Natalya blinked, looking up from where she'd been cleaning her pistol during her turn of the world's most boring duty, aka, guarding the door to Rapture. She lifted the radio and thumbed the talk button.

Even for a woman well used to darkness, the dimness of the island caves is a shock after all that sunshine, and Natalia blinks, adjusting to it before moving towards the mouth of Rapture.
