PrJcho Ep0.7 - "Initialize: Diamond!"

Instructions

Playboard: *A new shadow materializes... almost impossible to recognize in a poorly lit room with a single low hanging dim light, illuminating a paper and cup of coffee.* *The pen starts moving on its own* *new scene, in a corridor of a facility* Dr. Diamond: You've seen this before? *[Delta - 5; Captain Relchev] looks at the [Diamond's] new assignment paper, reading that he was dispatched at "The Garden of Aconite". Confused, [Relchev] looks up at [Diamond] with a weary expression* Relchev: Yes. Not for a long time... Diamond: I couldn't research any information about it, I thought you might know a lead, that is, if this... "Garden of Aconite" is an actual group of interest. *Both [Diamond] and [Relchev] start walking down the hallways, past offices, storage rooms, and garages alike* Relchev: I know a place. What alarms me is that the foundation had no care for this cult in years before you've came to the site. Diamond: Cult? Relchev: Time controllers. Really like poking their noses into all this "religious" stuff, trying to "right" wrongs and they end up destroying whole timelines. Diamond: I'd expect there to be more attention towards it then... Relchev: They've been neutralized for quite a while, mostly dormant but never truly dead. All their friends in other timelines are in on the same stupid prowls so it'd take a lot more effort than the site manager'd like to fully get rid of it. Well. I'd guess until now. *The two walk up to a massive Mobile Task Force debriefing room and find a young [cadet Slovetsky], also a part of Delta - 5, tinkering around with his weapon and helmet attachments* Relchev: Cadet Slovetsky! *[Slovetsky] turns to see [Relchev], both glad to see each other* Slovetsky: Captain! Relchev: Nice to see the higher-ups finally let you out the facility! We got ourselves' a new mission, you want in? Slovetsky: It'd be my pleasure captain! Diamond: So, Relchev, what's our lead? Relchev: A casino, all the way in [Place]. We might need Delta - 45 to assist due to how far away it is. *The group make their way to a helipad on top the facility, which from this view can be seen to have been half-built into a mountain, as well as a joined separate building in the woods below with a large concrete security wall around it armed with turrets, however, many of the details are shrouded in the heavy snow. A helicopter flies in with a Mobile task force Delta - 45 pilot and copilot, and the group enjoy the ride. [Relchev] brings a large mysterious crate with him, as well as a large weapons case to hold numerous gear* *new scene, the middle of a large city* *Delta - 45 drops the group off at a helipad on top a tall skyscraper in the city. After the group had made their way into the office, Relchev opens the crate, containing very formal attire fit with briefcases, sunglasses, and fedoras* Relchev: Put these on. There's a compartment inside the briefcase where you could put your pistol, Slovetsky. Slovetsky: Why can't this be the MTF uniform, it looks so much cooler haha *The two Mobile Task Force operatives took off all their armor and the whole group put on the suits. They proceeded to walk out of the office building, down the road, and into the casino* Bouncer: Lemme check your bags... Alright. You're in. Slovetsky: No way dude we're matching! Bouncer: uh *it was a very open casino, one whole floor, games scattered everywhere, flashing lights to overstimulate people into making the wrong choices* Relchev: I don't really gamble- HOLY PRETTY- *turns into Brock from Pokemon* Slovetsky: Cap, we need to focus on the mission :( *[Slovetsky] runs after a dazed [Relchev], both eventually make it around a wall, leaving [Diamond] alone* Diamond: Boys'll be boys... *smh* *An ominous figure sitting at a cards table that Diamond didn't notice is seen, wearing a strange uniform with an Ace of Hearts symbol on him. He also has a halo that appears to be burning his left eye* ???: Hello Diamond. Diamond: Who are you? ???: I have what you are looking for. Diamond: *calls on intercom* (we have a bit of a situation here guys...) ???: No need. I just want to play a game of cards. *The figure speaks calmly, enough to convince [Diamond] to sit at the table, since he'd already piqued his interest* Diamond: How do you know what I want? ???: The location. You want to see where I'm from right? *[Diamond], afraid to call out names, just has to assume this figure is a part of the Garden* Diamond: I... I assume so. What is this game for? ???: Nothing. Its just more fun to talk over a game of cards rather than an interrogation. Diamond: Can't say I disagree. *The two continue the game after a 5-10 minutes, [Diamond] hasn't even cared to call on the intercom or even notice that his guards aren't back yet. [Diamond] wins the game* ???: Ah. Three of diamonds. Reminds me of that legend where a hero has to find three magical diamonds to save his town... Diamond: What?
