You decide to <span class="mu-s">keep exploring for the time being</span> or in other words, a <span class="mu-s">Soft Yes</span>. To be quite frank though, you're getting sick of this district already...which bodes well for your main non-monetary reward for this mission: Property in I-Corp's district.
At the very least it unlocks more options on what items and opportunities it has-
Something crackles in your pocket. You pull it out to reveal your FORGOTTEN SIGNAL PARADIGM, which has mostly been quiet since the start of the mission. The ETFs are slowly beginning to realize just how many PARADIGMs you have.
Some are whispering conspiratorially without any care of you hearing them to 'simply steal her stuff' but the rest really rather not start a fight for no good reason.
"...80 dead and 500 injured...<span class="mu-b">Apartment Block #G-A1-SW-194-B</span> is no longer operational..." That doesn't sound like a warning for your current mission.
[SEEKER OF THE CITY] That's your apartment block. The one you were living at a mere eight to ten hours ago.
[PERSON OF INTEREST] We all know who did it.
[CAPTAIN'S COMMAND] They knew you weren't there. It's a warning shot.
"...<span class="mu-b">One of ancient time is in this facility.</span> It seeks the anomalous to empower its tribe. Be wary, for it is hungry for power." And then it goes quiet. You can only assume it's referring to the <span class="mu-s">Graverobbers</span>. Your question is why one is down here; It doesn't make sense if they arrived the way you came from.
You'll worry about that later. You have a confused lady from the 1940s to talk to.
>"To save you. Does there need to be any other reason?"
"I-I suppose n-not? Y-you can't blame me for..." She makes a wide sweeping gesture towards EVERYTHING around her. You really can't. "I...aren't those soldiers?"
"Officially, we're more like hired contractors." One of the ETF Revs is about to go on a massive rant about ideology or something but you cut it off.
>"I wanted to repay Alexis by helping her family out. You're her family so..."
"Her and I do have a long work relationship, yes." Alexis is still reeling from everything that's going on but she's a consummate professional; Doing the work she does requires her to be able to control herself even in the weirdest situations. "
"O-oh! Yeah, uh, I have to ask you about how the family is. Once we're out of here that is." That seems to have calmed her down more than the previous explanation at the very least. It simply makes more sense to her.
"And...well." You're not sure how best to say this but you try, at least. "It was mostly Quentin. The guy who looks like a corpse." You don't have to point to him it's pretty obvious who you're referring to. Maybe you should talk to him? His appearance is… interesting… but don’t let that put you off, he’s one of the most solid guys you’ll find these days.”
She glances at Quentin. He looks back at her. You can visibly see her face twist into an expression of disgust yet, at the same time, gratitude.
