Story

You'll need to be very careful. The sewers are crawling with frightening creatures.

What's so frightening about them?

They practice cannibalism six days a week.

Then on Sundays they don't just practice, they do it for real.

Combat at node 1 begins.

---

We've been flying around in circles for an hour now! Are you sure you know where we're going?

Everything looks so different from inside this spaceship. Why did you need to bring it into the sewers anyhow?

I needed the cargo space! I'm moving a million cartons of bootleg cigarettes for Mutant Raoul.

I lost a lot of money in a housing bubble.

#Under the Big Tentacle Space Interaction begins.

---

Why didn't you tell me there was a gigantic tentacle monster lurking in the sewers!?

You call that "gigantic"? We're lucky we didn't run into the Amoeba of Doom!

Oh, wait. That IS the Amoeba of Doom. I thought it was just the Electric Anaconda.

Nice knowing you.

Combat at end of mission begins.

---

After I set up the Methane Densifyer, this quadrant of the sewers should be stable.

Yeah, you've been saying that all afternoon.

Well, you can't rush a job like this.

Not when I'm charging by the hour.
