Personally, I've always been fondest of the first Halo, as far as the series goes.
I recommend getting Morrowind, if you want something that'll keep you entertained for pretty much forever.

All of that is kinda irrelevant, though.

>What's your name? And why are you in this facility?
My name's Amelia, and 6 months ago, I got in a car accident with my dad. He didn't make it... and I was paralyzed from the waist down. But then Mom used the life insurance money to send me here, and now I can walk again! Have been able to for about 3 weeks now, but they want to keep me for another month in case there are any side effects.

...Side effects like talking with myself a lot suddenly, and showing my neck to an empty room. I should probably mention that.

>Lovely as your hair is, move it aside and we'll see if there's anything visible that could have caused that pinch you felt.
I didn't feel anything when I was checking before... and the pain went away already. That was fast.

>What is the purpose of existence?
Um... what? I'm 17, how should I know?!

>So who's your animal friend?
This is Wilbur. My mom hates mice and rodents in general, so she'd never let me get one normally. But once she sent me to this research hospital, they let me get one! Because she wouldn't have to deal with it while I was gone anyway. I love rodents. They are so cute.

In Room 1 is Timmy, Room 3 has Ruth, Room 4 is empty, and Room 5 has Nurse James, on hand to help us with anything we need at any time! Its rather convenient.

>So, have you given your legs a stress test yet?
Part of the rehab involves trying that stuff. I can walk well, and run and jump okay, but my legs are still a little frail.

>Also, is there anything you really want out of life?
Well, I know I want to help people for a living. But I'm not sure how I want to do that yet. Nurse and Teacher are my main options right now.

Well um... Good question. There is a button to talk to people on the other side of the door, and all the doctors' keycards can open any door in the building, so... I guess it just hasn't happened? Oh, and I do have a spare... somewhere. I think I lost it. Maybe this one is the spare then?

Not to spoil your fun, but there was some kind of mysterious shady figure watching you from a distance. You might want to tell Thomas about that, but then again, all you have is our word. The word of the crazy voices in your head.

No, the pain hasn't returned. But you haven't gone away, either. I have daily check ups with Doctor Haber after lunch, which it is getting pretty close to now anyway. We should head back inside.

>What's Dr. Haber like? Was he in charge of your treatment, or just the recovery?
He's in charge of the rehab. Dr. Amadeus does the surgeries. Dr. Haber is quiet but calm. He doesn't talk too much.

>What did they do to fix your paralysis?
Apparently they make these synthetic nerve patches here, and they surgically place them on the broken spot of the nervous system. From there, the patch basically acts as a jumper, allowing the signals from your brain to bridge the previously broken gap. According to them, they need to test it for 6 months with positive results before the FDA will let them take it to market.

At least, that's what they said, and I have the stitches in my back to show for it and I can walk, so I believe them.

>Bears are the most dangerous creatures on this planet.

Good idea. I haven't showered yet, and I'm still wearing my pajamas.

>They have good food here?
The food here is decent. Its made to be healthy, so it tastes kinda bleh. But one notable side effect of the patch is how freaking hungry it makes you. I normally diet hard to keep my Thin Figure, but here I can't help but eat a lot. And somehow I've barely gained any weight. Its kinda nice.

You would think so. But if I ask about it, wouldn't that give away that I was overhearing them? I dunno. I could ask at lunch. Heck, we have a green house too! Isn't that to grow our own food?

>Where do all these doors go?
The doors with letters on them go to dormitories. The Doctors sleep in Dorm A. The guards sleep in Dorm B. I live in Dorm C. And more patients live in Dorm D. The door on the left is the Cafeteria. The last door, waaaay on the right, goes to the rest of the facility. The non-living quarters part.

>Don't starve yourself
Yes, I had therapy for that. To the cafeteria!

It looks like James is already here, as well as Ms. Prince, the lunch lady. Directly to my left is the DVD shelf. Anyone in the facility can borrow the DVDs from there. There is a vending machine, and what I think is the only window in this entire building.

They're all blockbusters from the 80s and 90s. Jurassic Park, Terminator 2, Home Alone, Ghostbusters, the original Star Wars trilogy. Its... actually weird that all of them are even available in DVD. A lot of these are older than I am!

Correct.

Victuals have been commandeered. James' ridiculous height is less intimidating when he's sitting down. Right now we're eating in silence. I don't know what would make good table talk with him.

How can you be a gamer nerd and not recognize Penny Arcade from that poster... then again I'm sure how badly the internet has affected you yet, so all is well.

Ask him if he likes video games, favorites and stuff. I think its easy to carry on a conversation once you hook onto something you both care about.

"Well, I can't talk about specifics. But in general, this latest batch has been very stable. Everyone is doing well."

>Ask him if he likes video games, favorites and stuff. I think its easy to carry on a conversation once you hook onto something you both care about.

The label says "cereal."

I don't remember any of those movies being there, but I could check.

I think they stock it themselves. Still, that is weird.

I get a Sunkist and go back to my seat. Ms. Prince has left; Ruth is here now. James asks if I won't be late for my meeting.

How late are we talking? If it'd be only a few minutes, then just enjoy your meal. If something like 10 or more, take what you can eat on the way and leave the rest be.
