What's Your Point

Atlas read the note, which annoyed him beyond belief.

[To the soldiers of Astoria. I have given all the valuables to Duke Silverstar, who resides in a bunker at the bottom of the ship. Please rescue them, as they are a good and kind family who can help rebuild the Federation]

'So everything is back at the bottom,' he pondered while glancing around for the vault key and spotted it around the neck of the skeleton.

Without a second thought, Atlas snatched the note and allowed himself a fleeting smile, imagining escape from this nightmare. He grabbed the key from the desk and turned to leave, only to be jolted by a deafening roar.

'What was that? Don't tell me there are giant monsters down here!' he thought, a wave of panic threatening to overwhelm him. He fought to keep his composure, deciding to rest before continuing.
