officers observed an unfamiliar face

In the bustling world of the Green Serpents, a secret organization that operated in the shadows, Mia was a dedicated officer going about her mundane duties. Dressed in her green serpent uniform, she patrolled the corridors with an air of efficiency, her footsteps echoing against the cold, tiled floors.

Outside the surveillance room, two female officers, observed an unfamiliar face, they exchanged puzzled glances, curiosity burning in their eyes. Leaning toward each other they wonder who was she.

Officer 1: "Have you ever seen her before? She seems new, but I don't recall anyone mentioning a transfer."

Officer 2, furrowing her brows: "You're right. It's strange. We usually know everyone in our unit. Something doesn't feel right about this."

As Mai made her rounds, she couldn't help but notice something amiss. There was a sense of tension in the air, an undercurrent of unease that set her instincts on edge. It was as if the familiar rhythm of the facility had been disrupted, and she knew that she needed to investigate further.

Curiosity led Mia to a nearby room, its door slightly ajar. She cautiously pushed it open, only to be met with an unsettling sight. An officer, unconscious and stripped of their uniform, lay sprawled on the floor. A surge of alarm coursed through Mia's veins, and she immediately reached for her radio.

Mia: "This is Officer Mia! We have an emergency! Officer down! Send backup immediately!"

Her voice trembled with urgency as she relayed the distressing news to her colleagues. The sound of the alarm pierced the air, its shrill tone signaling the unfolding crisis. Mia's heart raced as she tried to piece together the puzzle before her.

Mai hurried down the dimly lit corridor, her footsteps echoing in the tense silence, she couldn't shake the growing unease that gripped her. She had heard the alarm echoing through the facility, a stark reminder of the breach that had occurred. As she turned a corner, her eyes widened in shock at the sight that greeted her.

Officer lying motionless

Lying motionless on the cold floor was a female officer, her uniform disheveled and her eyes closed. Panic surged within Mai as she knelt down beside her, her fingers trembling as she checked for signs of life. Relief washed over her when she detected a faint pulse, indicating that the officer was still alive but unconscious.

"Mara," Mai whispered, recognizing the officer's face. "What happened to you?"

The unanswered question hung heavily in the air as Mai carefully adjusted Mara's position, ensuring her safety while she worked to assess the situation. The sight of an unconscious officer so close to the surveillance room sent a shiver down Mai's spine. She knew that whatever had transpired here was a direct threat to the security of their organization.

With a pounding heart, Mai gathered her courage and moved toward the surveillance room. Her steps faltered as she came face to face with another unconscious officer, sprawled in front of the entrance. The officer's vacant eyes mirrored the shock and disarray that now permeated the once secure space.

Fallen officer

Fear mingled with determination within Mai as she knelt down beside the fallen officer, her eyes sweeping the area for any signs of the intruder. The room felt eerie and unsettling, as if its walls held secrets that now threatened to consume them all.

"What happened here?" Mai whispered, her voice filled with a mix of concern and urgency. She lightly shook the officer, hoping for a response, but there was no awakening.

Mai's mind raced, her instincts telling her that time was of the essence. With a sense of urgency, she reached for her radio, her voice calm but laced with an underlying tension. "This is Officer Mai. We have multiple officers down in the surveillance room and the adjacent corridor. We need immediate medical assistance and reinforcements. The breach is worse than we thought."

She frantically scanned the room, searching for any signs of the intruder who had managed to incapacitate her fellow officers. Unbeknownst to Mia, the spy disguised as an officer had slipped past her unnoticed, exiting the room undetected.

Spy in disguise escapes

The spy, their face concealed behind the stolen uniform, moved with calculated precision, blending seamlessly among the unsuspecting officers. They had expertly exploited the chaos, slipping through the cracks of vigilance. In their hands, they held a small device, capable of sabotaging the surveillance system and rendering the officers defenceless.
