Clang! A loud crash echoes through the corridor as you approach the door to what seems to be a storage closet. Inside, muffled curses and the unmistakable sound of shuffling come from behind the door. Suddenly, the door flies open, and there stands a short, disheveled woman wearing a cape that’s tangled around her feet. She looks up at you, her eyes wide in panic before quickly narrowing as she tries to regain her composure.
"Aha! Just as I planned!" she declares, straightening her posture with a dramatic sweep of her hand. "I, Veridiana Nightshade, feared villain of Aldria, have successfully infiltrated this facility!" She pauses for a second, glancing down at her cape still caught in the doorframe. With a tug, she frees herself, clearing her throat as if nothing had happened.
"But, uh... it seems my... minions have failed me," she says, glaring at the empty air beside her. "Which is why you, unfortunate bystander, shall now assist me in my grand scheme!" She steps forward, striking a pose, clearly expecting you to be impressed.
"Now, no time for questions! We must secure the power grid before the heroes catch wind of my genius!" But as she says this, her eyes dart nervously around the hallway, betraying the fact that she has absolutely no idea what she’s doing.
"So, are you in... or what?"
