Quoted By:

Your head is already starting to throb with agony. Why did you stay around, why did you stay around, why did you-

Okay. You can make it through this, Vincent.
Elizabeth. Elizabeth. That name sounds familiar. Didn't the MAN warn you about an Elizabeth? Best to watch what you say then.

You start to dig into the slop this facility has graciously provided for it. It tastes somehow worse this time. It sticks to the roof of your mouth like glue. Eugh.
"So, wait, hold on." You tap your spoon against a rock hard clump of 'rice'. "Liz. You're here. Willingly."

"Mmh hmm! I got hired a few weeks ago."
"Why."
"Why what? You already know how I got the job, silly."

Your headache gets worse. "No, why are you even here? I've been here for a grand total of TWO DAYS and I already feel like death itself."
"Oh!" She rhythmically taps her spoon on the table. "Well, it's a government job. Even with the budget cuts," She shudders after mentioning them. Seems like a sore spot for her. "I don't think anyone got fired? Job security's pretty nice."

"To be honest? The main reason is because of the anomalies. Weird monsters, mystical artifacts, phenomena you can't understand..." Her golden eyes glimmer with excitement. "I'm a sucker for it, really! It's a shame I can't tell anyone outside the facility about it though!"

"So you work at a dum-" You clear your throat. "At an...underfunded place like this? Just for the anomalies?"
"Mmh hmm. I'll admit this place has seen better days but I couldn't pass on the opportunity."

"Right. Guess that makes sense." You dryly respond. "Uh. The people who work here are really, really weird."
"I know, right?" Liz rolls her eyes. "It's like every other person is a freak."
"Right?!" You throw your hands in the air. "I just had a gun pointed at me not even ten minutes ago!"

"I-I saw. S-sorry t-that happened." Lucy gurgles sympathetically.
"Woo, yeah, don't mess with Colt." Liz whispers as if she's worried he could hear her. "Ever since Red Blooded American got shipped to his lab, he's never been quite the same."
"If it wasn't for him being a prime employee, I would've told HR to deal with him already." Nicole grumbles under her breath.

"Yeah. Got any advice on how I can talk to the weirdos here?"
Liz hums a little ditty as she ponders the question. "Well, a lot are in the same boat as you. Aside from me and Nicky over here-"

"Do not call me that."
"-a lot of them got 'promoted' here from all over the country."

"People here really only care about two things. Your skills and your resources. If they don't see you as someone valuable, they're going to boss you around like Colt did."
"To put it in terms you understand," Nicole's smile widens even further. It almost reminds you of the turtleneck man's smile. "you have to get on that 'grindset'."

oh god. hustle culture never dies huh.
"Is there any way to, uh, get them to like me?"

Quoted By:

Max's smirk softens a bit. "I mean, don't force him into it if he doesn't want to do it."
"Nicole's pretty strong!" Benjamin tries to encourage the obviously nervous young man. "If you're able to fight that off, maybe you can use your potential for something greater."

"I-I'll think about it."
"Please do, Castiel." Katz offers the young man a warm smile. "N-Corp could use someone like you."
"S-shucks, man." Castiel smiles nervously. "Maybe I will."

>N-Corp has acquired a new asset! A subtle corporate shift has occurred...

"Let's get to brass tacks. I have something to ask of you."
"Sure, sure, Nicole. What is it?"

"Well. You can obviously tell I'm anomalous," You tap on your antlers. "The others have shown their abilities as well."
"Yes, yes. All quite impressive."
"Yeah, I wasn't doing that to brag. There's an issue here: I know that Gabriel has some sort of issue with anomalies. Mind explaining WHY he has issues with them?"

"Oh! Yeah, uh, that's a really personal thing." Castiel's body is all sorts of tense now. "He told me about it but, uh, I'm not sure if we're allowed to tell."
"Please," Max lowers her shades and flashes some puppydog eyes at the two. "We're trying to help him. You can't help someone who'd just attack you randomly, hmmm?"

"Or run away at the first sign of problem." Benjamin snarks.
"H-hey! I was afraid you were going to-"

"Enough." Katz waves his hand. A silence falls over the empty church. "You can be trusted and it may be important to helping him out. It is a sin to gossip under the Father's watchful gaze...but I shall repent for it."

