[Yes my love it's me I love you so much I'm coming I'll rescue you—]

[hurts, hurts hurts hurts]

Then:
[love]

[consent is not one of your brother's kinks]

[??????]

Yeah, she's in no condition to be more coherent than that, it's back to being in agony.

"Yvette just said, and I quote, 'consent is not one of your brother's kinks.'

"What the fuck."

"... yeah, no fucking idea what to do with that. So I concur. What the fuck."

"She didn't mean it literally, I'm pretty sure, I think his sexuality is even more offline than mine, but... Whatever's happening is something she might've wanted to say yes to? So it's not that bad?

"Wishful thinking."

"You might be reading too much into it, I wouldn't take too much stock in what someone says under torture, but yeah, that'd be nice. Uh, entrance to the compound is over thataway," she points.

THATAWAY GO GO GO GO wait no just go go go go he shouldn't go too fast but HE WANTS TO.

Sigh.

"Okay, we're close enough that you can go turbo without probably breaking the car."

TURBO GO GO GO GO GO GO

Morgan has had like a month of putting up with this kind of shit. It’s one of the reasons she’s been sleeping so much.

"Entrance there," she says, pointing at a large rock that doesn't particularly stand out from the rest of the available rocks.

Okay he actually has to slow down now for this. "What am I looking for?"

"Nothing, I'll get out of the car and open it. I was supposed to bring you here, remember?"

"...right." So he drives over there, pulls up, and gets off.

"You're finally here!" says a suddenly appearing hivemind. "At that rate we thought you were never—"

Whoops his finger slipped into his gun's trigger. Six times.

"—rude!" they call after recoalescing.

"You stole his girlfriend," sighs Morgan, as she gets out of the car and gets to getting the entrance open. This involves poking a bit of rock and then offering her hand up to a keypad that appears. Then the rock lifts up, and there's a ramp large enough to accept a vehicle.

"And now drive in, we'll park inside and take the elevator down."

He shoots Zazi a dirty look and gets back into the car.

And Zazi starts sending some bugs into it too.

"Are you trying to convince me to exterminate you?"

"Ooo! Scary!"

The other bugs coalesce into a second body. "Don't be a spoilsport, we just want to watch."

"Zazi's likely got a bunch of themselves already down there through like, a dozen other entrances that they know about. Half of which they probably made. They're just fucking with you."
