*can you define what you mean there? I only know hud from video games lol*
Oh… just realized what you meant. She has a screen built into her right arm with a cochlear implant on her right ear for voice comms.
ScrongleNet begins to talk to her directly. Okay, so you should be able to get in through a manhole down the alley to your right.
*sry my phone died but I’m back now :)*
Anne turns to the right into the alley and starts to lift the manhole up.
“What should I expect when I’m down there?”
I'm not sure. It seems you don't have access to that information. I'll try and get you some more data, but it'll take a while. I can get you a map from the ad, but that's all I can do for now.
“Would you be able to direct me once I’m in there? If I check a map every two minutes something is bound to get the jump on me.”
Anne lifts up the manhole cover and tosses it to the side. The starts to climb down into the sewers and drops down with a thud.

Gotcha. You are on the fastest route to where they're asking you to go. It...seems that the target location is an abandoned ScrungleCorp facility. It hasn't been inhabited for years. I wonder why they're so focused on it now?
Something slinks into the darkness out of the corner of her eye.

Something slings into the darkness out of the corner of her eye.
Anne raises her rifle and scans the area for whatever just moved. (Bare eyes not actual scanning)
*Np woods. Let me know if Anne makes you uncomfortable*
Anne looks up and sees S looking at her.
”What are you looking at? Never seen a strong woman before?”
“My apologies,” S says smoothly. “I’m not that familiar with the differences between the genders.”
*I guess Anne is in 2 different places at once now since I’m doing smth with baalze. Also, Welcome Back!*
She looks at S with curiosity “What do you mean?”
*Thanks! Actually, I can’t stay though, so Anne can go back to doing her thing with Baalz.*

I really like D&D, especially Ravenloft, Exandria and the Upside Down from Stranger Things. My pronouns are she/they (genderfae).
A small humanoid around 3ft tall shuffles across the deck, he has rust coloured skin and what appears to be scales on the back of his hands and feet. He is draped in a heavy brown wooden cloak that covers his face and arms and the rest of his body is glad in loose leather plates. Two shining red eyes peer out from under his hood, on his back he has a rusty metal bucket with lots of bits and pieces of scrap metal in it.

9 if I need to roll perception.
She sees some sort of alien animal(?) staring at her, breathing rapidly. She can't see it very well in the darkness, but it doesn't look anything like any creature she's seen. It sprints away around a corner.
Looks like it's going in the same direction you are.

*no problem woods, I’m happy to rp with you in short bursts :D*
”Oh.. I’m sorry there. I thought you were implying that I was something I’m not there. It is a little difficult for some to tell what I am in gender, since I do possess features from both male and female humans.”
She shakes her head and goes back to fixing her pistol

Anne heads in a similar direction that the creature went in, being careful not to goad it into attacking her.
I am a ScrongleNet-based AI that was assigned to assist you. Normally I don't talk, since it makes it seem like I'm a real person, and most people want their ScrongleNet experience to be completely personal. Don't worry, I don't judge anyone, nor do I share user data without the user's consent. Think of me as an automated web browser. Right now, I'm kinda just reading a map for you while Scrongling up some information you need.

Anne seems to be focused on the job, and is looking around for any hidden dangers in the dark.

Straight ahead. This place is a bit far out from where maintenance bots typically patrol, so you might want to take a "fast but finessed" approach here to stay out of danger.
She sees what looks to be some sort of demented polyp/tree/spider(?) hanging from the ceiling. It lowers its tentacles, revealing round, purple orbs that have a smoky, floral smell.
As the red orbs flash, another creature of the same type becomes visible. Then another, and another and another. They don't seem aggressive, but they may get in the way.

“Creepy. Anything that you can tell me about the old headquarters’ security? Like any turrets, alarms, the like.”
Anna crouches down and walks under the tentacles, hoping they don’t get in the way. She shudders and runs a hand through her black hair.

Well, it was before the age of true automation, so they still had people working here instead of machines. It should be mostly unguarded and traversable. However, this place seems to have been kept mostly a secret. I can't find much about it.
The creatures retract their tentacles slightly to allow her to walk past. Some of the orbs closest to her drop off, giving off a significantly stronger fragrance.
Nothing I found relates to these things either. Not just about the base, but in general. There is no information whatsoever about what these things are. You could probably name them if you want.
