<<audio "casino" play loop>><<fadein 2s 2s>>This was a story about you. By which, I mean, a story about me. A story about Agent $name. Dr. Moyna's plan worked, better than any of them could've hoped. The //AGNI//'s thirst for any kind of dramtic tension was destroyed, and--with no other options--it fled $name and <<cycle "$narrator" autoselect>> <<option "tried to write its own spy novel and was rejected by several dozen agencies">> <<option "soothed itself by rewatching Matt Damon movies and reading spy-themed fanfiction online">> <<option "returned to reinfect its original host with its tropy convoluted bullshit: JJ Abrams. Nobody noticed">> <<option "melted into a blurry pile of <span style='blur'>dust.</span>">> <</cycle>>. Free at last from the horrible plot twists and unexpected hacking minigames of the AGNI, Agent $name was finally free, with the help of Mirvil and Dr. Moyna. Together, they fled the secret bunker at $location, as the dozens of guards who filled it all suddenly realized they had no compelling reason for being there or even--in fact--any idea what it was they were guarding (something about 'nuclear whatnots' and a 'generically evil plan'). With nothing else to do, the guards <<cycle "$narrator" autoselect>> <<option "started their own cult for the narratively abandoned">> <<option "all kind of died when the island blew up">> <<option "opened a bakery in what was the secret bunker">> <</cycle>>. Agent $name, Mirvil, and Dr. Moyna managed to signal the Colonel who remotely landed a helicopter to rescue them. The Colonel then informed Agent $name that there was, in fact, no longer a $command, since the entire cause for the war had been merely a manifestation of ?their infection, and also a pretty //serious// inter-global miscommunication. Now, $command would dedicate itself solely to <<cycle "$newcommand" autoselect>> <<option "cryptocurreny stuff">> <<option "charitable causes">> <<option "claiming victory against the tides of algae-people">> <<option "real-estate for obscure, impractical, militarily-affiliated properties">> <</cycle>>. With the secret bunker behind ?them, it was time for Agent $name to return to ?their [[life]]... <</fadein>>

<<fadein 2s>>But... what life would ?they return to? The AGNI had stolen everything from ?them, leaving only vague memeories of espionage and glamor. In the years that followed, Dr. Moyna found $name to be <<cycle "$Moyna" autoselect>> <<option "a useful lab assistant--with knife skills and keen eyesight ">> <<option "a loyal friend, always happy to lend an ear to her next wild plan">> <<option "an unexpected fling">> <<option "a recluse. They said farewell, and she did not see $name again">><</cycle>>. But most important to $name's return, was Mirvil. Agent $name had set out to save Mirvil from the depths of $location, but instead it was Mirvil (with Dr. Moyna's help) who had saved $name. From then on, Mirvil and Agent $name were inseperable <<cycle "$Mirvil-1" autoselect>> <<option "partners">> <<option "friends">> <<option "lovers">> <<option "fencing buddies">> <<option "aspiring photographers">> <<option "roommates">> <<option "roommates*">> <<option "professional rivals">> <</cycle>>, and even went on to start a <<cycle "$Mirvil-2" autoselect>> <<option "private investigator agency">> <<option "family">> <<option "photography studio">> <<option "escape room">> <<option "financially shaky LLC">> <<option "band called //Vulgar Cinder//">> <<option "waffle delivery truck">> <</cycle>> together. <<cycle "$forever" autoselect>> <<option "They never left each other's side.">> <<option "They eventually grew apart, but it was sweet while it lasted.">> <<option "They became perfect frenemies, after Mirvil sold the rights to their story out from under $name.">> <</cycle>> As years became decades, and the world returned to its regular state of apocalyptic nonsense, $name would still sometimes feel like ?they <<verb 'was'>> being taunted by an invisible hand--[[baited like a fish]]--into making choices. But then ?they would shake the feeling off. <</fadein>>
