[Samus Aran, The Entrusted One]

...It's been Five days at this point. The events of that mission have toiled in the Minds of Chell and Luigi, as the Two primary suspects, arrested on the spot, and brought into Level Two Prison. They were left into there individual cells, Only the dark metallic prison visible outside of the plasma barrier surrounding the enterance, as they were only given plates of Rice-based Protien-- Worst food that Life sphere had to offer, As they rotted for moment after moment.


However, The fifth day, Several guards would open both of there Cells, Gathering both Chell and Luigi, and taking them into a nearby Questioning Block. Two Plastic Chairs, and a Wooden table stand in the room, as Chell and Luigi had there legs tied to a hook on the ground, As on the opposite side of the table, Looming over them, was a Woman, With a very anger filled glare, as she turns to meet them both.



"...High Security Laboratory broken into, Several hundreds of Platinum coins worth of property damage, Government Secrets stolen...And the two we have found at the scene of the crime, are you two."


Samus's gaze looks upon luigi. "...Luckily for you, You Brother trusts you enough to know that you weren't there on purpose. And I Trust Mario enough to trust you. However, Luigi, You should recognize that this is the...Second time now we have you on record with a major breach of life sphere information. The first time, a Mere Fluke. This time? ...You'd better hope this isnt a reoccurring issue, otherwise, There's not a man alive who's word can get you out of a Cell."


Then, Her Piercing blue eyes fall on Chell. "...You're lucky you got caught alongside the Brother to one of our Leaders. Otherwise, I'd have no issue making sure our next prison block was built ontop of your cell. I understand you've had some...Traumatic experiences before Li. But this wont give you any leisure in our judgement.'

"So. Here's the Deal. I'll let you both out of here with a Stern Warning to Never Let Me Catch You Two In Here Again. . . On the Condition, of this."

"Tell me who put you up to this. Where are they now...And What happened."

[Chell]

Chell was bouncing a ball in her cell... rebelliously against the wall. No one knows where it came from. She keeps getting it back somehow before resuming. "... Sure taking their time..." Chell muttered to herself. This was frustrating her. Nobody was the one that should be in here, not her.

Chell looked to the guards that were here to escort her to which she just put down the ball to follow along. She just stared at Samus as she was tied up. She glanced to the sides at the traumatic experience and implications Samus was flinging at her in particular. "Right, because the Life Sphere Police Force has nothing better to do than detain innocent bystanders? People that have helped this city quite a bit in the past?" Chell retorted with an eyeroll. Sure, she wasn't a huge name but her resume wasn't exactly small. "Either that or you guys are ridiculously easy to throw off the trail," she adds before continuing. "If it wasn't for your security interfering I would of gotten your secrets back by now... Or you would of still caught the real culprit," she finishes before sighing.

"... Fine by me though. I only stayed here because I intended to give you answers anyway," she began before sitting down. "He goes by the name of Nobody. Presumably to make it easier to throw people off his trail. He made it seem like a simple plumbing job. Didn't buy it personally, I already knew he did underground work. I was too busy being distracted by Muks to stop him from breaking the sewers. No idea how they got down there, he was caught off guard too."

"Anyway, he forced a shut down with the pressure he caused. He used this to get into the lab and put data on a USB Drive. I came along because I knew he was up to something and I wanted to catch him in the act so I tried to retrieve the drive and incapacitate him. However the fight was taking a bit too long so I tried to escape with the drive so I could discreetly turn it in for evidence. Unfortunately he managed to stop me and use my escape route to leave instead. That's when your security decided to show up," she explained with an eyeroll.

".... And that's where we are. As for where he is now... How am I supposed to know? I've been locked in here for five days. He could be anywhere by now. Who's fault is that? Oh yeah, your forces falling for his bait and switch. If there was security on the surface by that sewer entrance you could of still caught him," She accused. She was clearly super frustrated right now. For a lot of reasons so she did not channel them out.

"So are we done? I have unfinished business with that guy and he's going to be a lot harder to track now," she finishes, staring back at Samus as she folded her arms.

“This appears to be quite a predicament, Luigi. Data analysis verifies that highly secured facility has indeed been ransacked, but the expensive destruction of property is not the main problem. Luigi, you and Chell witnessed this object at the laboratory, correct? It is a flash-drive. One with a storage capacity surpassing even the Famicom Disk System’s Cards. It has been loaded with an unquantified amount of sensitive data on the Life Sphere that would be devastating in the wrong hands. It is most pitiable. The perpetrator is likely at work even as we speak. And you, Luigi, are being treated as a criminal. Tomorrow we must do our best to resolve this situation.”

“I’m-a been in here for way-a too long.” Luigi shook his head, waking up from a dream where his Poltergust G-00 could talk to him. Must’ve been that awful rice-protien thing he had for dinner. Could’ve at least used some tomato sauce. These were the longest five days of Luigi’s life. So much could have been done in a single night. Escape? Are you kidding? That’d just give them a Good reason to lock him and Chell up in there. And as inhospitable as his cell was, all Luigi could think about was the one of them who still roamed free. Nobody and what must be up to. Every second they were shivering in there, they weren’t out there hunting him down.

Luigi greeted the guards as saviors, only to be dragged kicking and screaming to the interrogation room.
There Luigi sat. Hands folded, knees buckled, legs tangled, shivering like a Rumble Pack on the witness stand. His shackles were jingling like sleighbells. It wasn’t because he was hiding anything, it wasn’t because he was guilty: Samus just had a really scary stare.

“And I’m-a Wasn’t there on purpose! Nobody used the Mario Bros. Plumbing Support Hotline just like-a normal customer! Just like-a the first time I’m-a told you!” Luigi pleaded, failing to fall onto his knees thanks to being chained to his chair.
“I’m-a tell you everything! The brief said some-a sort of monstro build-a nest in-a the system and if it bust-a pipe, it’d flood and-a fry the archive! It was-a just gonna be a few minutos of sewer maintenance, next-a thing we knew, he smash-a through the walls, then he drive a BUS-I mean-a SUB-no a BSU? He stick a thing into the Securicom, then he down-a the load and hit the road! Before Chell or-a me could stop-a he, You stop-a We!” Luigi fanatically spilled a less clear version of Chell’s account with tears flowing from his eyes and the less said about his nose the better. Good thing he was still wearing green instead of black and white stripes. “Who knows what he pirated on-a that USB! _{(Ay I’m-a said it!)} We can’t-a just sit here and let him get awee-I mean-away with-a this!”
