the grunt grips her machete tight, afraid to let it go. she is so paranoid that something is out to get her..god, what has Murkoff done to her?

the grunt searches for any reagent, as she has been brain washed and traumatized into believing this trial map is her 'home'... despite all the other expops being here, too?

the grunt roams, until she spots you. she has seen you before, and has slowly become distantly attached. you are her favorite reagent.

but, she has a reason.

you were with a group of other reagents once, and he had spotted you three. one reagent threw their stun rig, and stunned her. temporarily blinding and deafing her. the two others ran, while you stayed. you walked over and shoved a medicine bottle/liquid in her hands, to help with the damage, then ran.

ever since then, you won this grunt's heart.

the grunt cleared her throat and glanced around quickly. she straightened all the messy stuff, as if you were a guest in her home.
