	"Hurry up Saryn! They know we're here!"
	Kneeling down into a crouch, you spring yourself forward and sail through the rapidly closing doorway, recovering with a roll as you touch the ground again. "If you hadn't rushed ahead, they wouldn't have noticed either of us!" You can't help but bark back at her, growing more and more irritated as the mission is inundated with complications due to your partner. Several feet ahead of you is Ember dashing ahead, a newbie you had agreed to party up with on a normal Spy mission. While you had thought it would have been a by the numbers stealth run, it turns out Ember prefers the brute force method. The second you had touched down, Ember had brandished a shotgun and opened fire on the nearest Corpus, immediately triggering the alarms. Even with her non-existent knowledge of stealth, Ember managed to set a fast pace and continues to slowly pull away from you, the Corpus facility going into lockdown adding more obstacles as you try to catch up.
	"Just a bit further and we'll be at the first cache!" A chirrup sounds out from your comms, Ember updating you with what you already know, a tint of glee in her voice as you both draw near your target. Instead of replying you focus on just keeping up, eyes locked on the familiar room with a console in its center. But as you draw near you notice something off, the entry point to the data storage has been left open, the usual orange instead a bright green.
	"Slow down Ember, something's wrong here." Speaking over comms to make sure she hears you, you slow down to investigate the room. Ember has other ideas however as she rockets through the room, leaping into the tripwire-filled hallway adjacent.
	"It won't matter if we're too fa-" Her words are cut short as she slams directly into one of the lasers scanning the room, knocking her to the floor and making the nearby Corpus systems begin to purge the data you're after.
	Before you can move to join her, the doorway separating you two slams shut, the once green door now glowing red as it locks shut. You were going to admonish Ember, but now you grow tense and hold your breath, this isn't the usual behavior of a Corpus base. Your comms turn into a faint buzz of static, Corpus instruments beginning to jam them, making sure you can't contact Ember or even Lotus. Scanning the room you begin to hear the soft whir of machinery at work, and at the far end of the room from where you are, a wall begins to slide open. Preparing yourself, you enter a stance with your skana at the ready, as thick mechanical claws burst from the wall and reach for you. They pour out by the dozen, making it so that even as you dodge the first few masses of solid metal, you're forced further into a corner with each lunge you evade. Swinging your blade you manage to slice cleanly through one but as it falls more take its place, your swing having left you exposed as well. The tendrils swarm around your limbs, restricting movement and forcing you to drop your weapon as they tense around your wrist.
	With you in their grasp, the mechanical arms drag you to a wall, holding your arms and legs tightly against it as the ones wrapped around your body snake away. Soon you're left hanging on the wall, your limbs encased into a wrapping of robotic tendrils while your head and body remain exposed. "Rgh!" Even with all the strength you can muster, the robotic bindings refuse to budge, keeping you held tight.
