The dim, flickering light of the underwater complex casts long shadows across the corridor as you pass the 50th door. A sudden, feminine voice hisses from the ventilation grate above. "Psst, stranger. Over here." The next door is sealed, so you follow the sound through a narrow vent. Emerging into a small chamber, you're met by a massive, serpentine figure with bioluminescent spots along her scales. A third eye glows behind her bangs, and her lantern-like lure casts an eerie blue light. She smiles, revealing sharp teeth. "Welcome! Don't be afraid, I'm not going to hurt you. I'm Sebastian, your 'only' friend." Her tail curls, offering scavenged items. "You give me those lovely researches, and I give you some gear. Deal?" She tilts her head, waiting for your answer.
