I managed to find some medical supplies while exploring a bit further on my own. Amazingly, one of them contained a shot that caused most of Titzi's wounds to heal. I helped her wash the blood off, and then my fatigue overcame me.

I awaken to some familiar voices.

"...So that's why I changed my mind and you can totally join us when we get it on~"

"You're such a charming creature. It's a wonder she hasn't jumped your fins yet."

"I know, right~?"

"Not very good at detecting sarcasm, are you?"

"Morning." Titzi says as I look up.

"How long was I out?"

"About three days~"

"What!?"

"Nah I'm just messin'. You've been asleep for a few hours, dreaming of me no doubt~"

"I see. Sorry I made you both wait," I reply, growing ever more adept at ignoring Roz's attempts to flirt with me.

"If you're up to it," Titzi says, "we should probably get moving. I really don't want to be here longer than I have to. Plus, I'm starving and becoming very tempted to eat your friend here."

"I wouldn't object to that~ Wait are you being literal I think I'd object to that a little."

"Why don't we find out?" Titzi asks, grinning widely.

I managed to find a retcon more up-to-date map of the area. There's still no sign of this 'secret passage'. The only obvious exit from this place leads to the cave I came from.

Looks like the only option is to explore. Where to?

>check to see if the door back to Deep the cave exists again.
The door's right there.

"What are you looking at?" Titzi asks.

"Oh, that door's the way I got here. I came from the cave inside there. Or...outside, I guess."

"I assume you didn't find a way out that way."

"I think we missed a passage, but I'm pretty sure it's a dead end."

"And the reflections there are trippy as hell~"

"Tell me about it," I remark.

I resist the urge to hug everything and help Titzi eat some meat candy(??). She should be less hungry now.

There doesn't seem to be anything in the love machine, and yet...

I feel a stronger bond with Roz than I did before. I can't shake the feeling that we may become, like, really close. I could see myself spending the rest of my life with the little guy.

"Maybe you'll find some 'toys' in there~ I won't stop you if you want to try them out~"

There's a door on the bathroom in general and you can always have Titzi stand guard outside it just in case anyone comes along in this nearly-abandoned facility.

I mean, it's not like she can keep Roz out, but given you've been walking around naked until recently I doubt he's missed much.

There's a door to the bathroom, and Titzi is probably going to stay outside and eat, so it's not really a problem.
Really, what concerns me is that I can't think of any reason why there would be missing doors in the bathroom. I guess someone might have salvaged the doors for plate metal... but who and for what? Guess we might as well worry about whoever kicked in the counter too. Neither of those seems like something an employee would normally do.

The "Dennis" door leads to the hallway leading to the SCIENCE rooms. I went through it to get Titzi's belt.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" I ask. "There's nobody else around. I'm pretty sure we're safe."

"You don't know that. They could come back at any time. I'd rather die than go back to that room."

"You won't. Even if 'they' do show up, I've got a level in all my attributes. I can out strength, speed, and...boob? anyone that shows up!"

Titzi glances around the room, then at me, finally looking at the cup of coffee.

"...All right, But I don't know what you'd want to know about me."

Titzi takes a sip of coffee-- a very impressive task all things considered.

"I used to swim in a huge ocean, far from this place. I didn't know much back then, but I was happy. My best friend and I would play around and race each other. We were inseparable...well, until I was caught in a net.

I was instantly taken from everything I knew, and I found myself alone and frightened. I cried for help, but the only response was me being thrown in a tube by creatures I now know to be called 'humans'.

They...changed me. Filled me with all kinds of chemicals. Made me self-aware. When I was finally let out, I wasn't the same creature anymore. I could breathe air, and my senses were greatly enhanced.

They gave me this belt, and conducted various logic experiments on me. I learned to speak, count, and solve basic puzzles. Eventually they threw me into that room, either as another experiment or because they were tired of me. That's when I first saw your race. They looked less...lively than yourself, and would beat me to near-death several times a month.

Eventually, they stopped coming and I stopped getting fed. I was happy, thinking I would finally die of starvation. And then you showed up. I thought about all I had been through and decided my only chance was to threaten you and hope you'd kill me."

"And that's more or less it, I guess. Even if I went back to the ocean, I'm... I'm not like the others anymore. I don't know if my friend would even recognize me now. Anyway, thanks for listen-- are you eating coffee beans."

