You toss over your spare PISTOL ROUND over to Naomi since frankly, she should probably stop letting her silver instincts kick in with all of this knife work nonsense. Even if it's impressive that she's even still physically active enough TO use a knife without crumpling into dust at the first sign of resistance.
She catches it after fumbling with it and puts it into her pocket. Perfect distraction to pull out the HÄLSA serum so you can hand it over to her. Naomi narrows her only eye for a moment upon seeing the serum before she immediately snatches it from your hand.
She pops the cap off the vial before chugging the contents inside in one smooth gulp. She puts the cap back, keeping the empty vial for later. The tattoos across her scarred, cracked skin light up for a brief moment after she drank the serum. The gauze around her nose falls off, revealing a burnt but otherwise perfectly repaired nose.
Guess it can't repair scars but it's a start. You do wonder what is inside of the serum specifically. Maybe you can show Benjamin it later to see what he can figure out about it.
>NAOMI now has full FLESH!
>NAOMI now has the boon HÄLSA REGENERATION! (Has four charges per mission. Can spend two to heal 1 FLESH or a CRIPPLING INJURY. Can spend one charge to regain 1 RESTRAINT. Bypasses LINGERING SCARS.)
>-1 HALSA SERUM, -1 PISTOL ROUND. +1 PISTOL ROUND TO NAOMI.
"Excellent." Naomi giggles with a dopey, silly looking smile. It disappears as quickly as it appeared once she realizes what she's doing. "Ignore that."
Wendy and Sable snort in unison. "DORKASS." "Dummy." Naomi can't even fight back with an actual argument and instead tries her best to ignore the two giggling at her expense.
"Shush." Audie snaps his fingers towards the giggling Company Rep and your own specter. "Where do we go from here, Nicole?"
You pull out your phone to quickly type out a simple note: "SPOOKS FOLLOWING. BE WARY. KEEP EYES OUT. DO NOT SAY A WORD, COULD BE LISTENING." You then hold it up to your allies. The seven of them crowd around to see what you wrote down.
Your allies mutter incoherently to each other before they quickly decide it's best not to ask any questions about how you know this for certain due to, well, being the only one besides Kiara and Naomi who even knew they existed more than a few hours ago.
"We're going to check out whoever's in that room." You jab a thumb in the direction of the dark room. "Brace for an ambush in case we need to fight again."
Wendy lets out a low, deeply satisfied whistle. You shudder a bit when you see how excited Wendy got at the idea of beating another person or anomaly to death. Naomi seems hesitant to enter that room specifically for some reason but Casey is already pushing you and Naomi over to the room.
Welp. No time to think or regret about your decision. Your other allies trail behind you as you are forcefully shoved into the dark room. Hopefully the person here isn't another wacko.
