Red light washes the stairwell in pulses. Donald Trump holds still by the railing, the evidence case tight in one hand, while the Security Chief slides down against the crates, trying to get their breath back.
The Chief looks at the fallen body of the drone, then at Trump, and then away, like they are choosing what to say first.

The Security Chief
You can leave me here, or you can give me thirty seconds to stand.
They press a palm to their side, wince, and force themselves upright halfway. The ventilation rattles overhead, but the stairwell stays quiet.

Donald Trump
The case is heavier than it looks.

The Security Chief
That drive is the real target. Not the people carrying it. Not me.
Their voice softens on the last word. They nod toward the open maintenance hatch, then toward the stairs below, giving Trump the choice without pushing it.

“Put the security officer out of his misery; shooting him many times with my deagle”
SUCCESS (Legendary Firearms, rolled +2)

Donald Trump raises the deagle and fires. The first shot snaps the Chief’s head to the side, and the stairwell fills with the crack of it.
He keeps firing. The Chief drops to one knee beside the crates, then slumps sideways, one hand sliding off the evidence case.
The case thuds against the step. Red light pulses over the Chief’s face, now still, while the open hatch gapes beside them like a second exit nobody asked for.
Below, one of the unconscious suits twitches at the echoes, then goes still again. Dust sifts from the stair edges as the quiet returns in broken pieces.
The Chief’s radio crackles once with static, then dies. Their badge swings against their chest, catching the red light as their grip loosens completely.
For a beat, nothing moves except the ventilation rattling overhead and the emergency wash strobing across the landing.
Then the bulkhead warning tone begins again somewhere above, distant and mechanical, pushing the stairwell toward the next choice without offering one.

“continue down the stairway”

Donald Trump goes down the stairwell, one hand on the rail, the evidence case steady at their side. Above, the bulkhead tone keeps calling, but the landing falls behind them without resistance.

“negotiate with the security chief about his future employment in the government when I am in power”
SUCCESS (Legendary Diplomacy, rolled -2)

One level below, the stairwell opens into a cramped service alcove. Red alarm light washes the cinder block, and Donald Trump slows beside a dead junction box with the evidence case tucked tight.

Donald Trump
When I am in power, you are in the future of this place.
The Security Chief looks up from the floor, blood on their sleeve, then lets out a short, disbelieving laugh that turns into a wince. The bulkhead tone thumps faintly overhead like a distant metronome.

The Security Chief
You talk like that and expect me to believe you, after all this?

Donald Trump
I expect you to understand timing.
The Chief studies Donald Trump for a beat, then nods once, sharp and unwilling, as if signing off on a bad but necessary deal. They start talking fast, naming the service route, the camera blind spots, and which locked doors still answer the badge they used to carry.

The Security Chief
Fine. You keep that case on you, take the maintenance hatch, skip the main corridor, and if the seal drops, do not wait for me.
Donald Trump gets the route, and the Chief's full help, but the trade cuts both ways, their radio is dead, and the alarm's red pulse is starting to bleed into the next stair above.