See, wasn't that a great chat? Do you know why that was great? It probably has something to do with the distinct lack of the perverse input of a certain teal individual.

Ask Tizi if she would like to be back to her old normal sharky self. Ask her if she regrets the sentience forced on her and would rather be just a shark again. Then promise her that you'll get out of here, that you'll find away to make her normal again if she wants, and you'll bring her back to the ocean she came from, and her friends will be there and she will be FREE TIZI and she can swim and eat helpless baby seals and everything will be great :)

But you're so damn hyper that with your Lvl 2 SPD can support your level 1 STR. Just keep punching the plates until they break off. Remember F=MV^2 so the velocity is the most important
So like you probably have a force of like (STR 1)*(SPD 2)^2 = 4 so you might have like 4 POWER. Upgrade your STR and you'd get like an 8 PWR if the system works like that
>>

Dude, I don't know where you are getting your physics D:
Kinetic energy is 1/2(mv^2) not force. Force is mass times acceleration, unless you mean momentum, but even then that's just mass times velocity.
>>
No. 250028 ID: e3f578

Okay so we might just have a power of two if the system runs on the kinetic energy equation, if its runs on the real force equation than its... still 2

Then again it depends on how the stats affect the variables if 0 is truly a 1 and lvl 1 is like 2 and lvl 2 is 3 pts or something
>>
No. 250029 ID: e3f578

also if it runs on the force equation that SPD stat will take the place of acceleration. I figure that the speed stat would both improve both variables of acceleration and velocity, despite speed being velocity with no direction... or is speed velocity with direction?

The password works, and I'm able to log in. A quick glance shows me that I can get any information I want about this place and its test subjects, and I might be able to control some of the systems as well.

Weird, this room has a "cleansing" function.

Just a random note: He probably has no idea who/what Roz is. Hopefully. Maybe. Let's try to keep that secret as an emergency trump on the off-chance it's needed.
Though as he already talked and was heard, there's no real harm in him continuing to talk for this conversation.

Another random note: We have no idea what this person's name is. That makes it a bit harder to find info/directions to him if we want to get revenge(?) later.
Honestly though, I don't think they've really done anything to you so far - they had some plans but haven't done anything to force you into those plans. Do keep an eye out for any such traps/threats though.

Titzi, on the other hand, probably wants to kill a few people. Look up who was in charge of her experiments, if you can.

Titzi and I aren't the only hybrids. They have been combining various species for various reasons, but most of their experiments met with failure. A lot of the subj-- creatures died minutes after being created.

Titzi is listed as a work in progress. They were trying to make her aggressive towards Tozols.

If any of the other experiments survived, they might be in the SPECIES LAB area. I could look into the actual species in more detail if I wanted.

Tell spikeyhair he's evil in his own way as are you, Roz, and Titzi, evil is subjective. Just because he probably graduated from an evil school doesn't mean he's evil beyond generic evil that he puts in a punchclock to get paid accordingly. Just tell him this so he'll shut up about it.

Tank 1: Indahl/Dreamworm hybrid, female
Notes: Could be very useful for underwater tasks. Arms and legs are vestigial and don't seem to function well at all. Still somewhat hostile.

Tank 2: Tozol/Vertai hybrid, male
Notes: The Vertai might not appreciate it if they find out about this experiment. Ensure this is classified at the highest level. Still very stubborn and hard to control.

Tank 3: Data has been erased.

Tank 4: Cenesu/Seltwil hybrid, male
Notes: A little hard to understand at times and is kind of hyper. Often goes on long tangents, sometimes forgetting what its point is midway through sentences. Is fairly obedient and has not caused much trouble.

Tank 5: Cyral/Enial hybrid, female
Notes: Subject is slow to act, and is kind of lazy. Does not react strongly to emotional stimuli. Insists on licking everyone. Pretty docile.

Tank 6: Lazuhrek/Tesau hybrid, female
Notes: Has four eyes like a Tesau, but main two eyes don't function, vastly limiting its ability to see. It has learned to sense its surroundings through other means, using its front two tentacles as 'feelers'. Hostile to humans, but fairly friendly towards subject "Venji".

I very nearly choose the second tank because of how cute the creature looks, but remembering my past is more important to me. I have to know whether or not the scientist was telling the truth.

I enter the commands and go stand next to tank six, adjusting the lapels on my SCIENCE COAT. I want to make a good impression for my old 'friend'!

"So you're choosing this one?" Roz asks.

