You take a deep breath and summon your courage, launching yourself across the gap. Your feet hit the edge of the ventilation shaft, and you barely manage to grasp the railing with your fingertips, pulling yourself up just in time. Inside, the air is stale and filled with a low hum, a stark contrast to the chaos outside. You crawl through the darkened duct, the narrow space forcing you to move carefully, but the sound of the drone fades as you progress deeper into the shadows. Ahead, a faint red glow flickers, illuminating a grating that seems to lead down into the depths of the building.As you approach the grating, the glow intensifies, and you realize it's coming from a control panel embedded in the wall. You could attempt to hack it and access the building’s internal systems, or you could listen closely for any signs of patrols beneath you. The tension builds as you weigh your options; this could either lead to your escape or plunge you deeper into danger. The city outside continues its relentless hum, oblivious to your predicament.
