Another trial, another chance to prove your worth and avenge your fallen. Yet... I sense that you show no sympathy towards these particular victims. Perhaps, even, you count these killers as heroes. A pity, I must send them to their graves as well. All in accordance with with the ritual.
I suppose the advent of yet another double murder has exposed your weakness. Incapable of properly catching both murderers? Fear not. This will be the last of such instances for a long while. Your skills are better suited to but a single target - and we can't have your numbers falling too quickly, can we?
Nevertheless, such matters can be shelved for the time being. I believe it's time for an Execution.
The cat turns to face both Bradimir and Pegasus, as the rest of the crowd stands back. They look at each other in fear as their bodies seize up, twitching uncannily as they begin to levitate into the air.
Pegasus' shovel and jackhammer fall from his spasming hands, landing on the floor with a clatter as books come falling out of Bradimir's clothes. Strange symbols begin to manifest in the air around them, and both of their necks wrench themselves back, their eyes rolling backwards into their skulls.
Pegasus opens his eyes, finding himself... back in the mines. He breathes a sigh of relief. He must've just dozed off while digging and had yet another nightmare. They've been surprisingly common, ever since he started working here as the lead Archaeologist. The last guy... well, he ended up in a psych ward for some reason - but in comparison, Pegasus figured he was doing alright.
He shakes his head, trying to rid himself of the hazy vestiges of sleep as he reaches for his shovel and begins to dig once again. He strikes the earth, shoveling mound after mound of soil, looking for... something. His shovel strikes an unknown object with a clang, and he bends down to inspect it, brushing away the remaining dirt. It's... a crystal. He clasps his hand around it and pulls.
The crystal dislodges, and with it, a bubbling, endless spray of water begins to spill from the hole. Ah, fuck.
Pegasus tries to jam the crystal back in, but the pressure resists. The ground begins to crack further around the cavern, more water spilling through. The cave begins to fill at a rapid pace, as Pegasus drops his shovel and begins to wade for the exit. The cracking continues, until the walls burst with a flood of water, knocking Pegasus to the ground and carrying him away in the swell.
Outside, by the entrance of the Mine Shaft, Bradimir smiles in smug satisfaction as he adjusts the books underneath his clothing. Yes, he thinks to himself. It was smart to just lie and pretend he found this list of codenames. An easy alibi, considering no one would ever suspect that was an aspect of his role all along.
He turns to enter the mines, when a torrent of water - and Pegasus - smash into him with tremendous force, knocking both men into a deep trench now cutting across the Facility Grounds. The two men are swept right into Mirror Lake, and the tendrils of the lake's guardian carry them down, ever deeper, into the abyss.
In reality, their twitching, levitating bodies remain n the Lobby, in front of a stunned audience. Suddenly, in a jerky motion, their necks snap, and their lifeless corpses fall to the floor.

A shame, two of your own Agents, put to death. Perhaps the Anomalies still lingering among your number can rest easy, knowing their numbers draw ever closer to equilibrium.
Ah, but I can sense it... a Seal, upon the horizon once more - and the clamor of the Wraiths, scratching at your door. I will be seeing you again soon, after your existing obligations have been taken care of.
