They couldn't pay you to stick around. You got your target; You are FUCKING LEAVING. You especially feel the urge to leave when you hear banging against the airlock you JUST closed behind you.
Fuck. They're ruthless.
"Do you think that'll hold?" You wave your hand towards the airlock. "I mean. They should be burning down there for a while. Right?"
"We have tested how our powers interact with combined together. Frequently." Benjamin gently runs his palm down the sealed airlock. His body shivers from a mix of fear and pleasure. "They will burn there. Forever more."
Max decides to clarify on that since Benjamin seems to be in his own little world at this point. "They'll be burning for a week or so." Really? You suppose that tracks given how their powers benefit each others'
"With the amount of plant matter in there and oil I spilled? Well-"
Kiara hums out a chorus of beeps, boops, and electronic chirps. "Already calculated it. You just need to buy thirty minutes to make sure they can't climb out."
"Verily! Dost thou let anything escape thine glorious robotic gaze?" Casey is really trying hard to sound knightly but it fails a bit flat.
"Is she okay?" Seath jabs his mold-covered thumb at Casey.
"don't worry. She's just like this sometimes." You dismiss any concerns he has with a simple handwave. At least she's not rambling about putting her sisters in bodybags this time.
"Go find something to block the door."
Clover, Kiara and Max leave for a quick moment to retrieve some intact furniture from the HEAD RESEARCHER OFFICE to block the door with. Max leaves behind a bottle of that fancy wine she brought, just in case. That leaves you with Benjamin and Casey. The two most mentally stable characters to pair together!
"You know, I haven't gotten a proper opportunity to study someone under an anomalous infection...off the clock." Benjamin gingerly opens the HARVESTING KIT you gave him. "Sit still. Please."
[DELUSIONAL] He flashes a smile that's not trying to be malicious but he's too invested in the prospect of studying Seath's condition. His eyes are starting to bug out just a little bit...
Seath is trying his best to laugh off the situation involving before him. Said laughter is incredibly hollow and fake.
You promptly smack Benjamin on the back of the head. "Ow!"
[OPTIMSITIC SPIRIT + CORPORATE DOUBLESPEAK] "Esquire Benjamin, you are bothering Lord Seath! I do not wish to reprimand you for I know you can do wonderous medicial miracles but remember! Patch him up so he can be a worthwhile assistant towards our company."
Benjamin takes a moment to clear his head. He nods, agreeing to NOT treat your valuable VIP like a guinea pig. "My head's been feeling all sorts of weird ever since we came in here. I feel like a roll of string being unwound."
>Benjamin heals 1 RESTRAINT thanks to Casey! He now has 4/6!
>He gains +2% PROGRESS as well! He is now at 113/170!
"I can relate to that." Seath awkwardly chuckles. "So. Mind patching me up already?"
