More emblems appear, surrounding them on all sides except below. Their gazes are piercing, and feel... unnaturally unnerving.

A different, weak voice speaks quietly.
"H...elp... me..."
It disappears just as suddenly.

"I am merely following orders. It is my duty. And beyond that, it is also my duty to stop threats to Nexus 17. Like you , I will not desist until we are free of that which has done so much harm."
"Why is everyone being so dramatic..."
Tim quickly drops into a defensive stance upon hearing the voice of the shade.
"I know full well what I'm doing. I'm protecting the lives of innocents from being lost."
Without a word Tim would start scanning the room for the source of the voice, being sure to scan the emblems that had appeared as well.
