“They don’t quit, do they?”
“No, they don’t. They’ve accused me of every major crime in the book now. And I don’t think the actual interview I had with JRN-77 yesterday ever hit the air… only heavily edited footage that paints me as a maniac.”
“A JRN Machinaut? They’re built to hate the concept of editing footage at all.”
“Doesn’t matter to the Axo. I told JRN-77 to carry a Cryotech for his own safety. ...I shouldn’t have to recommend something as expensive as a Cryotech.”
“Yeah... Cryotech stuff is expensive. Always a great choice for personal protection if you can afford it, though. Remember when we worked on the Freezing Vaporizer line? Interesting project, that.”
“It was to aid an expedition to the Firestorm Citadel, right? Ah, I remember that project. It was… good work. Honest work. We were focused on the good the Vaporizer could do- pacifying dangerous Beasts, shutting down haywire Constructs, aiding in returning Slag Walkers to rest. That’s what this job should be all about, right? Making good things… Helping Gremlins and Machinauts. I forgot how that feels. All my thoughts have been on fighting back against the Axo.”
“Maybe once the Axo get lost, we’ll be able to do some good work again.”
“...hey, Anvytt, can you hold on to this?”
“Is that... Hey, it’s the scrap ring from that project. When was that? Third-Year?”
“Yeah. Remember that? It was good work. No matter what... we’ll do things square. No backstabbing. No murder. All for the good of the Torchbellow. Do you promise that?”
“Of course I promise.”
“All right. If I ever forget... Show me this, all right?”

Sepulcrum collapses, and your only opposition inside the room is a frozen Howlitzer. The way forward is clear.
Ahead of you is... well, it seems like a perfectly normal Gremlin workshop. Nothing too fancy, aside from perhaps the tubes of Spectralgam lining the walls. If you didn't know what Zallinock was doing, it would seem like nothing was amiss here at all. On the other side, a lone automatic metal door awaits, with an old Torchbellow energy lock placed over it; behind it, you hear a low electronic hum.
"...you're here." Zallinock says, "Go on, then. I'm in the next room."
"Sounds like a trap," Adjutant says. "You're fond of those, aren't you? Advance Force, there are some medical supplies in there. Grab any Hearts you can find. Zallinock isn't far."
