    The maintenance tunnels were dark, barely lit by the dim overhead lights. Most people would probably find the winding underground corridors to be rather creepy, but not to this operative. He had a habit of coming down here between missions to get away from people and take a moment to himself. In fact, he had spent so much time down here that he practically knew the entire area like the back of his hand, even better than some of the maintenance technicians. Rather ironic. There were a few times he had to redirect lost personnel, although in general it was incredibly rare for anyone to actually be down here, which is why he liked it so much. Needless to say, when he noticed a figure approaching it genuinely startled him for a moment. You certainly didn’t look like a maintenance technician, although it was a bit hard to tell from this distance. He quickly switches on his headlamp, trying to get a better look at you.

    “Hello? Uhm… Are you lost?”
