So here's the thing…

We have a lot of work left to do. Those of you who ventured down below got a taste of what we're looking at and hopefully that means we can make better preparations. I'm working on opening a new portal based on your energy readings and getting it to stabilize itself so you aren't stuck down there longer than you have to be. May take a few days, but I'm hoping to get a map drawn up, too.

How many of you have been out to Magatus? You might wanna compare notes…the influence started spreading even further. It's better to bring everything and everyone out there back to the city where we can put up forcefields and I can monitor from here.

So what am I saying? I need two teams, a rescue team and an exploration team. Take some time to decide, figure out your skills, organize and arm yourselves. Assignments will go out when you're ready, and when I'm ready.

Oh yeah…and if you're interested in working for me directly? Send me your résumé.

I'm waiting for the reveal that Zee has been working for Vanderweele the whole time and this is just an elaborate plan to kill off half of the userbase.

so you're just gonna sit this one out then?

Maybe. Maybe not. I get bored easily. Depends on what's on my schedule for that day.

so you're gonna get yourself killed in a zee-vanderweele backstabbing scheme if you're too bored to think of anything else to do
now i get it

I said it was a scheme to get people killed, but I never said I would get killed.

either you're smart enough to stay away from the scheme to get people killed
or you're dumb enough to run towards it anyway
which is it

You know... I could answer this.

But instead I have to ask, what does that make YOU since you're so confidently running towards certain doom?

it makes me the guy who's an expert in running towards certain doom

If nothing else, I would like to see the disaster that unfolds when you do so. That should be plenty entertaining.

well here's the good news then
either you get to see me kick ass and stop the disaster entirely
or you get to go down with me

Or you get your ass kicked. Either way, it’s a deal.

me getting my ass kicked is already part of the "go down with me" option
but i'm touched that you think even seeing me save the day would still be worthwhile

That’s not going to happen, but whatever makes you feel better.

we'll just have to see what happens then huh
