The day I almost splatted Octavio...
It was a cold, wintry morning. I'd just snuck into an Octarian Advanced Weapons Research facility. A facility so secret, most of the Octarian Army would've thought it was a weather station.
The NSS had just learned this facility was developing a new kind of weapon few could even conceive of: a bomb that could evade the NSS's detection capabilities and destroy half a city.
I'd found the computer where the plans were kept and was prepared to sneak out with it, when in walked the Octarian chief science officer, talking to who I presumed to be the officer in charge of the project.
From their conversation, I gleaned that the weapon was in its final stages and that Octavio himself was coming to personally oversee those stages. I relayed this information to the Captain, who then issued a new order she'd never issued before nor since: snipe Octavio.
With my E-Liter equipped, I searched the base for an ideal hideout - one that would give me a direct line of sight to the boss himself. I found it, hid, and waited...waited...waited...
Then Octavio came. I readied my weapon, waited for him to stop - even for a brief moment. I had my chance. My trigger finger was one millimeter away from activating the weapon and ending Octavio's life.
Then...SPLAT. I was dead. I respawned, only to find out an eager Octoling man with ninja-like moves was on my tail; he had snuck up behind me while I was in hiding and was the one who splatted me.
He'd also pulled the base alarm. Immediately, I was facing down some of the most elite Octolings in their army, Octavio himself behind them, looking me in the eye, laughing and saying: "So...you thought you could kill me?"
After weighing my options, I pressed on, facing the most intense battle of my life. Somehow, every time I'd gained an advantage, this Octoling guy from before made me lose it.
That is, until Agents 1 and 2 arrived. Together, we were able to out-think the lad, escape the army, and destroy Octavio's weapon and its plans.
