Mission 2

[Anyways, we need to talk. What is going on with you? why have you not called for me again? Is there something going on?]

"Why are you acting like I am your son or something, why would I try to reach out to you?" He was trying very hard to keep calm. "So, why are you here this time?" 

[Hmmm....]

'Did it just hmm?' 

[I see now. Well, your eyes will open when the time comes. I will keep watching for now.] The voice went silent for good. 

"Huh, what was that all about?"

He stood there for a moment, waiting to see if the voice would return. When it didn't, he shook his head and continued forward.

"That was weird, even for the Tower."

[Indeed. Something is definitely off. The Tower's behavior is erratic.]

'It almost sounded... concerned?'

[Or it's trying to manipulate you. Again.]

He ducked under a low-hanging branch. 'Either way, we need to stay focused. Red panda or not, there's something waiting for me up ahead.'
