[PERSON OF INTEREST] We should cut our losses. Get her out then leave. This is too much for us.
[CAPTAIN'S COMMAND] That 'Handler' lad told you to <span class="mu-b">stop the tunnels being made</span> when he hired you. Remember?
You really do wish you could just leave now with all of this loot but you sorta need all of this money he's paying you. $1399 for the mission itself and maybe some extra thousands for all of the trinkets you found and bringing back an anomaly. And to be quite honest, it's also an excuse to explore. It's not like you got that many chances to see your sib- to directly interact with anomalies.
<span class="mu-b">Though you absolutely will back out if shit goes too far.</span>
Now for the actual matter at hand? It's best to try snapping this weird lady out of whatever trance she's in. You don't want her to die or drown here, even if you only knew her for what. Fifteen minutes tops?
"Miss. The surface is fine. The war is over. You don't have to be here."
The RESEARCH HEAD blinks a few times like she's trying to get sand out of her eyes. "Gwuh? No, no, that can't be right. Why else would we still be down here? The manager is a retard, we would've been given orders from P-Corp if-"
Naomi immediately cuts her off with a sharp click of her tongue. "P-Corp doesn't even know anyone is still here. It's been sixty years. Things have changed."
You and Kiara immediately dig into your pockets to pull out various pictures you took. You show her pictures of your trip throughout the Infinite Sea and the God Damn Admiral while Kiara shows a few pictures of the surface above she must've taken during her spare time.
"I took these a week, maybe a week and a half, ago. Why would I be randomly exploring the sea during the middle of a WAR?" You try your best to hold back your annoyance at the sheer undeniable reality of what you're explaining to her. "Do I even look like a soldier? Half of the weapons and armor we had, we STOLE from the armory next door."
"Why would THIS man, who I <span class="mu-i">KNOW</span> fought in it, even be willing to be photographed by her? Why would the streets above-" Kiara flips through some pictures of the busy, crowded streets of J-Corp. "have all of these civilians milling around?"
"Miss. I hate to INFORM You OF This BUT I Was BORN tWO Years AGO. THE ONLY 'WAR' I WAS Involved With WAS fighting FOR SCRAPS of food wiTH MY SIBLINGS."
[UNNERVING] Quentin shifts the uniform he's wearing just enough to let his wasp-like wings sprout out of his back. Your other allies back away from the disgusting display and for a moment, you swear Wendy and Kiara are about to puke (if Kiara had the function to, at least.)
>-1 RESTRAINT TO WENDY AND KIARA!
[OPTIMISTIC SPIRIT] Casey puts her arms around whispering what you can only assume is corporate fun facts and various other vapid nonsense to them to keep them distracted.
>+1 RESTRAINT to WENDY and KIARA! DAMAGE NEGATED!
The RESEARCH HEAD stares at the evidence shown in absolute bewilderment. "How?"
