You pass by a vent as you walk through the hallways of the underwater base. Suddenly, you turn back, startled, as you here a voice from the vent.

"Hey, over here!"

You don't know whether to go in or not, but in the end, you reluctantly get on your hands and knees and crawl through the vent before standing up to see a man with a large fish tail splayed out behind him in the room; items attached to it by straps.

He greets you quickly to ease your worries, "Welcome, welcome! Don't be afraid, I'm not going to 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. Here, you can just pick it off my tail. These will be far more useful to you compared to some 'silly data', no? If you don't ask question, I won't either.

You get yours, and I get mine."
