Chapter #5

Social unrest - with dinosaurs

    by: Sakuya Kawakami Author IconMail Icon
The mall hires a third party company to handle security and their booths can be found on each level of the building. Suspiciously enough, the first booth you approach looks vacant. The outside of it has been vandalized with juvenile graffiti and you can see that the inside is also a mess. Paperwork scattered everywhere, a broken tablet, and a pack of pepper spray have been torn open and spilled on the floor.

You look around before pocketing one of the sprays. Meanwhile in the food court, the altercation has become a full blown fistfight, with the crowd of patrons shoving and scrapping against the liberatonists. Families begin to pack tightly against the hallway to exit and load onto the tram back to the city. The entire building is chaotic and loud with the screeching of pet dinosaurs. Even the pterodactyls flying in the air have become frantic and landed on top of the dome, clawing at the glass furiously. What is going on?

With the egg wrapped around your jacket, you spot one of the other security booths. You don't even bother walking to it since it also appears to be deserted. A man and a woman dash by you with their own pachycephalosaurus catching up to them. The top of its ridged spiky head looks damp and the animal snorts annoyed as it walks around you. The oddest feature is the bandana tightly wound around the dinosaur's mouth.

"You are gonna want to go ahead and get out of here ASAP," the man tells you. His companion nods in agreement. "The liberationists found a way to undo millions of years of symbiosis by putting something in the vents and all the dinos are going berserk." Before you can ask another question, the trio run off. Despite the quick encounter, you worry if the bandana they were trusting was going to protect anybody...

So there has been an attack? And where is security? You can't think about it for much longer because a loud siren begins to blare. Red emergency lights from the upper portions of the mall flash wildly. Then, a voice is heard throughout the building. Loudspeakers of the mall boom with static until you hear the sound of a throat clearing. "Attention all! The natural order has been restored by the SBL. Abandon the ones you have unjustly subjected to slavery and head to the nearest exits in an orderly fashion. This is your first and only warning to cooperate - your control ends today."

With the danger increasing by the second and the situation in the mall worsening, you consider your options and what to do with the egg that has cost your life savings...

You have the following choices:

1. You are going to sneak the egg out

2. Defeated, you look for somewhere to hide the egg
