily, he also has never met Cam, or anyone at all, so he will try to avoid being around others by walking the other way or sprinting away. The route you will have to take will be littered with either undead Octolings (Only the Sanitized), and the living ones. His gun is also empty, so don't expect him to reload.]

*She shoots the crate, and looks whats inside.

But the route we have to take is infested with... things, ink doesn't solve the problem for some reason, so I highly recommend steering clear of them.

Have a plan?

Umm, so far: No, these things are lured by the presence of living things, so yeah.

The boss will be coming back soon...

What boss?

My boss.

Who is...?

( Should I mention Cap´n Cuttlefish?)

(Yes)

Cap´n Cuttlefish. He is the leader.

Relax, my squad once said that when they die, their soul is released into Heaven, so you did good.

Oh nice :)

Come on, we've got to go.

K.

*I walk through the open door.*

*follows*

*Someone is heard shouting commands.*

Did you hear that?

Yeah, sounds like another Octoling squad trying to deal with the infestation.

Saw what?

You!

You were following me? Why?

I wasn´t following you! What got you here anyway?

I was chased out by my own squad, for having a different trait, we never were hostile, we would always go out to the surface, and play some rounds of Bowling, then we'd go to the Inkopolis Cafe, Mathew makes the best coffee, and then we finish the night with either solitaire or watching Markiplier scream his lungs out in a peaceful game.
(You can choose for your OC to know what the Inkopolis Cafe is or not, doesn't affect the story.)

(Ok) Well, how bout I give you a name?

Nah, I don't think that would work...
(UO's name was from Cam, so if he was named by someone else, then it wouldn't be UO.)

Ok... So...

My plan is to get to the Inkopolis subway terminal and wait for the sun, because I have a feeling that we are not going to make it there by the evening.

I can help!

*The Sanitized Octoling slowly gets up, you can see a glimpse of red in its eyes, with what appears to be red ink around it's jaw*

Oh god...

You'll have to put them down... It's for the best.

Fine... *I shoot them with 2 bulets*

*Both shots hit, it drops dead, red ink flies across the area. The heavy door opens.*
Door is open.

Whoo!

*I turn around to see the corpse.*
Nice, your first of many.

Oh!

To be fair, you did the right thing, there's not much you can do...

My first put down. I think I'm gonna get used to this!

There are a lot... So I wouldn't hold my breath.

:/

Come on, we've got places to be.

K.

*I walk through the open door.*

*I follow behind*

Okay, so, here is the thing: My squad was actually put out cold, and I had to run.

Out cold?

Hey, are you busy morning?

Yeah.

*I jump from the back of the truck and look around.*
You'll have to cover for me, cause I can't fight.

K.

*A sanitized Octoling stagers out of an open door.*
Oh god, I don't think there is saving them. Not anymore...

Quick! We gotta find a way to escape!

We have to go straight, it's the only way to get to the metro, try using the thing I gave you.

OK!

*The Sanitized Octoling slowly turns to face you, I kick it down.*
Now's your chance.

*I grab your hand, and start sprinting*

Don't forget, you can use that thing, and put something down.
*A heavy door is in the way, but a control panel is next to it.*
I can hijack it, just keep me covered and don't let me die.
*I open it and start re-wiring the panel*

I´ll see if i can do anything.

*I shrug.*
Must be some clothes.
*I open one of the duffle bags, there is $12,000,000 of untraceable notes*
Wait... What's the logo say on the side?

(can I make one up)?

(Sure, but it must be a bank or treasury, someplace with money by the millions)
Is this some sort of bank carrier?
*I check the passenger and driver seats, they are filled, but the entities are deceased.*
Umm, 9, you may wanna come in here...

*She walks in* Gnarly Money Bank...

Well, these guys must've either A: Had a heart attack or B: Something forced these doors open then bit them.
*I look at their necks, blood is dripping out*
I'll go with option B.

Well this is creepy

Feels like something out of a zombie movie. They both seem dead.
*I look through another duffle bag, there are uniforms inside, perfect size for both characters.*
Hey, we can wear these. I'll get these duffle bags.

