Memory Market
You stride confidently towards Lena, gesturing sharply at the shifting holographic patterns. "Those memories could destroy someone, Lena. Tell me whose they are, or I’ll make sure you pay for keeping this secret."With a calm but urgent tone, you say to Lena, "I don’t know what you’ve gotten yourself into, but I’m in a mess of my own. If we team up, we might stand a chance at getting through this before anyone else closes in."With your hands raised higher, you step back slowly, signaling that you mean no harm. "I’m not here to fight," you say, your tone convincing, as your fingers subtly move toward the EMP pulse to disable the memory drive and shift the odds.Noticing Lena’s focus wavering, you dart forward and secure the memory drive, plugging in your compact decryption device. Sparks dance as you begin the data transfer, hoping to stay one step ahead of her inevitable retaliation.
