Nah, they're gonna perform a mission for Alan, so their cells will never be introduced.

When Maria asks what is on her neck, Edgellie askes if she can answer Maria's question, in which Alan grants her request (I'd like to see Edgellie being a longtime member of the Purple-Ops). She explains to Maria that she is wearing a Suicide Collar, a device capable of releasing electric shocks, should they misbehave in the Agency. She also points out that the collar is also connected to 2 powerful explosives; one in the heart and one in the brain. Alan, after telling Edgellie that he'll explain the rest, tells the team that should they run away, get themselves captured, disobey an order, attempt to remove the collars, or even "give [Alan] a right answer too slowly," he'll blow their entire bodies up, leaving only their remains. Squidkiller sees this as a bluff, stating that there is no way he could've gone through all of the trouble just so he can kill us. Alan then opens a gate to freedom and replies, "Try me." Squidkiller approaches the gate leading to freedom. However, she eventually changes her mind when Edgellie convinces her to not test him (through a short story about a partner of hers who got blown up when he eventually though he was bluffing).
