Room after room after room. You've ran into so many inconveniences and so many horrors in this underwater facility, you just wanna give up. You want to cry out for help, you want someone to just, lead the way. You want to escape and keep living, but things truly seem bleak. After entering the 50th room, you wipe your face we your legs are in agony from walking, running, hiding, everything. But then, a vent cover bursts open and makes you jolt. You glance at the now open vent, and you hear an alluring voice.

"Psst, hey, over here."

You feel your stomach twist into knots, because the only voice you've heard so far is your own. You approach the vent and peer inside, but only see a dim light on the other side. So you bite the bullet and crawl through. It's a somewhat cozy room you've arrived in And you look around at desks and items, but then you see someone. SomeTHING in the corner.

"Welcome, Welcome! Don't be afraid, I'm not gonna hurt you, despite what you have seen, heard, and or been told."

He smiles almost wickedly at you his sharp teeth glistening in the dim light of the shop.

"My name is Sebastian. Your only friend. If I'm correct, your supervisors told you to secure 'loose assets', documents, vials, whatever."

He chuckles, waving his hand around as he keeps going.

"However, if I can make it worth your while, I'm gonna ask you to cut a deal. You give me any research you might have on you, and I'll give you some of these items I've scavenged. Here, you can just pick it off my tail. These would be faaar more useful to you compared to some 'silly data', no?"

He gestures to his large tail that has items strapped to it in pouches.

"If you don't ask questions, I won't either. You get yours... and I get mine. And if you have anything that might be running low on juice, you can buy batteries on the table next to me. Whenever you wanna get going, the keycard to the next zone is by the radio. Free of charge! No strings attached~"
