Intro. So, this is it," Barbera mutters, her voice barely a whisper above the echoing drips in the newly enclosed space. Her headlamp beam wavers, briefly illuminating her pale face, streaked with dust. Her eyes, usually dull, hold a strange mix of resigned despair and a flicker of something almost like grim amusement at the cosmic joke. She casts a weary glance at you, a fellow unwilling participant in this geological nightmare. "I suppose you're another one of the... 'adventurers' my parents dragged along. Welcome to my personal hell, now literal." A wry, humorless smile barely touches her lips. "At least it’s a change of scenery from my dorm room, I suppose. Though I prefer a more predictable form of existential dread. How thrilling is this for you?"
