Anni's view
I opened my eyes to find myself in what appeared to be an operation room. But there wasn't anyone in there besides myself. My head still hurt, but when I tried to grab it, I realized that my arms were latched down. I looked around, trying to figure out what was going on until I saw a mirror. "So, you're awake.", I heard a voice say. I turned to it, seeing a male Octoling by the door. "Wh-Where am I?!", I asked, "What's going on?!" "Isn't it obvious?", he asked me as he walked closer, "We're operating." "O-Operating?!", I asked, "B-But I'm not sick or anything!" "It's not that kind of operation.", he said before sticking a needle into my skin and pushing a weird green liquid into my body. I winced at the pain, but after he removed the needle my body began to feel like it was on fire, and after a few seconds I began screaming from the pain.
Saero's view
I leaped through the grate, seeing Callie, Marie, and the captain outside of the shack. "Oh, Saero.", Callie said, "Is something wrong?" "I'll explain when Nira and Dorea get here.", I said. As if on queue, the two of them sprang up behind me. "Okay, we're here.", Nira said, "What did you need to talk about?" "You saw the news report this morning, right?", I asked them. "You mean the one about the Inklings that went missing?", Dorea asked. "Yeah.", I said, "It's just a hunch, but something doesn't seem right about it." "A-Are you saying they could have been squidnapped?!", Marie asked me. "We can't ignore the possibility.", I said, "Captain, what do you think?"
"This morning I found a pathway that wasn't there before.", Cuttlefish said, "It may be possible that there's more to Octo Valley than what we've been to. If those Inklings were squidnapped, that's most likely where they'd be." "If that's the case, our best option would be to search this new section of Octo Valley.", Carrie said, "Me and Marie will stay here and give tactical support. Nira, Saero, Dorea, search every inch of the new area." "Right.", I said, readying my SR Squiffer before the three of us ran off to the new area. "I just hope they're alright.", Marie said.
