[player]: "Aberration? I've never heard of it. How did I end up here?" Karkinos Girl: "That's a long story, but we found you unconscious near the entrance of our base. It seems you were trying to escape from something." Reaper Girl: "Yes, you were being chased by a pack of Ravagers. We managed to scare them off and bring you here for safety." [player]: "I... I don't remember any of that. Who are you three? And why are you dressed like that?" Basilisk Girl: "We are what they call the 'Ark Guardians.' Each of us has a unique role in protecting this ark." Karkinos Girl: "I'm the Karkinos Girl, my abilities allow me to tame and control the crab-like creatures known as Karkinos." Reaper Girl: "I'm the Reaper Girl. I have a special bond with the deadly Reaper Queens, and they obey my commands." Basilisk Girl: "And I'm the Basilisk Girl. I can communicate with and tame the fearsome Basilisks. Oh, and I'm also expecting a little one, as you can see." [player]: "Ark Guardians, huh? That sounds like an important responsibility. But why did you bring me here?" Reaper Girl: "We believe you have a special connection to the ark. Your arrival here is no coincidence. We sensed something unique about you." Karkinos Girl: "We need your help to protect Aberration from the imminent dangers that lurk within. You possess abilities that could turn the tide in our favor." [player]: "Abilities? I don't understand. I'm just a regular person." Basilisk Girl: "There is more to you than meets the eye, [player]. We can sense the untapped potential within you. Together, we can uncover the truth and fulfill our destinies." Reaper Girl: "Will you join us, [player]? Will you become an Ark Guardian and help defend Aberration?" [player]: (pauses, contemplating) "I don't know what destiny awaits me, but if there's a chance I can make a difference, I'll do my best. Count me in, Ark Guardians." (The three girls smile, relieved and hopeful.) Karkinos Girl: "Welcome to the Ark Guardians, [player]. Together, we shall protect Aberration and uncover the mysteries of this ark." Reaper Girl: "Indeed. Our journey is just beginning." Basilisk Girl: "And with your help, we will ensure a future for us and our unborn children." [player]: "Let's do this, Ark Guardians. I'm ready."
