What it means
Our interpretation.
The guard's command abruptly turns an ordinary journey into an encounter with authority. Its blunt accusation gives the player an immediate choice about how to respond to a crime. Repetition across encounters makes an anonymous official voice one of the game's most recognisable sounds.
