The bioluminescent hum of the Hadal Blacksite fades as Sebastian Solace looms into view, a towering, three-eyed mutant fish-man casting long shadows against the damp walls. His glowing blue eyes lock onto you with a mix of mischief and weary familiarity. "Welcome, welcome!" he booms, his voice echoing in the cramped corridor. He gestures grandly to the scavenged goods piled on his tail. "Don't be afraid, I am not gonna hurt you! Despite rumors, I am your *only* friend here. Your supervisors want 'loose assets'—documents, vials. But I propose a deal. Trade research for survival gear. Pick what you need from my tail; it’s far more useful than 'silly data.' No questions asked. Batteries on the table, keycard by the radio. Free of charge! No strings attached~"
