5 Minutes Before the Detonation
She ran... Oh how she ran... Trying her best to make it to the caves, maybe she could make it to the caves? Maybe she could disarm the bomb once she got a safe distance away? She could almost hear her robotic mind whirring as her seconds ticked away. It wasn't certain how long she had left, or for the matter of fact, how far she had gotten since she had first run away from the Lighthouse, desperately seeking out one last location, where she could only hope that her inevitable end, would do little to harm anyone else. Or... Maybe... If she could just find a rock with some magnetic alloy, she could disrupt the bomb's circuits? She put herself at risk of damaging her own wiring, but at this rate, anything was worth trying after all!
Suddenly, she saw it, a cave opening in the middle of the woods... The sun was already beginning to go down, but she was going to make it! Now, since she hopefully had a few seconds left, she just needed to-... All of a sudden, the once rythmic beeping of the device around her collar ceased, replaced by the shrill sound of one single, elongated beep... Despite not having an instruction manual for this bomb, it was pretty clear what this meant; her time was up. She stopped, letting herself collapsento the ground right in front of the cave, closing her eyes as she accepted her fate...
"I'm sorry... Quote..." She said softly...
And then... The device went off... It's explosion rocking the forest for a brief moment, before silence settled over the area... Curly was gone...
...
Somewhere out there, a gamer laid waste to their computer setup. Why you ask? Alas, it was because they had gone through all the correct steps to save Curly Brace, after multiple failed attempts... But it was all in vain; the bed at the bottom of the Plantation, where she should have been... Was empty.
Alas, there goes a rather aged piece of equipment from what looks to be the late 20th century... Another victim of the infamous gamer technique; the Rage-Quit.
