>>5725497It takes you a few moments, but when you finally recover from seeing what might just be your worst nightmare, you take a steadying breath and try your luck with one last question…
You know the mission’s important, you begin as Mina preemptively narrows her eyes at you like a puma about to pounce, but if you’re gonna be running around the island searching for her dad, and evidence, and all of that other stuff, well…
“Well <span class="mu-i">what?</span>” She asks, more curious than anything else.
Well what about <span class="mu-s">SURVIVORS</span>? Shouldn’t saving them be the bigger priority here? The heiress responds with a weary sigh.
“Of course they are–I was under the assumption that if you found any you would direct them here… did that need to be communicated?”
Just making sure, you counter. She didn’t really mention them, so-
“I understand where you’re coming from, Diesel, and it’s commendable that you’re so eager to shoulder this many responsibilities,” The girl replies as she leans up against a nearby crate, “But we need to think realistically here: if other guests are outside right now, it’s safe to say that their probability of survival has shrunk. <span class="mu-i">Drastically.</span>”
So what, you growl, you’re just supposed to forget about them? What about calling for <span class="mu-i">help</span>? What about-
“I’m not asking you to forget about or ignore them, Diesel,” Mina interrupts as she steps in front of and locks eyes with you, “But I <span class="mu-i">AM</span> asking you to be aware of the reality of the situation. If you find them and they’re able to travel, yes, please send them our way!”
And if they <span class="mu-i">aren’t</span>?
“Then play it by ear.” The girl says with an exasperated sigh. “This may come as a surprise to you, Diesel, but I don’t have a step-by-step meticulously-planned <span class="mu-i">flowchart</span> for every single possibility tonight… we’ll just have to adapt depending on the situation.”
Alright, you shrug, guess that’s better than nothing…
“You can use that <span class="mu-s">EARPIECE</span> you have to contact us.” The heiress continues as she gives your ear a gentle tap with her painted nail. “Meanwhile we’ll see if we can’t speed things along on our end–if we could find the keys to that <span class="mu-s">BOAT</span>...”
Yea, you nod, if only…
