You hear claws clicking behind you. Looks like Canner is up.

Image Description: Canner stares up at Microcomputer.

She yawns. "Microcomputer...? You're not planning on going to that mall, aren't you?"

You fiddle with your hands. "I was only going down for a peek. Just to see how it's doing."

Her eyes bulge. "WHAT. You can't go there-! I've been reading the news and I heard that there's aliens there. ALIENS. And and and I heard that they're trying to bring back ANCIENT ROME and-"

"Are you... sure that's all true? It's an abandoned mall."

Canner looks at you funny. "Independant journalism has NEVER lied to me." She huffs. "Just- promise me you'll be safe, okay?"

"Yeah, I'll... I'll be safe."

Satisfied with your answer, she trots off and brings back your crowbar. "Good luck today, okay?"

You give her a quick embrace, then head out the door.

Time for work.
