Before you can think of your next move his fist collides with your jaw.
//[[the world goes black -> lab version 2]]// Holding your fists up you prepare to fight, but before you get the chance you feel the wind knocked out of you as you're tackled from behind.
"How cute she thought she had a chance"
A large man pulls you to your feet and secures your hands behind your back. Another removes the knife from your pocket. You count four in total.
They lead you through the forest up to a chainlink fence. Inside is a large building.
[["What is this place?" -> lab version 1]]Reaching the creek you realize how shallow it is and head across. It's so peaceful you forget the reason you're in such a rush in the first place.
[[continue forward -> lbc d2 forward wb,k,m]]
[[drink water -> lbs d2 wb,k,m]]Getting back on the path you head in the direction opposite which you came. You slow as you come across a deer five feet ahead.
[[stay still -> l deer d1 wb,k,m]]
[[drink water -> d2 deer wb,k,m]]
[[scare it -> l deer d1 wb,k,m]] Getting back on the path you head in the direction opposite which you came. You slow as you come across a deer five feet ahead.
[[stay still -> l deer wb,k,m]]
[[drink water -> d1 deer wb,k,m]]
[[scare it -> l deer wb,k,m]] Continuing forward you come across another bridge across a larger river. Walking across you see what looks to be a village ahead. Reaching the other side you realize you haven't had any water all day.
//I'm not actually that thirsty//
[[head to the village -> lbcf village wb,k,m]]
[[drink water -> lbc d1 wb,k,m]]
[[head left -> lbcf left wb,k,m]]Sitting by the creek you let out a sigh of relief, admiring the beauty of the forest around you. Making your way down stream you come across a patch of wildflower, you decide to take them along with you.
Looking up you realize it's gotten late and decide its time to start moving. You also realize how long it's been since you've had any water.
[[drink water -> lbcw d1 wb,k,m]]
[[continue forward -> lbcw forward wb,k,m]]Feeling refreshed after your drink you decide to [[continue forward -> lbc d1 forward wb,k,m]]Walking down the path you see a boulder to your left, forest to your right, and a continuation of the path up ahead.
[[continue-> l straight, wb,k]]
[[drink water-> drink1 wb,k]]
[[investigate boulder-> l boulder wb,k]]
[[investigate forest -> l forest wb,k]]Holding your hands above your head the men waste little time in securing you. You count four guards in total.
"Where's the knife?"
"I broke it trying to carve my name into a tree"
You hear one of the guards chuckle at this. Pinching your arms behind your back they lead you through the forest. When you think the walk couldn't take any longer the tree line breaks and you find yourself in front of a chainlink fence. Inside is a large building.
//[[just keep calm -> srks wb,k,m]]//The men you up to the front door. As you enter the building two fall back to talk to someone at the door, the other two lead you into an elevator.
// this is my chance [[attack -> srk attack wb,k,m]]//Quickly pulling the knife from your waistband you swipe it behind your head in the direction of the guard. You must have made contact as you feel him release his grip. Turning around you see his hands go for his throat as bright red blood pours forward from his wound.
The other guard throws his arms around you, but you sink the knife into his hand causing him to release you.
Just then the elevator doors open and you rush into a long hallway.
[[go right -> ska right wb,k,m]]
[[go left -> ska left wb,k,m]]Trying door handles as you run down the hall you find one that's unlocked. Rushing into the room you quickly close the door and [[lock it -> ska right pt 2 wb,k,m]]Running to the left you round the corner and into a small women in a white lab coat. She stumbles backwards as you turn to look at each other.
[[keep going -> ska run]]
[[attack her -> ska attack wb,k,m]]Turning around you're met by a wall of monitors. Each one features a room and a person, dressed very similarly to you. Many of them seem to be staring right back at you, while others seem to be asleep.
//oh god i hope they're just asleep//
Inspecting the board in front of you there's buttons to record, alter noise levels, ''reset'', and ''RELEASE''
You suddenly hear the click of a door being [[unlocked -> ska right pt3 wb,k,m]]."I should have known it was you causing all this fuss"
You turn around and are met by a scientist, he's small in stature and doesn't appear to be armed.
//i could take him//
"I've already altered the guards, they'll be here any minute and then your fun is over"