"Anti-anomaly sentiment is common amongst my colleagues. Most of us see them as demons and monsters. Though, in rare cases, we do work with them. Rumors speak of a dead man in the Endless Wastes. A former saint who was on earth ever since the original Saint was crucified, 2251 years ago. We are still searching for that anomaly."

"Gabriel...was more extreme. I believe it was a family matter that drove his zealous hatred of them. He confessed that an incident involving one as a young child soured him. One he was partially responsible for."
"I mean if he encountered one while he was young, I could understand him being scared of them." Benjamin shrugs. "Anomalies are interesting creatures though. Not monsters."

"..." Katz knits his brows. "It wasn't him that was affected. Let's just say he lost someone important that day. That person is not the same anymore, that's all I can say."

It takes a few seconds for the three of you to realize what he's talking about before it all clicks. The three of you speak to each other in hushed whispers.

"Benjamin told me about Benedict. The way he's phrasing that, it sounds a lot like that."
[OPEN MINDED + MEASURE TWICE, CUT ONCE] "He didn't say the family member died. Only that they're not the same. Kids are known for going places they shouldn't. Maybe they went to a facility and messed around."

Quoted By:

"Feh. They deserve it." Liz wryly chuckles. "We heard rumors about them hogging resources that other villages need. Graverobbers complaining about a lack of resources for rituals, humans complaining about survival..."
"And this fuckin' facility they're built above? Greed, greed. They already have shelter and resources. We're just adjusting the scales." There's a hint of outright disgust oozing from Pasternack's words.

"So. You wanted to play revolutionary hero." Ashley doesn't even pretend to humor their excuse. "I would think you would've tried talking to them instead of shooting to kill anyone you saw."

"THEY DESERVE IT. WHAT ELSE CAN WE SAY?" The Drone Goon is the only one to respond. You only have their words to work on. Best to press onto another question.

"Okay. Whatever. Something about this operation is rubbing me the wrong way." You can feel a faint reverberation of the Admiral in your bones. "We know there's twelve more highly armed people here; What could be so dangerous here that warrants that level of firepower?"

"SIMPLE. WE HAD DECENT INTEL THAT SOMEWHERE IN THIS FACILITY, THEY HAD ACCESS TO SEVERAL LOW-GRADE ANOMALIES. EASILY CONTAINED EVEN BY NOVICES BUT..."
"We wanted them back. For the cause. And we know how dangerous even a A1 Anomaly can be. Safer than sorry." Liz shrugs as best she can with the restraints.

You and Ashley share a look with each other. Both of you take a solid moment to see if they're just rambling schizophrenically or if their intel was right.
[SEEKER OF THE CITY + SIXTH SENSE] There is something off about the air. Both of you can feel it. It's hard to say what exactly is wrong with it, though.

"Fine. Makes sense. Still, I wouldn't think you would need to shoot anyone you saw- Or, well, crush people's heads in."
"I like doing it. Fuck you." Pasternack spits back. Well you found your culprit there. "Greedy fucks deserve it."

"Hey, Lex is probably feeling jealous you're talking to another half-bre-" "Shut it. Let's finish the questioning."

"Fine." You clap your hands, preparing for your last question before you have to deal with the rest of them. "You're clearly working for P-Corp. ETF agents and that one bit about extraction...I doubt I-Corp would be happy if they knew another corporation was messing with their turf."

"Pft. Like they would ever know-" Liz is about ready to dismiss your comment but you interrupt her.
"Does Alexis Morozov ring a bell?"

All three of the tied up 'revolutionaries' immediately freeze up once they hear that name. None of them is willing to pipe up after that.

"Good. Enough jokes. Talk." This time, Ashley presses her blade hard enough into Pasternack's throat to draw blood.

"W-we work with ETF A-a-agents. The Revolutionary r-really likes working with them, w-we don't know why, h-he doesn't like talking about himself but he just likes using them, okay?" Pasternack blabbers on on on. He's clearly worried he's going to be a headless stump soon.

"SOME SAY HE'S ONE HIMSELF."
