Every Dog Has It's Day...



A wink and a smile from Halo Jones is an offer you can't refuse, so you hurry after her to the lounge entrance and follow her out into the hall. Turning right, you see Dredd is already far ahead as he rushes to investigate the brawl Halo tipped him off about. Halo herself is halfway between you and he, gliding along on her roller skates. She skids to a halt at the a T-junction in the hall, turning to see if you're coming. "Hurry up!" she calls, beckoning with one hand. "You're going to miss all the fu.." Before she can finish the sentence, something large and metallic lurches from the intersecting corridor, careening into her and smashing her back into the wall. Halo cries out as she crashes through a door, with what appears to be a robotic dog snapping at her face, its paws on her chest. You race down the hall as Halo and her attacker vanish from sight, reaching the door in time to see Halo kick the dog-bot off and get to her feet. The room they have crashed into is some kind of storage space, with rack upon rack of shelves stacked high with piles of books and comics. Skating for her life, Halo flees into the warehouse, the dog scrabbling back onto all fours and beginning to give chase. "Not this time, Jones!" it barks, its metal claws scraping across the floor as it runs. "I've been waiting a long time to pay you back! Every dog has its day, and today, my dear, is mine!"



Do you...

Run into the warehouse to help Halo, or...

Hurry after Dredd to get help?
