For the briefest of moments, you feel a gust of wind blowing past you. Despite the fact you're hundreds of feet underground. The flowers on the many roots and branches all shift over to point right at your group. It's like a thousand eyes are staring down at you, waiting to see what you'll do.
"WE SHOULD BURN IT." Sable whispers to the group. "IT'S BETTER TO FORGET. TO LET THE PAST FADE AWAY."
"Forget?" Audie stares at the specter with glazed over, watery eyes. "We can't forget. It's not right to forget."
"Do we even have the right to decide either way?" Quentin chirps with obvious unease in his voice. "It's not hurting US. It IS ONLY watching. Maybe WE SHOULD let it be?"
Your allies and disembodied specter begin to whisper-yell at each other in hushed whispers over what they should do. The flowers all shift to face your muttering group. You got a moment to do something without the anomaly noticing what you plan on doing next.
You pull out that old ID card you found back in the research lab and the fake ID you've been saving for a rainy day. With your telekinesis, you hold up your pocket knife to chisel away at the plastic around the agent's face. Once you chiseled it out enough to remove it, you do the same for your fake ID.
You then stick your face into the spot where the old agent's face would be with the help of some sticky secretions from MANAGER'S FLESH. You now have a very shoddily made fake Agent ID of yourself. It's probably enough to trick the anomaly if you keep your distance.
Kiara's LED eyes light up once she spots what you're doing. While your other allies are busy bickering, she steps up towards the anomaly with an awestruck look on her face. She still keeps her distance from it to be safe but she reaches a hand up towards the air before loudly beeping out a tone to get its attention.
All of your allies + Sable stop bickering once they realize that you and Kiara are actually doing something. It's just the two of you trying your best to handle this situation. You two ARE the only ones who have really dealt with anomalies regularly before.
"You wish to be remembered. The others WANT to remember you. A monument of flesh and bone made TO be recognized." Kiara takes careful steps towards the anomaly as she begins to rationalize what exactly the anomaly is supposed to be: Its PARADIGM. Its reason for existence.
"There's nobody to remember you here, though." You proceed to follow after Kiara with careful, slow steps. "The only survivors here barely even know what you're supposed to stand for. A monument without purpose."
All of the flowers continue to stare down at the two of you. That's all the anomaly is doing as you and Kiara approach it. Staring. Watching. You're talking to something that will never, ever talk back to you. A voice snuffed out so long ago. The air has gotten thicker with a mixture of opium poppy pollen and fumes from the energy-contaminated water below.
Your head spins.
"Don't you want to be remembered?"
