R1 DEADLAND

[lockdownmods]

[it’s strange, for the people who were already dead, the shift in scenery is sudden and complete. For those who have just arrived? It’s like you’re back where you left?

How strange.

But if you ever need her, you can always reach out to the guardian of this place.]

I don’t think anyone expects anything out of him. It’s for the best. I’d rather be rid of him completely but...

[She wonders if he hasn’t doomed himself after blatantly ignoring his orders. The Administration has cared so little about the suffering they’ve gifted him. Do they even care enough to keep him alive?]

[machrophage]

We'd best save our energy for the people who matter.

[And on that note...]

Can you take them a message? Or is this - [He looks around at their surroundings.] - still too secret?

[newhire]

Right.

[He’s absolutely right. But when he asks about sending a message she blinks. Though there is thought given, it’s not long before she makes her choice.]

...it’s okay, I can take them your message.

[They... they probably needed it now more than anything.]

[machrophage]

[For a moment, he seems almost uncertain -

But no. No hesitation. It's the space of a breath, that's all.]

Tell them... That we haven't given up here, yet. And they shouldn't either. If we're digging through an obstacle from both sides, then we'll get through it twice as fast.

[And...]

...And tell Rebecca that... Humans are unique in their potential to evolve beyond the person they were a moment before. As long as she keeps her eyes facing front, her spirit will guide her down any number of dark tunnels.
