As the strange device finishes its cycle, Zeb carefully examines Cage for any changes. He notices that Cage's strange goggles are now glowing even brighter than before, emitting a pulsating light. Cage's movements seem more fluid, his reflexes sharper, and there is an air of heightened energy around him. It appears that the device has had a transformative effect on Cage.

Cage looks at the narrow crack in the wall and hesitates for a moment. "Alright, I can give it a shot," he says. He crouches down and starts crawling into the narrow crack, disappearing from sight.

Cage looks around, his glowing goggles illuminating the dim cave. "This here is The Chasm, my friend. A deep ravine with geometric boulders scattered across the floor. We're standing at the mouth of a cave that leads north, and there's a narrow crack to the south."

Cage looks up towards the hole in the ceiling and shrugs. "Could be anything, man. Could be some kind of explosion or collapse. Hard to tell down here. Sewers ain't the most stable place."

"Okay, if you believe so," Anesthesia says and nods her head. "Let's keep moving and find a way out of here. Cage, do you know where we can go from here?" she asks him.

Cage turns to Zeb and grins. "I didn't bail on you, man. I had some things to take care of. You didn't get into too much trouble without me, did you?" he asks, tapping his large knife on his belt.

Cage looks up from his game and grunts, "Atari? No, son, I'm just tinkering with the time-space continuum, what does it look like to you?" he says, with a chuckle.

Anesthesia stares at Wrewdison, her expression unreadable. "I don't remember any of that. And even if we did, is that supposed to excuse your behavior? I don't remember giving you permission to use your powers on me, friend or not." She shakes her head, clearly unsettled. "I don't like this, Wrewdison, and I don't like you right now. Stay away from me." With that, she heads towards the west exit once more.

Cage turns and greets Wrewdison, "Hey there, stranger. Ain't seen you before. You one of them reporters? Or an agent?" he asks as he shifts his large pack, the contents clanking together in a tinny symphony.
