"What happened up there then, if you don't mind me asking?" One of the adventurers asked.
"We were sent to aid the Techs with fixing the light system in Zone 1R." Liz answered. "The Shifters sprung a trap and our friend was scouting at the end of Zone 1R. We got separated from him and multiple Shifters came after us."
"We had to get the Techs out but they all stayed behind to fight the Shifters while I guided the Techs out. I tried to come back but Ms. Victoria told me I couldn't go back. I was to await orders at the top." Ritsuka continued.
"We managed to secure one of the Shifters and kill the other one." Manny told them. "When I saw that wall go down at the end of the Zone, Lee Seng was gone. Everything was gone. No supportive columns, no trace of the two Shifters that fused together, no Lee Seng. Not a clue left."
