0:00
that it submerged underwater. And did
0:02
you see those columns of ice? The ones
0:04
descending from the surface all the way
0:06
to the floor. Afterwards, I realized
0:10
what they reminded me of. The columns
0:13
were reminiscent of a phenomenon known
0:17
When seawater freezes and turns to ice,
0:20
salt concentrates are released into the
0:22
surrounding water. This brine is heavier
0:26
than the water around it due to its
0:28
higher density. It therefore sinks
0:30
deeper into the ocean. As it flows
0:33
towards the ocean floor, its lower
0:36
temperature results in the formation of
0:38
ice. And as this process continues, it
0:41
can produce columnlike ice structures.
0:44
Any living creatures unfortunate enough
0:46
to become entangled in these can be
0:48
frozen solid. Little wonder they're
0:50
called icicles of death.
0:56
I don't really have anything else to say

His name is Neil. Neil Vana.
1:28
Neil Vana here. I thought he said
1:31
Nirvana. There must still be tar in my

It seems that the ID card you brought
1:38
back belonged to the man himself.
1:40
Charlie helped me dig up the details.
1:44
The card was issued by Bridges years ago
1:46
when the Cairo network was still being
1:50
Records confirm that Vanna has been dead
1:52
for some time. So, he was a member of
1:54
Bridges. No, it doesn't look like he
2:00
Vanna was a porter contracted by bridges
2:02
to handle jobs with special
2:04
requirements. Like all of you, he was a
2:07
doomsuffer who leveraged his abilities.
2:10
A top-notch porter by all accounts. He
2:13
worked the Mexican border, brought over
2:16
all kinds of useful stuff, ostensibly
2:19
resources and medical supplies, but in
2:21
truth, he transported drugs and other
2:26
So, he was a smuggler.
2:28
Vanna's ID card served as a key to some
2:31
of Bridg's secure installations, though
2:34
only a select few, of course.
2:36
Specifically, those dedicated to the BB
2:38
experiments along with various other
2:43
I believe that the place you went to for
2:45
cancelling was one of them. But
2:47
everything in that area was obliterated
2:50
11 years ago by a void out, one in which
2:55
and from which you alone, Sam, were
2:57
fortunate enough to emerge alive.
3:00
Prior to all that, your counseling
3:02
sessions made you a regular visitor.
3:04
Yes. Well, records indicate Vanna
3:07
frequented the same facility. There's a
3:10
fair chance that the two of you might
3:11
have met before. Stand clear. Do you
3:16
It's hardly surprising. A great number
3:18
of people pass through there all the

No one would remember them all.
3:49
Sam, it's Charlie. We've received your
3:51
next assignment. This main order can be
3:54
undertaken by accessing the delivery
3:56
terminal at East Fort Kn. While you
3:59
attend to that, we'll continue our
4:01
investigation into Neilana. I'll keep
