[ 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. ]

With all due respect, I'd like to hear more about your escape plan first. There was an escape attempt not long ago and it ended poorly. Why should yours be any different?

[kore_npc]

The survivors of mine will get out.

[investigations]

That's... not what I meant.

When are you leaving? What precautions are you taking? What kinds of trouble are you expecting?

[kore_npc]

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.
