His ragged beard and dull blue eyes meant only one thing; it was Perses. You remember him vividly, as he stood above you in the rainy alleyway that fateful night; he was the one to imprison you.The strict yet relaxed stance of Perses as he stands in the way of your freedom compels you to attack him. [first time] But your body involuntarily holds back. Although in your previous fight, he had the help of his team, you still needed most of your powers to defeat him. It is up to you whether to make the decision to attack or power up.[only]";
	now the player is in the final room;

instead of attacking the inspector:
	say "Standing in the corridor, the lights are dim and the alarms are blaring. Despite the utter chaos and confusion taking place behind this room, Perses looks unruffled. He sighs, standing up with tremendous effort. 'So,' he drawled, looking at you with degrees of contempt, hatred, and the smallest bit of boredness, 'Are you looking for the same fate as that night, or Jonathan just earlier?' [line break] There were no words to exchange. Every wasted breath was time bought for the guards outside. The sound of footsteps echoed throughout the narrow corridor as you charged up into a run.

		if the player carries gear 2:
			if the player carries gear 3:
				say “In this battle of pure strength and attrition, it was clear to both sides that you were the winner. This did not stop Perses from putting up a fight, however. Strikes were well-timed and accurate, but you easily anticipated the inspectors’ attacking angles. The superhuman strength and speed you had proved unmatched when compared to the slightly altered human. The fight came down to the last few exchanges, where by finding an opening after blocking Perses’ punch, you managed to land a devastating blow on his arm, rendering it useless. The fight concluded not long after that, and with your newfound freedom, you rush into the open sky and night lit city bustling with life.”;
				end the game in victory;
			otherwise:
				say “Although you haven’t fully recovered your full strength, the last time Perses defeated you, he had his squad and preparation time. Rushing forward, you and the inspector clashed again and again, looking to gain an edge in this close fight. Sending the inspector flying across the cell with your strength, he regained his footing and retaliated back with a flurry of strikes. As the battle raged on, it came down to the key moment where you read Perses’ intentions perfectly. As he moved to incapacitate your arm, you leaned into his movement, sacrificing your limb to land the devastating counterattack onto his head. [line break] Eyes watery, throat dry, and the sensation of your missing arm burning, you slowly drag yourself to the open air of the night sky, experiencing the feeling of freedom once more.”;
				end the game in victory;
		otherwise:
			say “For a while, it seemed like you had the upper hand. Your speed and agility proved crucial to evading Perses’ lightning-fast blows. The inspector was no pushover, however. A flurry of well-placed hits and kicks weathered you down, slowly turning the tides of the fight. Realizing you were outmatched, you tried a quick maneuver. The inspector saw the attack coming. As you flew past him, Perses just naturally sidestepped, grabbed his arm, and twisted it behind your back. You were done. While you had some of your powers back, it just wasn’t enough to reclaim your former strength.”;
			end the game in death;
	otherwise:
		say "You charge towards the inspector, but you realize too late that you are no match for his incredible speed and skill.

You have been defeated.";
