[ANOMALOUS ABILITIES] Their poor mental state will help with the murderer. Don't bother.
[UNSTABLE] Your legs begin to move on their own. Something that open airlock is luring you closer and closer to it.
[HIGH RESTRAINT] NO! You pull back away from it. No. You can't. You shake your head in an attempt to clear that weird impulse from your psyche
Fuck. The hell is inside that room? As you listen to it one last time before you start commanding your allies, you can't begin to describe what you hear. It's like someone recorded themselves skinning a cat alive and they reversed the sound before playing it back. <span class="mu-r">And there shouldn't be anyone there. What could be making that sound?</span>
[SEEKER OF THE CITY] You do want to learn about more Singularities, if only out of sheer curiosity, but you're fine skipping this one.
"We're moving. Now. We can't stay around here." You have two keycards, you can probably get the last one from Naomi's relative, you can LEAVE. The longer you're down here, the more risk you put yourself and your allies into. Especially after you accepted the Manager's FLESH.
A snarl crosses Clover's face. "Where? There's four floors we haven't checked, ya gotta actually SAY WHERE WE'RE FUCKING GOING-" Clover immediately goes quiet after realizing he was starting to yell at you. "Sorry."
Naomi and Kiara don't really get onto him. <<span class="mu-b">"Can't blame him."</span>> <<span class="mu-b">"They were feeding someone into that damnable thing. It wasn't even fun to watch."</span>
You rather not ask for any context. "It's fine. I know you had a rough time in there, let's just try to not think about that machine for a bit. Seventh floor. No point trying to save anyone else or loot the other floors if this place ends up like the Infinite Sea." What point is there to trying to do a dozen side missions if the main mission is made impossible, you know?
Naomi, Clover, Kiara and Audie nod and murmur with tentative agreement. Your other allies glance over at you, as if they're unsure if those four should come with. You rather not leave them here to stew in their own miserable thoughts so you simply nod, gesturing at your group to follow you.
You and your seven allies promptly heads back over to the elevator in the center of the third floor. It takes a solid moment to figure out how to get everyone inside of it. Clover solves the issue by putting Casey onto his back, adding just enough space for all eight of you to get inside. Sure, Kiara's face is being stuffed against your stomach and Wendy's elbow is jabbing into your side but fuck it, you're on a time limit here.
[PERSON OF INTEREST] That and you rather not have an ally get ambushed down there. This isn't a teleporter, it takes time to go up and down. Who knows what could happen in between those precious minutes?
The next couple of minutes are fucking agony and there's not even a bit of small talk to break the silence. You can only hope things get better before they get worse. Down, down, down you go.
