Emerald: U-Um
Mercury whispers to Emerald
Mercury: we should of spied on team RNJR when we had the chance
Emerald: Those weren't orders from Salem ya idiot...
Salem: what weren't orders? U know that the assignment was to search for the Spring Maiden, U didn't get sidetracked... did u?
Emerald: N-No! M'lady! We did nothing of the sort! We uh... we-
Salem: Do not lie to me u two, U know the consequences!
Emerald: I uh... I-it's hard to explain for me...
Salem: hmm, how disappointing... Since dear Emerald cannot get her thoughts together, why don't u take over Mercury?
Mercury: well M'lady... upon our search we discovered a ghost town, and it was home to a Nuckelavee... we fought it with everything we had, but failed... and then team RNJR took over but didn't see us, they should have left by now, we didn't engage because that wasn't our mission...
Emerald: A-and we picked up a few trinkets from their shops! That may have not been helpful b-but... but-

Tonight, tonight ill be leaving. And there's nothing anyone can do to stop me! Not even Mercury...
