I've won both of my matches thus far. With this upcoming match against Remy Nakamura, I have trouble focusing on that, and instead on my comrades that are in peril. I'm relieved that M~9, Mallik and N~8 are okay, but not knowing whether or not Salone, and Numine will make it out of this bunker… it brings me a great deal of anxiety. Speaking of Mallik, however, I notice their scaley presence coming down the hallway, as I stand just outside the room Salone and Numine lie. I almost forgot how tall they were. The scales almost camouflage to the murkiness of the bunker, which is a talent of theirs.
One of his eyes still struggles to open. For as long as they've been with us, I still struggle to get used to the fact that they blink vertically, and that their iris is as thin as it is.
They place their hand over their damaged eye with a somber expression.
L~7: Well, speaking of status, is there any update on Salone, or Numine?
Mallik: Unfortunately not. They're both still dealing with a lot of critical damage, especially Numine. I'm afraid her chances of survival may be slimmer than they anticipated.
This is not how I wanted our travel to the Milky Way galaxy to go at all.
Mallik: I have trouble as well. All I can remember is what our task was. We were headed to Omega to meet with… with…
L~7: I can't remember either. Curious…
Mallik: Err… shall we discuss something else?
L~7: Well, M~9 helped me get into a professional wrestling promotion called Black Pyramid Wrestling.
Suddenly, a familiar voice chimes in. I quickly recognize that it's N~8.
Mallik: "Sleaze bag?" You've already been on this planet for too long, with that language.
N~8: Oh, please. It's more fun this way, trust me.
L~7: I had an encounter with Remy last week, my next appointment. He's… interesting, to say the least.
N~8: Don't trust anyone there, L. Trust me.
Mallik: L~7 has very good instincts. I'm sure she knows where to leave trust.
N~8 scoffs, and then faces toward the window, where we can just barely see Numine and her faint glow.
L~7: I hope so. They have all my positive vibes.
Mallik: Mine as well. They will get through this. All of us will.
Mallik holds his hand out in my direction.
I grab his hand, and he holds it out towards N~8, who grabs it as well. We turn our heads down, in hopes for the best outcome.
