“No,” you say instinctively.

 

“Wha-”

 

“Sorry, yes, my bad. Do you know what's going on?” You ask. The bit's energy starts washing over you in waves, even stronger now. It's getting hard to focus, or even stand for that matter.

 

“We heard that this settlement was attacked by a horror, we're here to check this whole thing out. Did you not see it?” The voice is getting harder to hear, the sound of rushing water in your head drowning it out.

 

“Nnno I-” You slur your words together and you know this is it, you can feel yourself start to slip. Shit, goddamnit, you just woke up. You are unconscious before your head hits the ground.

You hear voices. Many voices. Some of them you recognize, all of them you Know. You can't see. Should you be able to? You can't remember. You don't Know that, because this memory is not yours.

 

 
 

You smell water and your fur is wet. You hear the smashing of glass and the bending of metal. And you feel the eyes. The many, many eyes. You don't Know what you see, but as this vision fades you Know they see you.
 

 
 

You wake up, not happy that this is the second time in a row that you have woken up somewhere you don't remember being.

 

A Gremlin in the room with you speaks, “Ah, you're awake, good. The doc and their friend will be glad to see that. You're in a makeshift infirmary in Settlement 4. How are you feeling?”
