"i- don't understand, draws who? Where are we?"
SC: We are in a deck that spans for roughly 3.92 kilometers, mostly watertight doors, hallways, empty cabins and various utility rooms.
I don't remember how i got here, but when i remember it being well lit, i found a radio and tried radioing for help; at first someone told me they were coming, gave the coordinates, tried everything on the manual-
Eventually they stopped responding.
That's when it started, the dripping.
I turned off the lights to save power, the dwindling meter was eating at me, i have come to regret it greatly, in the end it allowed roughly an extra day of heating
I started hearing noises, scurrying, gurgling, rattling... i though they were rats, i made sure to close every container tight
Until i saw one of them, i was just returning to my cabin after trying to fix the radio and i saw a figure standing in complete stillness, it looked like a rabbit, i used my flashlight but it didn't seem to notice.
I stepped closer and so did it.
SC:
And then again; i saw... i saw it's face, i knew there was something wrong with that person, it lurged at me, spilling it's guts out, I threw my flashlight at it and managed to stick a mop at the door valve to impede it’s path; then i rushed to my cabin and passed out
When i woke up i realized i would eventually need to find food, water; i moved slow, made it to the kitchen
The door i had blocked, was torn open.
Now i move from deck to deck; trying to open as little doors as possible, there are crawlspaces for that, whenever i hear that gurgling i know one is close
So far I have noticed there are at the very least 2 different ones: one of them has [b] grotesquely long ears, green eyes; the other has horns covered in red veins, yellow eyes.
I'm sure there's more than one; food is growing scarce, i don't plan to look for food for you; you can have my scraps after i eat

"... do you mean the nurses? i saw one of them just back then, also are we not in St Ives Hospital?"
SC laughs, refusing to look at you
SC: Nurses, hadn't thought of that, sure call them that, i don't care.
SC: I think you are confused; you don’t even know where you are right? Why don’t you take a look outside? Actually, scratch that you’d probably fall, or even worse, let in more cold.
SC: You got one thing right, this is a hospital, i think, there's plenty of hospital equipment.
…
SC: I think there is someone else in here; there's been a lot of noise coming from above, the sounds of hooves against the floor , you don't have those so i can discard you
You turn to look at the door where you came from
SC: Actually... now that you are here, i have an idea; you could hold my lighter while i fix the radio, you could even help me find some tools hmm.
SC seems to be thinking of something
SC: You don't mind crawlspaces, right? you're pretty light frame i bet you could fit into any crawlspace in here; even the one leading to the workshop
Crawlspaces... no you don't- you don't want to enter a crawlspace, let alone in this place
...
SC: Come on talk to me lady, i'll keep an ear out, but we need to keep moving or we'll sink, we can think of options.
SC is moving further down the halls, as he moves away you feel colder, that lighter must have been keeping you warm, on each door SC passes by, he stops to place an ear to it; before moving forward, he only seems to do it on the doors to the left , after checking each door he mutters “safe” before moving to the next, you still stand at the door you entered from; you can hear the sound of metal under pressure and rushing liquids to your sides.
You're not sure what's worse, the cold, the confusion or the fear.
