Want me to read you what it says? #id:20c - No, just give me the summary. #id:20d audio "res://common/audio_manager/assets/sfx/dialogs/voices/hm-hm_1.wav" - Yes, read it all to me. #id:20e audio "res://common/audio_manager/assets/sfx/dialogs/voices/hm-hm_1.wav" demeter: [i]3208 - Receipt of an unknown energy wave.

Poseidon is definitely lost; due to the planet's volcanic activity, he must have flooded the entire base... But all is not lost—if Hades wakes up... I... If I run the calculations again... #id:21d - Where is Hades located? #id:21e audio "res://common/audio_manager/assets/sfx/dialogs/voices/hmm_2.wav" - Are you okay, Demeter? #id:21f audio "res://common/audio_manager/assets/sfx/dialogs/voices/sorry_3.wav" demeter: My hardware has suffered significantly from the passage of time, but I can still perform calculations, so... Losing Poseidon certainly limits our options; he always helped me whenever he could, even though he didn't share my line of reasoning... #id:220 demeter: Hades is located in the [color=#FFA617][b]Subterra[/b][/color] base, and that base housed all the engineering resources needed to operate the planet's infrastructure. #id:221 demeter: Go find it; maybe we can restart it. #id:222 demeter: I'm setting up a room for you at the back of the base. #id:223 demeter: Orchid...
