You all begin swimming through the tunnel, eager to escape through the path that Squid has established. Prior to your escape she's sent out a ping request from the TV store. You can emerge and head back to the base from there. Wind moves towards you and Liza, his shape indistinct and blue. He speaks to her, while you focus on paddling silently.

"Hey."

"Hey. Everything good?"

"No, not really... I need you to do something as soon as we get out."

"What?"

"I'll brief you later."

His expression is hidden by the lack of textures. All six of you are just azure mannequins floating through the void. You've de-anchored your lifeline, and you're reeling it back as you proceed. It stops you from getting lost. At one point, the tunnel seems like it's going a different direction. Wind nearly leads the whole group too far right, but you force him to pause and confirm your location. Luckily, he changes his mind and starts going down the correct path.

Nobody speaks on the way back. Lenny is idly kicking his legs, Ryan is cradling his injured arm, Bella and Liza are quiet. Operation Augur has been a success, but they're surely feeling the loss of a friend. You're in no mood for banter, so you just keep kicking your way through the dark tunnel, with Porcupamon hovering above you.
