>>6143917Time to read them the riot act. While their attitude is understandable, my patience is wearing very thin and we'll convince better if we speak straight from the heart.
>inhaleOh, sure, there are nasty things around here and back there. But you know what's that way? Something even nastier - one of Andrei's worse ideas, TIL-84, Feng Zetian. Derek over there has a copy of her file on the tablet [we did photograph them all]. You keep going west, not only are you going to encounter her forces, but you will be shot and/or captured by your OWN enslaved erstwhile colleagues before being bound into her ranks yourselves. We JUST barely escaped from there with our OWN LIVES trying to take her out - we've defied our own government orders at RISK OF EXECUTION and stuck our OWN NECKS out for Facility staff and subjects alike time and time again and tried to talk this out instead of starting a gunfight, and WHAT does it get us? Frogmarched straight back to ALL of our dooms or worse because YOU. WON'T. LISTEN.
>deep breathCirra! As well as Annie, we've made a few friends you might know. Chrysidus? Kamara? Morgan? Oreas? Anofelis? Vinisha? Viridian? We've met and had friendly chats with all of them over the last week [if sceptical, provide personal details as appropriate as proof], and the first six we've even brought back with us to safety, as much as Morgan might disagree that she was in need of help. What we've done for any one of them would get us all shot if upstairs found out. We were even on our way to pull Logan's ass out of the fire by direct request of Annie - who told us where he was (just south of the cooler section, by the way) - in exchange for helping us get out of our mess after the snafu with Feng's horde.
So, give me back my radio so I can call Annie and get this little shitshow we've gotten ourselves into defused, possible few minutes delay while she does Annie things aside. We're unarmed, you've got your guns on us, do you think me stupid enough to do anything except exactly what I said I would right now?

I probably didn't need to write a mini-rant but it felt very cathartic to just start thumping the table like that. If we can get hold of our radio, Annie WILL respond since she has a strong vested interest in our mission being successful and ensuring the protection of a subject but the potential delay could be some very tense minutes.
I was mostly joking about the lewdfic. We'll save that one for when we make it happen in story.
Also, to anyone thinking of it, Oreas and Anofelis are not for lewd in any medium. They are over the legal cuteness threshold to permit it and if you do I will find a second wasp's nest and stuff it into your mailbox too. Give Morgan the treatment at your own risk though.
>>6143891Go get the drawfag, Annie. C'mon. He's right ove---AAAAAOOOOOWWWWW.
