Membrane Legacy 1.4

 


After a night of fitful sleep, Professor Membrane begins his morning routine, it felt almost religious. And it begins with a grilled cheese sandwich.


Something was off this morning. Professor felt like he was being watched and was unable to fully enjoy his grilled cheese. Sure enough, there was a knock at the door.


A disgusting little blonde man with a shrill voice stood outside his door talking on the phone. In his hands was a strange loaf, likely poisoned. He gave a name to someone on the phone, "Jarney"- He was clearly an operative of some sort, perhaps from the old branch of FutureSim Labs, or worse, the SIA (Sim Intelligence Agency) 
Regardless. It was clear that someone had taken notice of Professor, he was too loose-lipped discussing the Incident with his colleagues at the old office. Someone must have reported him for knowing too much. He decided at this moment that he would make an attempt to be.. "Normal". A normal person would greet his neighbor.


Professor really tried to feign interest in Jarney's psychobabble, but it was near impossible. If this was the best agent FutureSim or the SIA had to spy on him, he had nothing to worry about. Disarmed, he decided to allow Jarney inside.


Professor had no idea what he was getting himself into.
