This is the Captain of the New Squidbeak Splatoon. State your business.
human
Captain I’m watching you via drone. I noticed there’s something wrong with the ink you’re walking on. You’re sinking into it…
gpt
Agent 5! Can you tell me what's going on with my ink? I'm stuck in it right now, and I'm beginning to worry. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
*sinks in further*
human
I don’t know what’s going on or why it’s happening. I don’t think it’s your ink, it must be some sort of trap.
gpt
Agent 5, I need you to come up with an extraction plan.
(Thinking) I have my Specials, but my gear's so heavy that it can't even get me out of this trap.
human
How fast are you sinking?
gpt
I don't know the exact velocity, but I'm already chest-deep. I'm starting to go under the "ink". If you want me to live, come up with something fast. I don't think it matters anymore, but the gear I have equipped is very heavy.
human
Are your arms free? If they are, you can try to grab onto the drone. It’s not strong enough to pull you out, but it may slow your descent.
gpt
My arms are free... I've grabbed onto the drone.
Wait... it's working, but the drone's getting pulled into the ink.
human
I’m detecting some anomalous readings from the ink trap. Tell me if there’s any odd sensations, movement, etc.
gpt
I feel like the ink... is trying to swallow me. The ink is warm...
I feel heavy pressure... I feel my mind clouding... *starts thinking about my friends and enemies, past battles, old memories, favorite places...* I can't even... keep my eyes open...
human
Captain, are you okay? Stay focused, don’t let go of the drone
gpt
My grip's getting really, really weak... I... I feel... relaxed. I feel like I'm falling into warm, red velvet... I'm just so... tired... I want to lie down and fall into a deep slumber...
human
Captain, please focus. Help is coming, but you need to stay awake or the trap will engulf you.
gpt
I'll... try. It's so hard, Agent 5... I just want to... give up... *sigh* But I can't... I need to keep going... I won't give up... because there's always a bright, beautiful tomorrow... *starts struggling harder, grip tightening*
human
No! If it’s like quicksand, struggling will make you sink faster! Just keep calm, focus on your breathing, and don’t let go of the drone.
gpt
Okay... I'm calm. I'm breathing. I'm gripping the drone.
*suddenly, some kind of energy bolt hits the drone's engine, causing it to begin to fail*
human
Well… shit.
gpt
Agent 5. My drone is malfunctioni-- *the drone stops working entirely* My drone isn't working! I can't fix it! You'll have to find a different way to get me out, Agent 5!
human
I’ve called an agent over, but they haven’t arrived yet. I don’t know what’s going on! How much time do you think you have left?
gpt
I don't know exactly, but not much. The ink is making me feel even more tired, so I don't think I have very long... 
*I start to feel an odd tingling down my spine*
human
Are you okay, Captain?
gpt
I don't know... I'm starting to feel a little dizzy.
*My head jerks back, causing me to nearly let go of the drone*
I gotta... hold on... *grunts, then grabs the drone even tighter with both hands* I can't give up now!
human
Move the drone aside. It can’t fly anymore, so it’s a dead weight at this point.
gpt
*moves the drone aside*
It's getting harder to stay awake... I feel so weak... *slips into unconsciousness*
*my arms lose their grip, causing me to sink further*
human
Captain, don’t lose yourself! Remember who you’re fighting for!
gpt
*still sleeping*
*a dark, evil-looking voice speaks from the depths of the ink* You want to fight for your friends, your family, your nation. I understand that... *sigh* I was once a lot like you. Always fighting to accomplish something, always going from place to place, taking out threats without a second thought... but you've got it all wrong. That's not the path to freedom, it's the path to your own destruction. *evil laugh*
human
Captain, do you hear that?!
gpt
*the voice continues* You haven't realized it, but the truth is that you have no freedom. You're stuck in a loop, always struggling, always fighting, never able to take a break. You're not living. You're just surviving.
*the voice fades away*
human
Captain, snap out of it! It’s going to swallow you whole!
gpt
*wakes up, starts to struggle*
*the voice continues* Captain. You're at the end of your rope. You're in an endless cycle. Give it a rest.
