-That's exactly what I wanted to tell you! We met recently, although I can't quite remember when, but as far as I recall, it was yesterday. Well, anyway, I was already getting ready to visit her for a cup of coffee when some people showed up, tied us up, threw us into a bus, and drove us somewhere. In the bus, Ayren told me that people from Tant Technologies were hunting her, and now, it seems, they were taking us to our deaths. According to her, they wanted to eliminate me as a witness, just to be sure. We were driven for a very long time; I even managed to fall asleep, when suddenly an explosion overturned the bus. Ayren and I climbed out of the broken window and started running. After a while, we came across this castle. Then there was a bright flash, cold, and my clothes turned into this – Vladimir pointed to the rags – and that's it. I thought that maybe they were taking us to this castle to kill us, but now I'm not so sure about that. That's the whole story.

- Either your girlfriend lied to you, or you're lying. I'm more inclined to believe the latter.

- Not a single word of lie. Why did you come to that conclusion?

- Because on that day, Tant Technology was under attack and definitely couldn't transport anyone anywhere, because... However, I shouldn't reveal that information.

-Perhaps they started the search operation before the attack, but then didn't have time to return? Or did they receive a signal about the attack when it was too late and immediately went to another base? Maybe the operation to capture Irene was given the highest priority over any other? Honestly, I can come up with many brilliant explanations for this event. Have you ever been taken to the police?

- The thing is, my friend, that Tant Technologies is right behind that door, and based on that, I have every reason to believe that your information is not trustworthy.

You've told some really cool stories.

- The thing is, my friend, Tant Technologies is right behind that door, and based on that, I have every reason to believe that your information is not trustworthy.

- Hold on... we really are from the same place! That's why I feel a connection. You're one of ours, not from Nevermore - Vladimir smiled sincerely and was about to suggest having a drink, but he knew it might be met with skepticism - but if Tant Technologies is really behind that door, then everything makes sense. Unless Irene misled me, they were hunting her. Wait... why are you prioritizing her word over mine? Do you know her?

- No, that doesn't make sense, because this land isn't owned by Tant Technologies, and therefore, they couldn't have brought it here without our knowledge. Not to mention that the representatives of this organization couldn't have known in advance that they would end up here. And yes, I am acquainted with Irene; we once flew north together on a mission.

Vladimir tried to change his demeanor, as if instantly switching from a "friendly" mode to a "professional" one: -Alright, I'll tell you the truth. People from Tant Technologies were indeed hunting for Irene. She was supposed to be killed by Wenling, an employee of that corporation. But Irene had friends - as she told me herself, they were her former employers, from the time when she was just a regular mercenary - and they hired me to save her life. After that, my task was to find Wenling and find out the reasons why she tried to kill Irene. We received information that Wenling was heading here, and I was sent here with Irene; she wanted to... personally be present during the interrogation. Then we really got caught in an ice blast. That's the truth, as it is, buddy.

Boris nodded to his comrade, and the latter searched Vladimir for any tracking or communication devices, as well as weapons. "Alright, follow me."

Vladimir obediently follows him.

Boris brings Vladimir to the others.

When Vladimir was led into the hall, Angus approached and looked questioningly at Boris.
– So, it's my turn now, right?
