Glorious, come in.

This is Valiant.

Anyone there?

Give me a fucking break with the, you scientists are dabbling with things that should be left alone schtick.

How many other monoliths do you know of that harbour demons from hell?

Nobody had a clue what we were getting into.

Now why don't you save the blame game crap and try being part of the solution and not a pain in my ass.

If we can get back to the ship, back to the drones, we might be able to get down there and put an end to them.

Or, at the very least, damage them enough to pull up anchor and get the fuck out of Dodge.

I don't understand how some underwater machines could have anything to do with what happened tonight.

That thing was some kind of... monster.

It sounds like you've been watching too many sci-fi movies.

We're not those kinds of scientists.

And we didn't come here to run experiments.

We came here to search for relics.

And if we found any, recover them.

That's it.

No Tesla coils, no bubbling test tubes, no genetic recombination.

Just a search and recovery job.

Though I'm not sure what, if anything, that might mean.
