"And I fought for it. Everyone has their own battles to fight in order to reach happiness and I've beaten mine." His faint orange eyes almost shine in the dim light of the station. "All I want to do now is to help others fight for their own happiness."
"As long as I can ensure Max is happy, my friends are happy, and my patients are nice and healthy? There's nothing for me to worry about." Your mind can't process you're hearing these words from a dopey nerd who wears matching fingerless gloves with his tomboy trust fund baby gf. It just can't.
...but you're proud to see how far he's grown as a person. You smile at him with a type of warmth you didn't know you had in you. "I'm glad you're doing okay. If there's anything that bothers you-"
"I'll tell you or Max. I promise." Benjamin pats you on the back. "C'mon. We got places to be."
>+3.5% CRIMSON SPARK progress to BENJAMIN! 69/170 PROGRESS!
With him leading the way, you check up with the rest of your allies.
>97!
Holy shit. You gotta give Max props, she really understood the assignment. Every single one of your allies is basically unrecognizable to you now. The only one who's still remotely recognizable is Clover and Kiara. Though to be fair that's only because Clover is 6'6" and Kiara's an android.
Their outfits and hairdos have been dirtied and oiled to the point they look like the rest of the hollowed out husks in D-Company. The only people who would recognize your group would probably be the spooks but only if they got a solid look at your faces. It's clear most of them are not enjoying being coated in grime but it's a price they have to pay.
The six of you proceed to exit the station now that you got everything settled.
The streets you spill out onto look pretty much the same as when you last saw them. Swarms of desperate people walking throughout poorly maintained streets. You're actually shocked to see cars driving through the roads, those aren't really that common in a lot of the City outside of G-Corp.
The buildings are, as to be expected, also poorly maintained if the station itself was any clue. Though it's hard to make out anything because of the dark haze surrounding everything. That's when you remember: Oh! You got some nightvision googles and some DWARFSTONE CHUNKS. You'll probably give the DWARFSTONES to some of your allies since this is probably going to be the best situation to use them in.
Casey stumbles onto a small box hidden in a cervice by the station entrance. She pulls it out and opens it up to reveal the goodies you bargained for.
YOU OBTAIN
>DELUXE HARPOON GUN x2! (Replaces two regular HARPOON GUNS. RANGED WEAPON, ATTACK ROLL: VIOLENCE+4. Has one shot before needing to reload but has infinite ammo. On top of the regular effects of HARPOON GUNS, attacks made with it are near impossible to heal.)
>NIGHTMARE VISION GOOGLES (Everything look the same. Allows the user to see invisible targets, see in the dark, and halves any obscuration-based penalty they face)
