Save the office workers from the Circle of Thorns (35-40)

Unnecessary Solicitation

That office complex is still under siege! You've got to stop the Circle before it's too late!

Debriefing

Diabolical. The Circle planned to sacrifice all those people in order to bring a section of their precious Oranbega to the surface world. If I were a ghost, I guess I might miss sunshine, too. Of course, I don't think I'd kill every last resident of Brickstown to get it.
