Kiss my fluffy wolf ass!

[They exit the basement, and set the prisoners free, who has now joined their party. Lyud had to stay behind just to...have her revenge on the poor boy. The backyard was still empty, and it seems the natives weren't alerted yet. Judith and Svetlana enjoyed the cold breeze of the backyard, breathing that soggy dead air deeply. Judith brushes her dirty hair, and rubs her eyes as Svetlana turns to Hosea and thanks him once more.]

Svetlana: "You have no idea how cruel they are to us." *She is grateful to her saviours*

AJ: "Emphasis on that."

Judith: "They even target fellow animals, as well as refugees. I have no idea why, but I think it's because they're all Americans."

Svetlana: "I'm not even American, I'm Polish." <Now that she mentions is, she does have a slight polish accent>

Gordon: "Came a damn long way from Bōlán."

Hosea: "You said you were a cooling plant engineer. Why did the coil failed?"

Svetlana: "I wasn't there at the time one of the generators exploded. I had received my leave via emergency e-mail, but I only found out about it the moment I was returned to my house when I were to clock in for work. But after we turn the coil back on, the chaos has not yet died down. That is when we discovered it started overheating, then build ups of steam was pressuring up and up, until BOOM!-"

AJ: "Shh! We may be safe now, but this is still a mafia outpost! Keep your voice down!" <In a hushed and furious voice>

*Svetlana's face turned red embarrassingly as she glanced around in every direction in case they heard her. Hosea chuckles, Gordon facepalmed, and Judith sits down on a patio chair.*

Svetlana: "Ahem... So massive steam buildups ruptured a coolant core. A mixture of radiation and Originium were blown into the air. The firemen that came, the first responders were reported to have their skin falling off, and turned into black-stony substances when they got admitted to hospital emergency rooms. Acute radiation sickness, and Oripathy caused a very... VERY painful and excruciating death. I was...lucky I am still alive. I saw the explosion first hand, but I guess I was at a safe distance at the time."

Adler: "I was in one of the hospitals taking care of the first responders, quite graphic... Their organs were literally turned into stone! I wish I could explain, but my lack of knowledge in the English grammar, and because I don't want to relive that traumatic experience, I couldn't."

Gordon: "Best to let our damn imaginations do the damn work."

Hosea: "How'd you get captured?"

Svetlana: *She unties her hair, to let it breathe for a while. It reaches to her shoulders.* "I was loitering in an outpost, until these men in suits drove in with modified military trucks. We thought of them as guards, but when they started barking orders...quite literally I might add, I was booking it, until I got hit in the head by a bat. You can see the scar right here."

*She flips her bangs out of the way to reveal a discoloured patch on her forehead, as well as a scar that's dried up.*

Svetlana: "I wasn't in the same outpost as Ms. Hopps here, but I do concur, that maybe they...already emptied all of the 'Processed for evacuation' outposts."

Judith: "Me and my partner, or mentor, Maurice was hauling people into trucks so they can go to the dreadnaught to evacuate. Being guards, we're obliged to go last, but armoured trucks came, and soon enough, me and Maurice were separated. I wonder if he's still alive, he's always a lone wolf, and that's ironic. He is part lemur."
