"Master, Madam, may we add the new floor and the two rooms for the first floor, as it turns out those Imps that Warlock summoned and his Acolytes with the Exam Teams gave us a large chunk of experience and we are two thirds of the way to level three." Violet says to the pair

"Well I am fine adding two new rooms, but we should hold off on adding the Floor until we have better Men to help defend our Ship, again why do you call it a ship Split-Face?" Jackie says 

"On the regards on why I call the Dungeon a ship, is because I think it helps my troops at least in the defence, but I don't know and do we even get a new room on the Second floor?" Vince replies and asks Violet who shook her head in a negative

"Unfortunately no, but I can add the two rooms," and the Dungeon shook as the two rooms were being added, "Now we can get to our upgraded troops, do you want to see or should I tell you what has been added?"

Vince and Jackie both didn't know, Vince asked a Question about what happens to those who die, "Violet what about those Squads that lost members, during the Battle with the Warlock, three Grunts and two Jackal died do we wait or what?"

"They will come back after we call in reinforcements or new squads but we can't do both while people are here." Violet replies

"Okay then just tell us the Names of the new squads." Vince said, Jackie jabbed him in the arm with a smile

"Okay then, so for Master, Fresh Grunts led by a Minor and Grunt Minor Squad and Jackal Minors are now available. Now as for Madam her Irregulars, well UNSC Deserters and Irregulars Sniper team and that's it. anything else?"

"Yes, can we leave the Dungeon?" Jackie asked to get a nod, "Then I would want the Sniper team so I can go have a looky looky outside."

"That is no problem but one of you must stay, and sorry to say this Master you would most likely be killed on site due to you looking like a Monster, so Madam should go and Madam I suggest that you only take the Snipers so that if the Dungeon is attacked your Insurgents can support Master."

"Well then, one that is a Fair comment but, I will take the Jackal Minors for now." 

"That can be done, Madam do you just want the Sniper Team?" Jackie nods and those squad arrive with Jackie taking the Snipers with her outside, with Vince staying behind

---Jackie and the Snipers---

Jackie plans to explore the local area about two to three KMs around the Dungeons entrance and she had to note the oddness of the door, witch was a door of Covenant design in the side of a mountain a barren mountain side with a forest as well, but with nothing better to do she starts walking while talking to the pair from the Team, who she nicked named based on their role.

"So what are you two? I mean are you aware you are Monsters of a Dungeon and all that?"

Sniper and Spotter look at each other, the Sniper holding his Rifle slung under his right arm and his sidearm out witch was a older Handgun still having it's 1911 look but was larger to use 12mm ammo, he wear Civilian cloths but had a tattered breastplate over top, The Spotter on the other hand had a Battle Rifle with him looking through a small sight checking it if it's still good and with a more heavier Spotting system on his back.

"Umm, Yes?" Spotter said with it sounding more like a question, "Well we are Aware that we are Monsters of a Dungeon but we are alive as well, and that is all we are Aware about that, Madam."

"Yes, we are Monsters to those of this world but they are Monsters to us being invaders of our Home so we have no real connection to them even if we look, well Human, it just allows us to Infiltrate more effectively Madam." Sniper adds to what Spotter said

Jackie looked at the two and thought about it, "So they are aware that they are Monsters but to them everyone outside of the Dungeon is a Monster to them, that's true but Alive as well so they can fear Death? I wonder." She drew her sidearm and aimed it at Sniper's head who flinched and grabbed her arm before he had realized what he had done with Spotter stopping him from throwing Jackie over his back, and Jackie got what she wanted.

When she drew the Gun she saw a flash of fear in the mans eyes and that made him react to the firearm and she could see more fear and terror in both their eyes as they try to find out what they did or said that made Jackie want to kill them.

