If there was one thing she’d become familiar with in her stay in this city, it was when their generous hosts were actively changing the environment around them. Though few prizes were offered for such a realisation. She’d touched down on the floor before she’d even had time to hypothesise what might be below.
What a dank place. Lovely. It reminded altogether too much of the ordeal she’d had to go through down in District Alpha, yet this seemed even worse. Less of an industrial sewer, more natural. Why didn’t it surprise her they had something even deeper. The cavern seemed fairly large, and as she adjusted to the temperature, she could make out three different exits.

And I have a hunch we all need to make it there, but I don’t quite want to die testing that theory out.
That being said, I think it’s best we disclose exactly what we have gained back from the scientists. Personally I’ve been lucky to receive a fair deal, and only my most taxing or time consuming abilities are unavailable.”
