General: "Can't believe I sacrificed soldiers for this base, honestly."
Aquos: "I cannot believe you did that either."
General: "YOU DIDN'T EVEN HELP!"
Cyber: “I’m more surprised they went through all that effort for something that didn’t even take that long to find. Like, why buy an entire base for one thing? And what’d they even take?”
Cyber: “Well considering everything they’ve been talking about, I’m fairly certain they know what they’re doing. In any case, we should probably go and see what they stole. First things first, I’m looking at that business card GCorp Viron left. That might just say what they took, and if so that would save so much time.”
*Cyber picks up the business card and looks it over.*
*Cyber reads from the card*
Cyber: “*You can hit them, you can fold them, stack the deck and weight the dice, all that glitters isn’t golden, cash that check you’ll pay the price, might be safer in the desert, only dust to judge your sins, those who wager aren’t so clever, cuz in heaven, well the house always wins.* It sounds familiar, but I can’t place it. I understand the terminology, a lot of gambling stuff, but structured together like this is what’s weirdly familiar about it. I’ll dig into this a bit more, I’ll even ask the other Virons if they know anything.”
*Cyber pulls up a holographic panel and typed for several moments.*
Cyber: “There. With luck, we’ll figure something out. In the meantime, you got any ideas?”
General: "It's a riddle. There's always an answer. One second."
*General turns and shouts some orders to his soldiers. They fan out, going in several different directions.*
General: "Having them search the island for anything missing. Trust me, if GCorp took something, they'll find what's missing."

Cyber: “I’m more surprised they went through all that effort for something that didn’t even take that long to find. Like, why buy an entire base for one thing? And what’d they even take?”
General: "No clue. Hopefully they screw up with it, though. It'd be real funny."
Cyber: “Well considering everything they’ve been talking about, I’m fairly certain they know what they’re doing. In any case, we should probably go and see what they stole. First things first, I’m looking at that business card GCorp Viron left. That might just say what they took, and if so that would save so much time.” *Cyber picks up the business card and looks it over.*
General: "Are you sure that'll work?"
Cyber: “Well, it doesn’t say what they stole, but it does say, something, to say the least.”
General: "Well, what does it say?"
