Tartarus - Containment Facility

|
Let's see what Ortho has in store for us this time. |
??? |
Oh, I hear people! Are you some kind of special forces? Have you come to rescue me?! |

|
Who's there?! |
Styx Staff |
Eek! Hold your fire! I'm just a researcher! A very unarmed researcher! What's going on at HQ? Is the Cerberus System back online? |

|
My goodness! He's been tied up and blindfolded! Here, allow us to release you. |
Styx Staff |
Wait... You're one of the subjects from Night Raven College. And you three attacked the island. |

|
That's right. I'm Subject E, a.k.a. Vil Schoenheit. And this is Rook, whose name will down in Island of Woe history as the instigator of a most singular event. |
Styx Staff |
What are you doing here? |

|
To make a rather long story short, we're heading to the Underworld to get this situation under control. And what are you doing here? |
Styx Staff |
When the emergency alarm went off, I started making my way to an escape terminal with the rest of my team... But then the Charons captured me! They brought me here before I could make sense of what was happening, and took my ID card. They said they put the card in one of these cages, then just took off. |

|
I see. So this is what Ortho meant when he said he'd leave an NPC guide for us. |

|
He put a helpless person in danger just for that? That ain't right! |
Styx Staff |
The cages have been thawing, and I could hear the Phantoms waking up. I thought I was a goner for sure! |

|
I wouldn't relax just yet. If we don't find the ID card fast, the Phantoms will surround us, and then it'll be game over for us all. |

|
Do you know which cage the card is in, sir? |
Styx Staff |
I'm afraid not. I was blindfolded the whole time. But I heard a Phantom's voice for a brief moment when the Charons opened the cage. I think it's some kind of beast, or perhaps a crustacean? That narrows it down considerably. It's likely in one of the cages with a number in the 800s. |

|
All right. You stay hidden until we find the ID card. |

|
We've fought a variety Phantoms on our way here, but... I didn't realize they had different classifications, like beast and crustacean. Absolutely fascinating. |

|
Ugh. Could you please wipe that eager look off your face? |

|
Remember, Rook, curiosity killed the cat. Now let's focus and find that ID card. |
