Somnambulance [Retconned]

[Toaster]

Olivia neither accepted Damien's invitation to sit, nor did she take her eyes off of the blue orb, its light seemingly mesmerizing. Nevertheless, she listened to what the man had to say. At the mention of getting unknown others involved, she felt her hand slowly inch towards her holstered sidearm, as if of a mind of its own. Irritated, she stopped it, clenching her fist.

"If it's up to me, I'll get out of here and out of Liberty as soon as possible," she muttered, finally turning her head to face Damien. Her features looked drawn, the previous stand-off's adrenaline wearing off again and exhaustion reclaiming her mind and body. Nonetheless, her tone was that of determination. She knew that she had to set herself simple, straightforward goals, one after another, if she was going to get through this ordeal and to the bottom of whatever was happening to her.

Of course, she thought to herself, escaping Liberty with the help of the Xenos was unlikely to be either simple, nor straightforward. Nor was she certain whether the decision was, at this point, hers to make.
