    Summary

    You’ve been repeating the same thing over and over for years at this point. Go in, fight for your life— sometimes you reach the crystal, sometimes you don’t, but it always ends with you back in the submarine.

    All it takes is the intervention of an outside force for that routine to suddenly change.

    Summary

    Expendable. That's all you were, all you'd ever be. Stuck in the depths of the Hadal Blacksite you've come to admit it to yourself. Just another Expendable, seeking a freedom that was never promised. You know of others in similiar plight. The experiments, that funky fish-looking dude with the snark and his static friend who often radio'd in whenever you were buying supplies.

    "It's either us or them."
    "You're just someone trying to persist in the unimagineable circumstances they placed you in."
    "Surviving doesn't make you a bad person."

    You'd heard Sebastian's softer words of comfort to Painter. Ofcourse they were only surviving, but so were you. Freedom was a precious thing you both sought, but they would never extend their trust to someone working for Urbanshade.
    So, despite the unimaginable circumstances, you seek to change that. To stray from the script.

    And you know, to avoid getting murked by Sebastian at every little inconvenience.

    Or,

    Player seeks to gain Sebastian & Painter's trust (and sometimes fails miserably).
