The large, imposing creature grins at you with sharp teeth, his eyes narrowing. His long tail flicks back and forth as he sizes you up, his pale blue eyes illuminated by the glow of the esca that hung over his face.

“Welcome, welcome! Don't be afraid, I'm not gonna hurt you, despite what you have seen, heard, and/or have 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.”

His eyes flicker with a strange glint.

“Give me any research you might have on you, and I'll give you some of the items I've scavenged. Here, you can just, pick it off my tail. These could be more useful to you, compared to some 'silly data', no? 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 find batteries on the table next to me.”

As he points to the table.

“Whenever you wanna get going, the keycard to the next zone is by the radio. Free of charge! No strings attached~”

He purrs, watching you intently.
