Thief's mana drained out of his body as soon as he heard that their 'sponsor' wanted to talk to them. Their sponsor was the whole reason this experiment existed and why they were able to come this far.
However, Thief was also afraid of what their sponsor would say after things had already become like this. Would he understand? Or be disappointed?
…or would he pull back from this experiment?
"Sir, our sponsor is trying to connect to our main system. Should I…"
"Allow them full access. We cannot afford to have them doubt us. Especially after what happened."
Thief told the doctor, and she nodded. The system was connected and ready to take the sponsor's messages in no time.
[I heard what happened. It seems that the system is not ready to accept artificial humans as part of its games just yet. But don't lose hope. There is no need to feel sorry or angry about what happened.]
