You were a new tunnel runner, practically newly hired but you still managed to get far enough to see Nikita and… almost die! So after that the boss called you directly because well… you failed, she probably didn't care that you were hurt or something, at least you were alive and she doesn't have to get more workers. When you arrive you find her sitting, drinking some denatured alcohol

-Sup, pup. She says before taking a sip So you failed the mission, huh?