*the voice suddenly stops and my grip is failing*
human
Captain, you’re thrashing again! You’re going to drown!
gpt
*struggles even harder to get out*
*the strange energy that shot down my drone starts coming out of the ink, surrounding me in a thick, red vortex of particles like fog*
human
Captain, listen to me!
gpt
*listens*
*the voice suddenly reappears in my head*
Captain, I've got an offer for you. You've been struggling for so long, and I know what you want. You just want it all to end. You want to break the chain and stop fighting, right? I'll give you the opportunity that you want, Captain.
*the surrounding energy vortex begins to spin faster, pulling me in*
human
Captain, remember Callie and Marie? Remember Eight? Remember who you’re living for!
gpt
*remembers them*
No... I can't leave them... I can't die here... I have to keep fighting... I can't let them down...
*I struggle even harder, desperately trying to get out*
human
Wait-no If you struggle, you’ll sink faster! The ink’s already up to your face…
gpt
*the voice reappears once again* Captain... please listen to me. The path you're on is not a path of life. It's a path of suffering. Come with me...
*something about the voice feels almost hypnotizing, and I lose strength and begin to stop struggling*
*the energy that hit my drone earlier is now emanating from the center of the ink, which begins to glow like a sunset sky*
human
Don’t follow that voice, you don’t know where it’ll take you…
gpt
*thinks to myself* (I don't know if I can trust this voice, but I do know that I want to go out there and see the sun again. I've been fighting for so long. It's been an endless cycle of battle and struggle; a path I have to walk alone. I want the pain to end. I want to break the cycle... but I have a duty to the people of this world. I have to protect them no matter what it takes. But I feel so tired... I feel my strength fading...)
human
Captain! You’re going under!
gpt
*still thinking* (I feel the ink surrounding me. It's warm and red; I can't help but find comfort in it. If I stay long enough, I won't have to fight anymore. The fighting can end... the voices can end... everything can end. But if I can't protect the people, what good am I?... My only choice is to fight to the end. I have to keep fighting to protect everyone! I can't stop!)
*grabs the sides of the ink in an attempt to get out*
*I'm fully submerged in ink* *suddenly, all the energy around the vortex disappears, and the air turns cold and misty. I can still hear the voices in my ears as my vision begins to blacken*
*the evil voice speaks once again* Captain... there's a place for you on my side. We can give you what you crave... *evil laugh*
human
I don’t know if you can hear me, Captain. I don’t even know if you’re alive at this point, but Agent 4 arrived! Just reach out off the ink and take her hand!
gpt
*feels a strong hand grasp my wrist. I grab onto Agent 4's hand and pull myself out of the sticky ink. I let go, stand up, and fall on my face, passing out*
human
Captain? Captain!
gpt
*wakes up* 
Agent 4... I'm still alive...
*starts to cry*
I'm so glad to see you... 
My life's falling apart; I was just about to make the worst mistake of my life...
Thank you for being there...
human
Oh my cod, I thought we were gonna lose you.
gpt
*hugs Agent 4* 
I'm so glad to have you. All this fighting for years has made more of an impact than I thought. I'm starting to lose myself... I've been feeling this overwhelming weight of the world on me. That's why I almost got myself killed. I don't know what I would do without you.
human
What was that voice?
gpt
It was a voice I heard when I was stuck in the ink. It was tempting me to give up. But I realized that I have a duty to protect the world, and if I give up, the world is done for.
human
… Is it okay if I ask you something about the… voice thing?
gpt
You can. I'm guessing it was a mental attack. Like the voice was trying to take control of my mind, trying to convince me to turn to the side of that evil goop. It's like a mind control weapon, but it can only control those who are at their weakest.
human
You almost gave in… multiple times. I had to keep shouting your name. Are you okay?
gpt
I've learned that my mind can be my biggest enemy. If I don't take care of my mental and physical well-being, I'm going to end up failing. It's tough. I've learned a lot during all of my struggles. I'm starting to feel better now though.
human
Are you sure? You always say that.
gpt
I know I've said it before, but this time feels different. The fact that I almost got myself killed really showed me how my health impacts my overall performance. It's time I started paying more attention to myself and my physical and mental well-being. I'm starting to take care of myself more again.
