Transmission 897672 - Perish

You follow Saviour out into a dimly corridor, it is dirty with pipes and cables of assorted sizes running along the walls. Saviour stealthily heads down to the end of the corridor, where there is a turn to the right. You follow keeping low and as quiet as you can.

Crouching down, Saviour peeks around the corner, “Drek! A patrol of HK’s are heading this way, they must have picked up on your signature, stay right here, I’ll be back”, Saviour draws their weapon from its holster and heads of around the corner.

You sit for a little while contemplating what is happening. Who is Saviour? Why have you broken compliance? Did you not navigate the corridor as instructed? What is a HK? You contemplation is cut short, when you hear the whip crack sound of energy being released twice in quick succession and two bright flashes of light flickering down the corridor from the direction that Saviour headed.

A few clicks later Saviour appears at the corner, “All clear Bucko, but we have to scram, now!” they then turn and run back around the corner. You follow, and a little way along the corridor you see that the wall is blackened with dust forming two humanoid shapes. The thought of what happened here sends a shiver down your back, termination is unnecessary. You hurry to catch up to Saviour.

You are led around multiple twists and turns in this dull lit maze of pipes and cables. Eventually the pace slows, “Here we are, and bang on time”, Saviour walks up to a panel on the wall and places a small device in its centre. Saviour then backs away slowly, the device begins to smoke, then spark and eventually all you can see is a ball of bright light. After a few clicks the light dissipates and in its place is a hole big enough to fit through.

Saviour runs up to hole and climbs through. You approach it with caution and peek out. You can see infinity, a beautiful brilliance of stars and galaxies all around. It is more amazing than you imagined.
Your appreciation however is soon cut short:

Hello Peep 1024,

“A Useless Peep will Perish"

Your continued non-compliance has resulted in a call for your immediate termination.

A squad of Peeps have been dispatched and are tracking your signature.

“A Disobedient Peep will Perish"
