"That's the thing" the officer sighed, looking at Moon: "The air doesn't get in there. There are no vents.
Once the room is sealed, it breaks any connection with outside environment and begins using its own oxygen supply. Several tanks of oxygen, sitting inside the room itself, can keep the occupants alive for up to 24 hours.
Until then, nothing gets in or out. Not even air.
The safe room has no weak point. We made sure of that, when we built it..."
Amy looked at Arnold, crossing her arms and frowning slightly:
"The life I have now, is already unsafe.
Ever since the Slavegear incident, some people look upon batponies with suspicion. Baseless, mindless suspicion.
People who were my colleagues, my classmates, suddenly grew cold to me.
Strangers on the street, watch me with hidden fear and anger, expecting me to lash out. Expecting me to plot something against them. Against the Union.
You know, I was born in this city. I grew up in it. Its as much my home, as it is theirs! But some began seeing me as a bloodsucker. They judge me, before they even talk to me.
Just like Oboro assumed I would turn her down, even if she would be nice to me, even if she would ask for my help.
Amy frowned: "You don't know me. You know nothing about me"
She turned away: "...I want to apprehend the people who hacked the Council Building, as much as you do, trust me. They're not doing me any favors by painting a target on my back.
These 'Disciples of Marek', what a sick joke. I can't believe anyone bought that nonsense"
Mira looked up, the words visibly caught her attention: "...you don't believe the Disciples exist?"
"Of course not" Amy shook her head: "The batponies are under a magnifying glass right now. And everything we do, eventually has consequences for Nyx.
Who in their right mind, would ever think of attacking the Union? The Union covers 99% of the world.
If these Disciples continue pissing off the Union Council, the Union will up and hammer Nyx into oblivion!
These Disciples are goddamn idiots! If they even exist" Amy looked away, still holding her arms crossed:
"...besides... you need my help. The opposition has a skilled hacker on their side, someone good enough to hack one of the most important buildings in Adelheid. You need someone to match their skill.
I'm not just an electronics student. I study computer programming at the Adelheid's University of Technology.
Adelheid is not only the capital city of Soren. It is the capital city of the Union. The whole world, you could say.
Therefore, the Adelheid's University is considered one of the most prestigious in the world. Getting admitted to it, is extremely hard. Neigh impossible.
But not only am I studying there now, I am registered as an honor student. Top of my class"
Amy released a small, cocky smile: "...I'm not just good. I'm very good.
... and I want in on your mission. Whoever is making up stories about the Disciples, has to be stopped"
One of the police officers was carefully scanning Amy's computer, during this time. He finally raised his head and called:
"The computer is completely clean. No illegal software or forbidden activity. This computer wasn't used to hack the Council Building. It appears Miss Moore was designing a money banking program, during her arrest"
"Good" Amy nodded with a satisfied smile and looked at you: "If you want my help, I'm up for it"
The officers started heading toward the police van: "If we've settled everything here, we need to head back to the Council Building. Try to establish contact with the hostage taker. Make sure the hostages are unharmed"
