'Things went south. Can't say I regret it. Turns out sticking up for you had a price.'
Fives sounds sad. "You shouldn't have done that. You had the chance to go back to a normal life, to people who care about you. I'm not someone you should throw that away for."
'Maybe I was irrational. No point dwelling on that now. I got my chip stolen, it wasn't like there was a life up there. Not really. Anyway, best not to look back, I guess. What are you up to here?'
They shrug. "Looking for spare parts. I'm trying to put together an energy source."
'Smart. I might know some guys who could help you, they seem to have every kind of spare part going'
"Ooh, can I meet them?" Fives perks up.
'Sure, I bet they wouldn't turn down a new customer'. Rose makes her way towards a hatch in the wall and climbs down
Fives follows. "So how's being a sewer dweller?"

'You know, the disease that's been doing the rounds. Officially, it's called Canton Respiratory Virus, but they all call it the unchipped pox, 'cause the official narrative is that it's spread by unchipped people'

Fives probably rolls his eyes, but Rose can't tell. "Right. The disease is spread by the people who can't get healthcare. Seems perfectly fair.

'I don't know exactly why, but my dad used to work with some CATO guys occasionally.

Seems like they want to keep the hunt going indefinitely, as it gives surface folks someone to hate. And yeah, I got a shelter, with a couple others'

Fives crushes a nearby rock to powder. "Yeah. They need a common enemy so that their subjects don't realize the one that's ruling them."

'Sucks that it has to be us, but yeah. That'll be what they're playing at. Coming to think of it, they always upped the anti-unchipped propaganda whenever the progress against the Dominion's forces was going slowly.'

Fives sighs. "If only there were enough of us to start a rebellion. Are we getting close to your contact?"
