After everyone has cleaned up, the Octolings went back outside bringing the trash can that was inside, containing all sorts of things from last night's prom. General Anemone took both trash cans and said "Great job everyone, this mess is clean. After we dispose of this trash in the trash cans, we will get on with our day.", after he said that, a group of Octobombers picked up the trash cans and carried them off into the distance, they come back after 10 minutes with the same trash cans, but empty.
General Anemone started talking to everyone about the mission, "The 7th facility is highly packed with security, so we can't just brute force our way on this one, what we should do is chip down at their numbers before going in. The team who makes the gadgets you see being used has worked on one that tricks radars into thinking it's one of us. Our targets are the higher-ranked enemies first, then we worry about the lower-ranked ones. Once their numbers were severely reduced thanks to some of our Octostrikers also helping, we move in, rescue the Inklings and then destroy the facility.". As he finished this long explanation, he takes a look at how much his army has grown from a weak number to a strong number since starting this journey.
After the base split into the buses again, everyone headed into their assigned buses to continue on with the day. As the buses drove off, Coral realized that he's close to seeing the surface world that his father often told him about. A different world where the light of day is natural, while he got a glimpse of it at Inkopolis's Grizzco, he has yet to feel its warmth, he has yet to see what night looks like on the surface and if it's as beautiful as his father told him it would be.
Coral: It's hard to believe that this fight for survival is almost ending.
Kelp: That means that we have to make sure we can finish it.
Clam: The surface... a completely different world than the underground areas that we were forced to live in for so long.
