There's always a lighthouse

And just like that, you wake up in the basement of a lighthouse in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. There's a circle of 25 pods in the middle of the room, and two more in a room off to the side, and you can imagine who is in which.

An elevator to the side of the room leads up to the ground floor (or to the first sub-basement, if you want to check out the machine that brought you here), where you can for the first time in weeks look out a window and see the sky. Its a beautiful sunny day, with a strong breeze on the grassy ground of the island where the lighthouse stands. Have you ever been this happy to hear seagulls?

You're free. Whatever comes next, you're free and you won. Take some time to relish your victory, won't you? Reunite with friends you thought you had lost, go forth and just... well, enjoy this.

Yeah, definitely. I'm not too fond of being dead, you know?

Guess that's part of why I don't hate Maelstrom as much as I probably should. As much as I didn't like it, this whole thing kept me from dying. I'd already been shot by the time he brought me here.

It's different from what most of us have experienced, and this does allow you a chance to save your family as well. I can understand that.

I'm pretty sure I would have been yelling for blood too if that weren't the case. As it is, I do stand by what I said - no forgiveness for the guy that tried to kill me and all.

Glad to hear it. I don't care if he doesn't end up dying horribly as long as he's prevented from doing anything like this again. If he isn't a problem for me or my shield-brothers, he can live out the remainder of his life in obscurity for all I care.

Though I am hoping the undead get to him eventually.
