How was Nick supposed to prove that he wasn't lying?!
He didn't have a Barrier.
He didn't have human Zephyx.
There were no other people around who knew Nick.
"You just have to ask Aegis," Nick said with a careful voice. "Tell them that you found Nick Dusk. They saw me getting taken by the Maw."
The woman didn't look like she believed Nick and just kept looking at him with a serious expression.
"Fine, I will do just that," she says. "I don't believe that you are telling the truth, but I'm willing to try, at least."
Nick did not calm down.
He could hear that she was about to add a "but".
"But I can't let a Specter run around just like that. If you come peacefully, I will ask Aegis about you," she said.
Nick became more nervous.
Come peacefully?
'She will put me in a Containment Unit,' Nick thought.
