I got it back eventually, though, which is good for you three, 'cause otherwise you would've been waiting there for the rest of your lives, hahah!"
A pause. "Oh, yeah, and I guess there were some knuckleheads who came from that tunnel back there. Dunno what that was about. Pretty sure I hadn't seen them before, but I dunno. I just work here."