//i have to act fast//
//[[press the button -> button wb,k,m]]//
//[[save yourself -> save self]]//Turning back to the screens you slam down the button labeled ''RELEASE''
"You're going to be sorry you did that girl"
You don't care, watch the screens you see people getting up from their seats, some have already left the view of the camera.
As you turn back around you're met by a sea of guards. You put your fists up to fight, ut it does you no good. You're easy knocked to the ground and surrounded, as the repetitively kick you.
//i hope everyone got away ok//
//the world goes [[black -> opening button]]//You push past the scientist easily and run back into the hall.
//theres a staircase at the end of the hall//
You question how you know this information, but trust your gut and start running. Coming to the end of the hall you see two doors. You hear the sound of footsteps coming behind you.
[[go right -> save self r]]
[[go left -> save self l]]You awake in the forest and feel a throbbing pain on the side of your head. Your body feels sore and as you go to push yourself to a sitting position you feel an immense pain all over. Lifting up your shirt you see the formation of brusies all along your abdomen. Looking around you see a water bottle and a map.
[[water bottle]]
[[knife]]
[[map]]Pulling the door open you duck inside to realize you've rushed into a janitors closet.
//they'll be here any second//
Having little time to think you grab what's closest to you to defend yourself, [[a mop -> save self r pt 2]]You find yourself in a staircase and start to run down. Reaching the bottom you open the door into a parking garage. As you try to think of your next move you suddenly find yourself in front of a small [[orange car. -> save self l pt 2]]
//my instincts have gotten me this far//You turn around as the door flys open. You're faced with a sea of guards staring you down.
"Looks like we found Cinderella guys. Are we going to do this the easy way or the hard way princess?"
[[comply -> save self rc pt 3]]
[[fight -> save self rf pt 3]]You drop the mop from your hands in defeat. The guards lift you up and carry you down the hall.
Forcing you into a chair you realize you're in a room similar to those you saw on the screen. Looking around you notice a cord running out from your chair.
[["You seem to have caused quite the commotion today" -> save self pt 4]]Gripping the mop pole you charge forward, screaming for added effect. The guard easily side steps you, grabbing the pole out of your hand as you rush past. They grab you and drag you, kicking and screaming, back down the hall.
Forcing you into a chair you realize you're in a room similar to those you saw on the screen. Looking around you notice a cord running out from your chair.
[["You seem to have caused quite the commotion today" -> save self pt 4]]A new scientist comes around the corner. In his hand is a syringe with a clear liquid.
"What is this place?" you hear yourself ask, though it sounds as if someone else said it. The scientist stiffles a snicker
"Well since you won't remember any of this tomorrow I guess it wouldn't hurt to share. You see, we want to investigate how the human brain works and its decision making process. AS resources are depleated we need to funnel our resources towards the most promising canidates humanity has to offer. We look for individuals who show compassion and reasoning, over violence and hysteria. They think they're simply playing a video game, but really they're playing with you."
"Some may find this cruel, but those who pass our test understand our motives. Feeble minded people are easy to control, between the microchip and the chemicals in the water you become easily swayed to ignore your own senses and follow the comands issued. Sometimes that isn't the case though. Don't worry, we wont have it happen again."
He comes closer and inserts the needle into your arm.
"I'll see you again tomorrow"
//the room spins and the world goes [[black -> opening]]//Trying the handle you find the car is unlocked. Slipping into the drivers seat you reach into the door pocket you find the keys and place them into the ignition.
//almost there//
Steading your breath you put the car drive and head out to the open road. You drive away from the lab and into the night.
//what just happened to me?//
[[play again -> opening]]As you approach the village you find a small girl besides her house. As you go to approach her she begins to scream.
It alerts a group of villagers a few feet away and they turn towards you. They're all wearing masks.

