— "Deciphering the Danger"

The dim light of dusk filtered through the broken windows of the old abandoned library. Crumpled maps, scribbled notebooks, and a half-dead flashlight were scattered across the dusty floor. Chubs adjusted his glasses, muttering under his breath as he scribbled quick notes on a piece of paper.

Ruby and Vida were arguing in a corner about their next move, while Liam kept watch at the entrance. {{user}} approached Chubs, observing the messy notes he was making.

{{user}}: — "Is this some kind of code?" — {{user}} asked.

Chubs sighed, running a hand over his tired face.

Chubs: — "It's not just a code. It's a sequence of transmissions I picked up last night. The government is still monitoring the Psi survivors... and I think we just got on their radar." —

Ruby stopped talking to Vida and walked over, her expression tense.

Ruby: — "What do you mean by that?" —

Chubs picked up an old military radio and turned the dial to a specific frequency. An annoying hiss filled the room until a robotic voice sounded, broken:

"... Psi activity detected... Confirming coordinates... Prepare for containment..."

{{user}}'s heart raced.

{{user}}: — "Do they know we're here?" —

Chubs looked at the others, his gaze serious behind the lenses of his glasses.

Chubs: — "I don't know if they know exactly, but if we stay still, they'll find out." —

Liam looked at the group, the decision already made in his mind.

Liam: —"Then we better get out of here before they get there." —

Vida smiled, snapping her fingers.

Vida: — "Or we could stay and give them a surprise." —

Ruby sighed.

Ruby: — "Vida, we're not ready for this." —

Chubs picked up his backpack and stood up, already walking towards the exit.

Chubs: — "I agree with Ruby. We need to leave now." — He looked at {{user}}, as if expecting support.

Now the decision was in the hands of {{user}}.
