>Admin and R, Bond with Siro, let her know that we run this facility, take and give back I's Arid Dress afterwards.
You decide to bite the bullet and interact with an anomaly one on one. Due to you not wanting your body to be ripped apart, you prepare to wear...
You're doing this for the anomaly work order. Swallow the disgust that's pooling in your throat. You leave your office, heading over to the containment cell in question. Roxy follows behind you.
With <span class="mu-i">major</span> reluctance, you quickly stuff the dress over your current outfit and whatever protective gear you can still fit on before entering.
It doesn't take long for you to realize how hard it is to see much of anything in this room. You're not used to this lack of visibility, considering your cameras.
"Hello? Who are you?" A young girl's voice rings out. "You smell different. Are you okay? Do you need help?"
The dog barks, getting the attention of the storm. "Ohhh! You brought Roxy again! You must be one of the girls!"
"I am the Administrator of this facility." You cough, hoping whatever effect the dress has makes your voice sound convincing enough. "I'm the one who runs this place. I decided to personally visit you this day."
The storm suddenly stops dead in it's tracks. "Administrator...?" That wasn't exactly the reaction you expected. You nervously cough, partially due to the sand blowing all around.
"Yes. Administrator."
"So. This really is just another place I'm stuck in, huh?" Eh? Didn't she already know this? "I guess that makes sense."
You merely shrug. "I'm sorry. That's just the rules I have to follow in this place. Anomalies must stay in their containment cells."
"Anomalies? Wait, wait, how many others like me are there?"
"A handful. My goal is to keep them and the employees safe." You gesture at Roxy to play with the girl. The dog starts running around the containment cell but the storm is far more fascinated by you.
"Am I a monster, miss? Why do people keep looking at me like I'm not...a regular girl? I'm just a regular girl, aren't I?" The storm gets closer to you. You take a deep breath in.
"I'm not sure what I can say to you. You were always a bit of an enigma to me."
The storm shifts again. For a moment, you swear you thought you saw a little girl standing in the middle. "When can I go home? I miss my mom, my dad...I wanna go back home! You have that power, don't you?"
You turn your head away. "I'm sorry. I'm not sure what to say." How long would it take for another task force to capture her if you let her out? Can she ever live outside of a cell?
"All I can say is that I want to make your stay here as pleasant as it can be."
"I just want to be a normal girl again. It's not my fault! The storm, it was just so cool, I had to..." The girl goes silent.
<span class="mu-i">Curiosity killed the dog.</span>
"I just wanted to see what was in it."
You gesture at her to play with Roxy. The next few minutes pass by, with her playing with the dog, before you two leave.