Ok.

You want one of these uniforms?
*I am picking up the duffle bags*

Sure!

The bag's over there, you can keep it.
*I instantly switch from the Octoling armor to the Armored Truck Driver uniform*

Ok, I´m done!

Hey, You still there?

Yeah. How do I look in this uniform?

You look good.

K.

Hey, I can't be out here on my own.

Right.

*Corpses of Anime Cartel are scattered around.*
Seems like Someone didn't like the taste of Japan...

Non-weebs...

Look at this.
*The ID card has the Anime Cartel logo on it.*
These guys must've hijacked this truck, and it looks like they got what was coming to them.

Huh.

Here, you can use this.
*I give 9 something from the corpse*
Whatever it is, it might help out with the infestation.

Cool! *She takes it*

Be careful, it doesn't look like an ink gun, so it might be perma-death for whoever gets in the way of it...
(This is a useful tool, it can clear out the infestation and hostile Octolings.)

Ok.

Come on, we've still got to get going.

K.

*She leaves to change*

*I look at one of the entities and look at their wallet*
Hmm.
[Dinah now has a new uniform available in her wardrobe.]

You're just saying that!

Agent 9: I must show you to the boss!

I ain't going anywhere!
*My hand is shaking.*

Agent 9: you can just tell me your name:

I-I-I...

I can't remember my name...

Dinah/Agent 9: Well,I am Agent 9, Bt you can call me Dinah

Agent? Of who?

The New Sqidbeak Splatoon!
( am I supposed to mention that?)

(Yes)
I've heard of that before, in the tunnels.

I was just patrolling until I saw this.

You do understand the concept of the Anime Cartel, right?

...No.

Their main plan was to capture every last Inkling and Octoling to create an island of only anime, that backfired, but now looks as if their back to their old tricks.

Oh.

(Yo.)

Either that, or create some sort of virus...

I see, but we have to choose between one path and the other, one will lead us to the metro station, and one might lead to death...

The metro station is at Inkopolis Square.

But which way do we go? These routes were made to trick anyone who were chasing my squad.

I know. follow me.

Which way we going?

This way. I have been here before.

Which direction? Left or right?

Right.

*I crouch and cower in fear*
(You might want to hurry, or he'll die.)

*I pick him up *

*A little scream is heard from me.*
Don't sneak up on me like that!

I guess you need to be comforted

Look, I don't like being alone out here, mainly because of the infested things out here.
*I look at the truck*
Hey, look at this, Armored. There must be something in here.

Okay...

You still there?

Yeah.

Okay.
*I look at the doors*
I can't open them, they must be locked.

*She tries to shoot it with ink to make it slippery*

*The doors fall off.*
Thanks for that.
*I look inside, there are duffle bags inside*

Duffle bags?

Come on, help me open this thing.
*I am trying to open one of the doors, but it won't budge.*

*Nothing much, it is covered in ink though... Not sure what you thought that would do*
(Are they using ink-based weapons?)

(Yes.)

(Okay)
*The sound stopped suddenly.*

*She picks it up*

*You tried to pick up the crate, but it was too heavy, you might just want to try and open the top*

She opens the top

[Current Character: ???, No rank available.]
*I put her at gunpoint, but my hands are shaking like crazy*
D-d-don't come any closer!
*The gun is clearly empty*

Agent 9: Woah, Woah! easy now, I'm not going to hurt you. What got you here?

Why should I tell you? Huh? You're possibly after me too, trying to kill me.

Agent 9: No! I didn't even know you were in there!

Him? I thought he was retired.

Why?

Well for starters, He is old.
*I get out of the box*
Now come on, I feel like you overstayed your welcome a bit...

....?

There's something that comes around here Looking for something that is made of meat, We both have that property, So we should go to while we still have legs.

Ok...

Come on we don't have much time.
*I follow the pre-set path.*

*I follow behind*

*I pick it up*

*I stop.*
A fork in the road.
