Erik crept discreetly atop the targeted structure, and the crowd riveted to the screens watched with rapt concentration. As the viewers waited for Erik's next move, hushed murmurs permeated the chatrooms and platforms.
"Seems tough," one spectator said as he tapped away at his computer. "Two guards are inside; they'll attack and alert the others if they notice anything. Wonder what he'll do?"

Erik was in a difficult position, and everyone was watching to see how he handled it.
