SOMA | The Meme Dump

LEVON

What do you want me to do?

JUNE

A half mile east of Hanlan's Point is a clay burrow that rises out of the woodland like a boil. It can’t be missed. The burrow houses a buried treasure of sorts. Some pirate or parasite has been hoarding precious things there.

LEVON

A Rat King?

JUNE

This is no dilution! It's the work of human sneakthieves. Greedy trolls...

June’s eyes widen.

JUNE

Your task, pledge, is to enter the burrow and steal back what you find in there. Steal back something and regift it to the world.

June raises her arms for theatrical effect.

LEVON

What’s guarding it?

JUNE

I will say nothing more!

LEVON

Some deranged hobo? Weird school brats? Who buries loot in a clay pit?

June tries to keep a straight face but begins to giggle, tears welling up in her eyes.
