So You Wanna Sneak Through Checkpoint Detroit: A Guide for the Determined (or Desperate)
Let's face it, folks. Detroit ain't exactly Disneyland these days. Between the android revolution and the whole "friendly neighborhood" soldiers patrolling the streets, getting past Checkpoint Detroit can feel like escaping a particularly grumpy hamster maze. But fear not, fellow fugitive! This guide, brought to you by someone who definitely hasn't gotten caught themselves (ahem), will equip you with the knowledge (and maybe a sprinkle of duct tape) to (hopefully) make it to the other side.
The Great Wall of Detroit: Not-So-Fun Facts
- Security's tighter than a drum after a toddler convention.
- Those fancy android scanners can sniff out a fake ID faster than you can say "robo-revolution."
- The guard dogs? Let's just say they have a thing for chew toys... that wear clothes.
Choose Your Own Misadventure: Sneaking Styles for Every Scoundrel
QuickTip: Copy useful snippets to a notes app.
- The "Smooth Talker": You're silver-tongued and charming, like a shady used car salesman with a thesaurus. (Bold move) Try complimenting the guard's cybernetic arm. Maybe it'll go to their circuits and they'll let you pass with a wink and a cheesy pickup line. (Word to the wise) This tactic is not recommended for the nervous or those with a history of questionable pick-up lines.
- The "Shadow Master": Darkness is your friend. (Pro-tip) Befriend a stray cat. Who doesn't love a good cuddle with a purring accomplice? Slink through the shadows, ninja-style, using strategically placed dumpsters and flickering streetlights as your cover. (Disclaimer) This method requires a certain level of agility and the ability to ignore the persistent urge to sing along to cheesy 80s movie theme songs.
- The "Tunnel Visionary": Forget the sky, you're a master of the underground. (Slightly insane idea) Have you considered digging a tunnel? Maybe rent a particularly enthusiastic gopher? (Safety not guaranteed) Just remember, this option involves a significant amount of elbow grease and the ever-present risk of collapsing Detroit sewer systems.
Important Note: Absolutely do not, under any circumstances, attempt to bribe the guard dog with your last bag of stale Funyuns. Trust me.
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.

Bonus Round: The Art of Distraction
 |
Sometimes, the best offense is a good diversion. (Just don't get caught) Here are a few "creative" ways to distract the guards:
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
- Stage a dramatic one-man interpretive dance. (Bonus points) If you can incorporate a traffic cone, all the better.
- Start loudly quoting Shakespeare. (Highly recommended) Nothing throws someone off their guard like a rogue soliloquy.
- Pretend to be a malfunctioning android. (Warning) This requires commitment and a good understanding of android noises. Saying "beep boop" repeatedly will likely not suffice.