Jackie looked at the two both showing confusion and fear in equal parts, but with her test done she spoke, "Sorry about that I was testing your reflexes." and the two instantly calmed down, "Now let's get moving!" she adds and soon they continued walking

After spending nearly a full day Jackie with a list of all the thing she and the Sniper team had seen

  1. One fuck of large forest about 1 kilometer going from the Mountain that starts from the Dungeon door in a near perfect half cercal.
  2. Animals are close to Earth, Reach and some unknown Native species, E.G. Moa, Wolves and what looks like some Dog like being but it has Spider aspects it has 8 eyes and 4 fangs.
  3. Confirmed Civilization near Home base or a well travelled road their is a Paved road leading in and out of the Zone that we had explored so far.
  4. Have heard explosions in the distance along with faint gunfire just outside of the explored Zone. plan to investigate pre-return

"Well lads, lets go have see what the hell those Explosions are, any ideas, sounds like maybe one or two thousand Kilo bombs what do you two think?" she asked 

"Mmm, I don't think we can hear Gunfire as well, albeit faint those bombs would be to loud or the guns are closer to us then the bombs." Sniper says

"Agreed, I think the gunfire is closer to us then the bombs, but I do agree about the sound though I think they are heavier maybe five or six." Spotter adds

With that done they walk towards the gunfire with it stopping as it become night time along with the Bombs stopping as well. they advance in the same way they had started before stopping after 2 hours of walking due to the three needing a break, this confirmed another thing as well for Jackie outside of the Dungeon normal bodily function kick in the Sniper team with them even eating what looks like hard tack.

But when the three heard voices they laid on their chest ready for anyone that steps to close.

"Jeff why are we heading back to the Dungeon? It is clearly to high level for us." one man said obscured by the Darkness, 'WTF' Jackie thought

"Mark I may have gotten the Finders XP, but that was bullshit like Really what weapons was that? this Game was based on our own History!" Jackie was listening to the pair with interest and slowly crawled forward until she found them setting up a camp

"No look when it was reported to the Devs they said, that the Dungeon doesn't exist with in the code at all and the footage we have of the Dungeon is Corrupted. plus that girl that was next to that Beast she was way smarter that a NPC should be for a 'damsel in distress' was their a special update?" Mark said

"Not adding the fact that their is no context to them IRL, so what the fuck, I am going back to kill that Birdy thing take it's weapon then show people TA DA! Our claims will be validated!" Jackie was going to have Fun she stood up and walked over to them with the Team behind her

"Hello again lads, may I sit with you?" Jackie asks them while she was aiming her Magnum at Jeff with Sniper aiming at Mark and Spotter changing between the two

"What the? Wait you that Damsels NPC from that Dungeon?" Jeff said, "What who are they?" he points at the pair with Jackie

"One I am the one that will be asking the Questions and I find it rude to be called a Non-Player-Character, now First Question where the is this place I have appeared in!" she says with a creepy smile

"Mark I can't log out! it says that a Dungeon... Avatar... is nearby." the two look at Jackie with fear in their eyes

"I will not repeat me self again, where the hell have I appeared?" She didn't understand why they were so scared sure dying sucks, but it's a game to them with she and Vince having killed them already, maybe their is heavy Item loss or maybe IRL cash loss, that will need to be asked after.

Mark start stammering, "You your in p-pp-Pangea on-o-one of the Largest co-con-continents, th-that's all mi-miss." 

Jeff replies more calmly-ish, "To be specific you are in Harvest province, in the Staleword Kingdom."

Jackie wrote what they said down then asked, "Why are you two so afraid of me, I have no intentions to kill you unless you do something I don't like."

Both relaxed slightly and Mark said something that he had to stop himself, "by fuck I didn't want to loss a Grand-"  she wrote maybe monetary loss for in-game deaths

"Wait how is the Avatar outside of the Dungeon?" Jeff asked and she was done with this and killed them both

"Damn!" Jackie said to herself, "I don't like this we are heading Home Double time!" I couldn't risk them asking how I was outside of the Dungeon, Vince will need to hear about this.

After an other half day Jackie returns to the Dungeon and tells Vince what she had discovered.

"VIOLET GET OVER HERE NOW!" Vince screams
