[ In the wake of the first tremors, Maria looks harried. Her hair is a mess and the video is shaking. ]

Listen to me very carefully. We need to get out of here! Whatever they have waiting for us out there is nothing on this.

[ She takes a deep breath, muttering more to herself than the video. ]

We're all going to die in here. They said I'd be safe.

[ It cuts out. ]

I'm leaving right now. They'll already know that we're coming. They're always watching us. You can't surprise them. You'll have to use brute force.

[Rosa visibly hesitates]

There's a way out via the ocean? What kind of guardians or traps can we expect?

[kore_npc]

I don't know. Anything.

[investigations]

[Rosa rubs her eyes. This isn't getting anywhere.]

Look, without something a little more to go on, I sincerely doubt many people will be interested. Especially when you're so unwilling to offer any real proof of even having a plan, much less a good one.

[kore_npc]

Then you'll all die here.

[investigations]

Be that as it may, I, at least, am not willing to risk your plan.

For what it's worth, I hope you're successful.