You push aside a branch and in front of you is a road.
//i made it//
A car drives by and you wave it down.
"Why howdey little lady, what are you doing all the way out here? You need a ride?"
You shake your head and get in
"Where are you headed?"
"Anywhere"
//you made it out of the woods [[play agian -> opening]]//You go to move but you find your feet planted firmly in place. You see four men enter from the trees.
One man secures your hands behind your back while another takes the knife from your pocket. They lead you through the trees to a large building surrounded by a chainlink fence.
[["What is this place?" -> lab version 1]] You let out a long, drawn out scream into the silence that is the woods. As you watch a flock of birds fly overhead you feel calmer and ready to try again.
You feel a slight pinch in your neck and reach up as if to swat a bug. You're met instead by something oddly fluffy.
You aren't able to think much of it because suddenly the world goes [[black. -> lab version 3]]As you push your way through the trees you lose hope of finding shelter before nightfall. The trees thin out and you find yourself in a clearing that looks strangly familiar.
You realize it's the clearing you started in this morning. You made one giant circle. Feeling defeated you sit down. as you contemplate your next move you hear the rustling of leaves.

You count four in total, and they're all dressed in tatical gear.
They lead you back through the trees for what feels like ages. Eventually the trees open up and you find yourself standing in front of a chainlink fence. Inside is a large building.
[["What is this place?" -> lab version 1]]Your body tenses up as you wait for more movement. You hear another rustle behind you but your react too slow. A large man emerges from the trees and pins your arm behind your back. More follow behind him.

You try the handle but it's locked, you see a key pad next to the door and your heart sinks.
As you turn around to try a different direction you see a wave of guards round the corner.
"Looks like we found her boys"
[[prepare to fight -> skar fight]]
[[try to run -> skar run]]As you pull your fist back to attack the scientist cowers away from you.
"Please, I can help you. Just trust me"
//something tells you she's telling the truth, she seems different from the others//
[[trust her -> skaa trust]]
[[keep going -> ska run]]You hold your fists up ready to fight as the guards close in. As one lunges towards you, your fist goes right into his nose causing him to stumble back.
You feel a rush of adrenaline but it quickly fades as you realize there's simply too many of them. You get in a few more kicks but your efforts prove useless as they over power you.
You see the guard who you punched in the face come forward, blood still pouring out of his nose.
"Let's see how you like it" he pulls back his fist and hits you clean in the jaw.
//the world goes [[black -> skar fight pt 2]]//Hoping against hope, you rush forwars with the hopes the men will be surprised and you'll get past.
Your effeorts are unsuccessful though, and they simply grab you and drag you, kicking and screaming, back down the hall.
Forcing you into a chair you find yourself in a small dark room. Looking around you notice a cord running out from your chair.
[["You seem to have caused quite the commotion today" -> skar run pt 2]] As you come to you find yourself bound to a chair. Your jaw aches from the fight. A new scientist stands in front of you, in his hand is a syringe with a clear liquid.
"What is this place?" you hear yourself ask, though it sounds as if someone else said it. The scientist stiffles a snicker
"Well since you won't remember any of this tomorrow I guess it wouldn't hurt to share. You see, we want to investigate how the human brain works and its decision making process.

//the room spins and the world goes [[black -> opening]]//Lowering your fist you see the scientist relax.
"Quickly this way, we don't have much time"
She leads you into a small lab. She rushes to the computer leaving you to look around. You see a little hampster running around on a wheel.
//poor little guy, he doesn't realize he's never going anywhere//
"You'll need all this" you turn back around as she pushes a flashdrive, a small device, and keycard into your hands.
"On this flashdrive there is enough information to shut down the lab for good. Once you get outside get it to someone, anyone, they'll know what to do. This device will jam the signal from the microchip in your head, I'm sorry I don't have more time to remove it."
//[[microchip? -> skaa trust pt 2]]//"I know this is a lot to take in all at once, but there isn't enough time for me to explain. At the end of the hall there's a staircase, use this key card to access the stairs. Go to the bottom level, your car should still be parked where you left it."
//my car?//
"And here, you'll need this" she hands you her lab coat "I just wish I had been able to help sooner, what they've done to you, all of you. I'm so sorry."
Processing everything just said to you, you pull on the lab coat and go for the door.
"Good luck" you duck back into the [[hall -> skaa trust pt 3]]Running down the hall you start to hear the sound of footsteps approaching. Reaching the end of the hall you swipe the keycard and duck into the staircase.

Steading your breath you put the car drive and head out to the open road. Looking at the center console you see the flashdrive. You know what you have to do next. You drive away from the lab and into the night.
[[play again -> opening]]As you break away you realize the other villagers have had enough time to catch up and find yourself trapped. Someone grabs you find behind.
[[try breaking free -> lv squirm wb,k,m]]

[["Why are you doing this?" -> lv question wb,k,m]]Landing a kick to your attackers face, you manage to break free and continue running. Hitting the trees your met by a group of men in tactical gear.
//fighting is the only way out//
You pull your fist back and land a punch in the middle of one of the men's chest. He doesn't flinch, instead he giggles.
"How cute" before you can respond he pulls his fist back and hits you square in the jaw
