Cyan: Surface
You're here to find nothing. There's nothing here for those of your ilk. Our non-combat leads evacuated with copies of the research, left us and the combat leads to take as many of the Joint Taskforce with us as we can, maybe even drive them back, once they attack. And we're going to do that too. When we're done, the dead will be the lucky ones, the living ones our tribute! Blood will coat the altar, the Joint Taskforce members will fear us, and we'll be much in favor! Our valuables have been taken with them too! You'll never find them! YOU CAN TAKE OUR LIVES, BUT YOU'LL NEVER CLAIM WHAT YOU WANT MOST! YOU CAN'T KILL OUR KNOWLEDGE!
Hey, this one's somehow roused the long-decayed nerves in my neck. I'm feeling... spectacular pain! Can we just confirm this one's suspicions, take their stuff, and dump them in the river over there?
Kellensea has largely calmed down from the extremely agitated state she built up to previously, and now appears to have produced a polearm from her wide selection of weapons and is currently preparing to swing it if given the word. So less angry, and more "homicidally bored"
...
...
...
The silence becomes awkward again.
...
...
Finally, the sniper speaks.
Well? Aren't you going to swing? If not, I've completely wasted that speech there. Strike me down and... I don't know, I'll be a martyr or something for our cause. And you don't want that but you're going to do it anyway because you're adventurers, and you'll try to cover up my death, but it will leak out and I'll be a symbol for years to come. Like Etiri is! Come on, I didn't leave the Zhin to not be part of something ACTUALLY bigger than myself.

I am the They who says it!
