Cuora Dobermann

[Cuora is attacked by a Nethersea Spewer close to her as Shell Sea Runners spawn on the lower part with Gummy and Popukar deployed to intercept them. Note a slimy surface close to the Spewer that appears to be alive.]
<Game paused>
Dobermann	We're holding a special training drill today, focused on upcoming enemies and combat environments we'll be likely facing. Though this is only a simulated battlefield based on frontline information provided by the Inquisition, it must be taken seriously.
Cuora	<The slimy surface is highlighted> Wha-What are those wiggling tiles?!
Dobermann	That is nethersea brand. Some scholars are calling it a unique oceanic lifeform, but we still don't have too much information at present. Watch–
<Game unpaused>
[The slimy surface, now known as Nethersea Brand, expands to the nearby surfaces out of nowhere.]
<Game paused>
Dobermann	<The Nethersea Brands are highlighted> This unusually shaped organism will spread to all adjacent tiles at fixed intervals!
<Game unpaused>
[The Nethersea Brand continues expanding that it almost creeps toward Cuora and covers where the Spewer is standing.]
<Game paused>
Cuora	Shoot! It spread under the enemy's feet!
Dobermann	<The Nethersea Brand over the Spewer is highlighted> Be careful! Some enemies can deal increased Nervous Impairment when on nethersea brand!
<Game unpaused>
[The Spewer noticeably deals increased Nervous Impairment towards Cuora as it moves towards her, which she blocks right as the Nethersea Brand covers where Cuora is standing.]
<Game paused>
Cuora	<Cuora is highlighted> Instructor Dobermann! The brand spread to me! I can sort of hear this slip-slippy noise...
Dobermann	<Cuora is highlighted> Take care. Nethersea brand will deal Arts damage and Nervous Impairment to any Operators deployed on its tiles.
Cuora	–C-Can I retreat, please... It feels like my shoes are gonna melt, and I can't stand up–
Dobermann	–Deploying Operators on nethersea brand is the only way to prevent its further spread. Any tiles without Operators deployed will allow the brand to freely spread! I'll send a Medic Operator to back you up. Hang in there, Cuora!
<Game unpaused>
[Myrrh is deployed to provide medical support for Cuora (note that she is periodically receiving Arts damage and Nervous Impairment due to the Nethersea Brand) as she keeps the Spewer at bay and eventually defeating it before she succumbs to Nervous Impairment. Note that the Nethersea Brand does not creep further from where Cuora is standing, but it creeps toward the left unhindered, close to reaching where Gummy and Popukar are.]
<Game unpaused>
Dobermann	<The Nethersea Brand on the right is highlighted> There's another gap on the right side! Quick, block the nethersea brand from spreading to the main battlefield! The rest is up to you now!
<Game paused>
[(The player deploys Cardigan to the top-left of Popukar followed by Hibiscus to support her and Popukar) Cardigan's presence stops the Nethersea Brand from creeping towards Gummy and Popukar, keeping them safe from its adverse effects as the two dispatches the remaining Runners.]
