Dave had found a new target—a young woman. He attempted to turn her into his puppet, but she caught on quicker than Jeremy, and she was stubborn. When he realized she was making audio logs about him, he struck. Dave attached himself to the recordings. The file size was small—small enough to slip unnoticed if the game was ever transferred to another company. And it would be. Her comments about the troubled development made that clear.
She tried everything to purge him. She failed.
Now he had more potential puppets.
When the game was sent to a new development team, Dave found the perfect candidate. Yet another young woman. Her curiosity was her undoing. She found the tapes he had embedded himself in, and that was all he needed.
She fought him—harder than Jeremy, harder than the last woman—but resistance only delayed the inevitable. Like the others, she failed.
And now she is trapped in her own mind.
