The moment the door fell down, Erik ran in and stabbed two of the Nazi Viruses through the midsection simultaneously. Then before the other two could see him, he hid behind a rather conveniently placed large crate. motioning for Jennifer to follow, he whispered "two down, two to go." then he noticed a barrel of gunpowder close to one of the remaining Nazis. apparently at level 8 they were still stupid enough to remain directly in the line of fire, or in this case, close enough to explode if someone triggered the gunpowder. "hey Jennifer, can you trigger the gunpowder in that barrel over there while I take out the other remaining Nazi?" and without waiting for an answer, he began climbing up to the rafters in order to drop down on an unsuspecting Nazi Virus, almost falling off the rafters when the Binary man's voice came back and said "10/10 one hit kill rank #1. Level Up has been awarded to all of you. those of you with a skill tree are awarded a skill point to spend at your earliest convenience".<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>"Damn, looks like these kids are more resourceful than I thought." Aaron said watching the screens as several of his Viruses were killed with what seemed to be minimal effort. The Virus who had been dubbed SIC spoke up next. "Sir, they are on Level 1. Give it time, they won't survive to get all the way here, I promise." Aaron turned to his SIC, a deadly serious look on his face. "If you don't shut up RIGHT NOW, I swear I will have you replaced, GOT THAT?!?!" he shouted, his voice escalating every second until it was a scream. "Y-yes sir, so sorry. won't happen again." the raspy voice of his SIC said. "Good, now, leave my presence, or I won't hesitate to rip your virtual throat out."<br/><br/>When the Virus left, Aaron looked at his arm again. While it bothered him that his project had been sabotaged, he still didn't understand why he kept blacking out, and at the most inopportune times, too. shaking it off, he returned his attention to the screens. "Maybe I should help them out... after all, I'd be a bad host if I didn't." he smirked. "Let's see how friendly they are now..." and he began typing in something into the keyboard in front of him.<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>Back at Level 1, a strange voice suddenly came online as the NPCs all suddenly froze in place. "Greetings Players. By now I am sure you are wondering where you are. Well, as far as you know, you are in a war-zone. This is Cryomythia, and I am the Virus Lord. As a token of my good will, I am going to do some of the work for you." As he said this, the four Players found themselves transported to an empty bunker. The Binary man's voice came online once again "Face2Face 4/4.  Level Up and skill point awarded. Wait a minute... what the-" but he was interrupted "Now that you are all together, I have a gift for you, but there's a catch. Only one of you can recieve it, and you won't know what it is until you decide who. Additionally the doors are bolted shut and flame retardant. In precisely an hour I will allow you to leave<span style="text-decoration: underline">if</span>you have decided. Every hour after you can't decide, you each lose a life. Understand? Yes? No? Oh, what do I care... It's just an advantage."
