Before anyone can react, the mole hacks into the security grid. A loud buzz and sparks fly from nearby circuits. Ashley, standing innocently near a terminal, convulses violently as a surge of electricity courses through her. She collapses instantly.
Skrunkly (screaming):
“ASHLEY!! NOOO!!!”
Cassie (grim, moving hands in rapid ritual gestures):
“I can’t revive her. The energy… too violent. That was… deliberate.”
Big D Randy (grinning darkly, cracking his knuckles):
“Well, well… finally someone playing rough. I like it.”
Rewrite (eyes sparkling, leaning forward):
“OH, THIS IS DELICIOUS. I LIKE A LITTLE CHAOS. FINALLY. FINALLY!”
Tiger Cub (furious, squeaky rage):
“ENOUGH! I DON’T CARE IF YOU’RE A MOLE OR NOT—THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! THE SYSTEM… IS… OFFLINE!”
All displays go black, emergency lights flickering. Panic begins to ripple through the remaining entries. Voting is abruptly canceled.
Kitsune (flicking tails, cold):
“The mole just escalated… They’re in here. And now they’ve already killed one of ours.”
Jotaro (gritted teeth, voice low):
“Time to end this before it gets worse.”
Skrunkly (panicking, spinning):
“WE’RE GOING TO DIE! I CAN’T—CAN’T—CAN’T—”
Diolson (head tilting, calm as ever):
“1d3nt1f1ed: MOLE ACt1V3… PRIORITY: NEUTRAL1Z3 THR3AT.”
Tiger Cub (furious squeak):
“EVERYONE—GET TO SAFE POSITIONS! THE MOLE IS INSIDE! NO ONE LEAVES UNLESS I SAY SO!”
