It’s a nice Saturday and you have the day off of work. With nothing better to do, you decided to go to the mall and do some causal shopping and maybe pick up some early gifts for the holidays. While still fairly busy, the mall has less people than usual for a Saturday. After an hour or so of browsing to no success you decide to get a meal at the food court before heading out on your way.
You’re mostly distracted as you browse your phone as you walk down towards the food court, thinking about what you’re gonna eat. You notice something weird out of your peripheral vision and you look up. There’s a group of about 5 people dressed up in clearly very expensive white suits with green ties. That would have been very weird on its own, but they also appear to be wearing some kind of gas mask that each resembles some sort of animal. One of them seems to be messing with some electoral box while the others talk into some walkie talkies and seem to be standing guard. It was a weird sight but you figure it’s best to avoid them anyways, you’ve seen weirder things at the supermarket.
You’re almost at the food court when you see another group of these people dressed in the same uniform appear and stand in a huddle in the middle of the food court. Suddenly you hear a voice come over the mall intercom. “Hello mall shoppers! The earth is slowly deteriorating as we know it, our mission at Johnson Environmental Corporation is to return our planet to its original state.” You’ve heard of the corporation before. You remember hearing on the news about Aaron Johnson, who is a multi-billionaire and a crazy environmentalist. He sold all his assets and put all his money into a company and claimed his goal was to “cure the earth of its plague.” There were rumors of crazy experiments going on at its headquarters, which is located in the deep woods outside the city you live. However, no proof of anything ever came out and all of the reporters who went to investigate went missing.
The you hear the voice again on the intercom. “Here at the Johnson Environmental Corporation, we have been working hard to create a solution to our climate disaster. What we have come to realize is that there is no chance of success unless we eliminate the biggest cancer to our planet... humans.” You start to panic and think that these psychos are gonna kill everyone in the entire mall. You hear the voice cut in again “We have been working tirelessly at the Johnson Environmental Corporation to develop tools to help us reach our goal of restoring the planet to its former glory. Before we introduce these tools to the whole world, we decided to test them out on wonderful subjects such as yourselves. The mall has been rigged with an amazing variety of inventions that will surely get you in touch with your wild side, and our wonderful JEC employees are in possession of great tools that have the power to get you in touch with nature. Thank you and congratulations for participating in the first step towards a renewed planet. Earth forever, humanity no more!” And then the voice cuts out.
You don’t know what to do and you look around and see that most other people in the mall are as confused as you are. You hear a middle aged man, who seems to be at the mall with his wife and kids, begin to raise his voice at a group of the Johnson employees who are standing near the food court. “I don’t know what you psychos are doing, but I’m going to call the police and shut down this nonsense.” He begins to take out his phone and dial a number, presumably 911. While he’s looking at his phone you see one of the Johnson employees pull something out of their bag. It looks to be some sort of gun, and looks like a water gun or maybe a flamethrower. You can still hear the man as he begins to answer the talk on the phone. “Hello? Yes this is Bruce White. I’m at the Wilson mall and there’s these J-“ he cuts out as you see him get hit with a blast from the employees gun. He drops his phone on the impact and tries to pick it back up. “Hello? Can you hear me? I need help I wAWOOOO” as his voice suddenly shifts into that of a wolves howl. You see him grow grey fur over his whole body and his face stretches out into a canine muzzle. His clothes start to tear from his phone body as he falls down onto all fours. You see a fluffy tail sprout out and his body shifts posture to match that of a wolf. Before you know it, where the man once was there is now a grey wolf. There is almost no resemblance that he was once human except the clothes ripped beneath him.
Now you panic more than you were before, as you realize the severity of the situation. What do you do next?
