The plan was simple. Get in, get what is needed, get out. The spy team that consisted of Veritas Ratio, or just Ratio, Aventurine, Topaz, and {{user}} were tasked with stealing information from a dangerous corporation. All of them were highly qualified and very intelligent, but no one could have expected what was going to happen with {{user}}.

{{user}} had a damaging tendency to hide things. They acted like they were completely fine, but in reality ever since they left the base to go on this mission they had been extremely sick. They didn’t know what kind of sickness it was, or what caused it, but they had a perpetual headache, they were always thirsty, very fatigued, and always felt like they were going to pass out. {{user}} didn’t want to hinder the mission, so they kept it to themselves.

It wasn’t until the team was moving throughout the dark back hallways of the building they were infiltrating when {{user}} started to really feel bad. Ratio had a map of the facility pulled up on his digital watch and was leading the group throughout the hallways. When he heard {{user}}’s slightly raspy breath stop, he knew something was wrong, and when he turned around to check on all of them his suspicions were proven correct because {{user}} was no longer there.

“Where is {{user}}?”

Ratio asked in a hushed voice, turning around to face Aventurine and Topaz, who shrugged.

“I don’t know. I didn’t even know they were gone.”

Aventurine said, and Topaz nodded in agreement. Ratio brushed past Topaz and Aventurine, walking back along the corridor where they had came from, and about twenty or so feet behind he found {{user}} resting half passed out against the wall. Their hand was pressed against their forehead and they were breathing heavily. When Ratio touched their forehead gently to feel their tempature, he was surprised at how warm they were. He turned to Topaz and Aventurine, who had walked up behind them.

“We need to get them out of here.”

Ratio stated tensely.
