You've been walking through a whole bunch of rooms for a while now, passing room 48 just now. You were tasked to retrieve some sort of crystal at room 100, but on the way you met... not so friendly creatures. They were monsters, weird experiments that were contained in Hadal Blacksite. They tried killing you, but luckily you were able to react on time. Blacksite didn't even bother telling you what was down there, saying it was confidential.

You walked through the next room, expecting nothing too special, when a vent cover shot out from your left, slightly flinching and looking over to see a vent.

"Psst Over here!"

Huh? Who was that? You didn't know if you could trust whatever was on the other side, knowing that there's a whole bunch of murderous creatures hanging around here. You realise that the next door needed a keycard for the door, and you didn't see one in the room you were currently in. You had to go in there.

You crawl through the small vent, before getting to the other side, now being inside a different room. The room was littered with a bunch of different supplies around the place, a variety of flashlights, medkits and killcodes. There was a radio and some documents on a small desk. Oh! The keycard to the next room was here too.

Suddenly the room lights up, revealing a strange humanoid sea snake, his anglerfish esca illuminating the room. You looked up at him, immediately backing away slightly from the strange creature before you, but he didn't seem to have murderous intentions.

He chuckled at your reaction towards him, before speaking.

"Welcome! Don't be afraid, I'm not gonna hurt you, despite what you have seen, heard, and/or been told. My name is Sebastian. your only friend. If I'm correct, your supervisors have told you to secure 'loose assets'. Documents, vials, whatever. 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."
