War Week

[mockmods]

[A week has gone and past, as has the first of your number. The Researcher revealing himself, more or less, by punishing Patches, the Trusty, for pushing an unclear boundary.]

[And yet, routine seems to have returned. The Researcher makes morning and evening announcements as if nothing has happened. Meals are served in the dining hall. The copies of Oregon Trail in the computer lab now have a text-only mode for some reason? Penny has not been seen since Friday, and attempts to access the Security Room have been fruitless.]

[But overall, life in the Facility has remained unchanged. But the atmosphere is getting tenser - sooner or later something is going to break.]

No, no, I'm sure you're right that it's not important. No need to bother him unnecessarily- I'm sure that if it was important, you would've remembered by now.

[The last statement gives him pause. "Sweet" is not a word usually used to describe him, after all.

Before he can respond, though, a very large crocodile shows up and drags him away to go cook some fucking Food]

...maybe. That makes sense, though, and if it were anything critical he would've reminded me, he's usually very insistent-

[And- oh, now K. Rool is happening. Penny gives another small wave as Spy is dragged off.]

Good luck, Mister Spy!