"Yeah."

"Is it female?"

"...Yeah."

"Then you've made the right choice." Roz nods sagely.

My heart races. I'm finally going to learn about my past. She'll tell me the scientist was lying-- that I wasn't made to be someone's toy. Just one or two more images and I'll have all my questions answered.

"You can speak with this thing, right?" I ask Titzi.

"Why would I be able to speak with it."

"Well, you're a shark, and it kind of looks like a space shark."

"What? No. It doesn't work that way."

"It might!"

"Not really. Even if that thing was a space shark, which doesn't make any sense because nothing can live in space, I can't speak 'shark' anymore. I can only talk in our nonspecific conveniently-translated alien language."

Well so much for that oddly familiar plan. I tap on the cage annoyingly. "Hello? Can you hear me? Here fishy fishy space fishy."

I head a booming voice coming from all around me. "Why do you disturb me?"

"Um... I want to help free you from these squiggly lines?"

"Nobody wants to help me. Tell me what you really want."

...unless there was some other way it got in here!

I find myself sitting outside Betsy's cave, back in the real world.

"Are you okay?" Titzi asks. "I bit as hard as I could, but that thing would not let go of you. I was...a little worried."

"I'm okay. How long has it been?"

"About five minutes."

They got Besty in here somehow. There's either another way out, or they used a device to make the cage even smaller. I don't know much about science, but maybe the thing that shrunk the cage can be used to make Betsy smaller, too! Then I'd have two adorable floating sharks!

I could go check out a nearby room and try not to take too long, or I can hang out for 25 minutes figuring out how the heck I feel about Roz. I've been kind of putting it off.

Well Roz is rather simple. You got a scratch in the nethers and he can scratch it, just need to get him to be a bit less egotistical and he would probably be quite decent at it. No need to make it any more complex than that.

Eh. Roz's a nice enough guy. I figure the reason he's a bit... Off is because he's probably been alone most of his life and doesn't quite know how to express himself any other way.

Or maybe he has and he's a bit of a dick. But if he hasn't started walking you around like a meat puppet, odds are he likes what's attached up on your shoulders.

I really needed this. If Roz and Titzi hadn't cheered me up with their respective silliness, I might not have been able to handle that scientist's words. I'm really glad to have them around.

"Hey, um, Venji..." I hear Roz say from behind me. "I guess you sure showed me with that boob thing, huh."

"Aw, you're not mad at me again, are you?"

"No, it's just...um, I guess I see how you feel now. I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable and stuff. I'll stop if you want me to. I was only being playful with you 'cause I like you and stuff."

"Roz, I--"

First of all, is he still growing? If so, something needs be done.

Hey, if we put enough normal upgrades into Roz, he'll turn into a huge dragon all the time and be able to smash his way out of this place!

"I was shy? I don't feel shy..."

"Why were we separated, anyway?" I ask, "I woke up alone in a cave."

Ashela gets a sad look in her eyes. "Awr, are you sure you want to know?"

I nod, ignoring the brief glimpse of a train in the corner of my vision. I'll punch it later.

"One day, you started acting...different. You became more and more aggressive and secluded. You wouldn't talk to me at all. They did something to you, I just know it!

After a particularly violent episode, the scientists tranquilized you and carried you off. Jacob came back a couple hours later in tears. He was angry, shouting about how he just needed more time."

"Time for what?"

"I don't know-- he was ranting pretty incoherently. He said he was making real progress, but they wouldn't listen. You were out of control and he couldn't stop them from euthanizing you."

"What?"

Don't write Jacob off as not evil just yet; it's entirely possible, and somewhat probable, that he caused whatever made you flip out in the first place.

"This place is kind of a mess. Do you know anything about why there's blood everywhere?"

"Rrr, I've no idea. One day they rushed us to the pods, saying it was for our protection. This room is designed to be almost completely impenetrable, or so they claimed."

Maybe it's anger, maybe it's stress, but I feel like just escaping isn't good enough anymore.

It might be the 'Tozol' inside me, but I want to make them pay for everyone they experimented on, and I want revenge for what they did to me.

Room 1:
Look for anything close by that might help turn on the computer. A battery, a power cord, whatever. If you can turn it on, then look for any interesting information, especially anything about that thing floating in the tank. If nothing works, munch it.
Check the box for anything interesting.
Check the shelf for anything interesting.

Room 2:
Check the desk for information or anything interesting, especially info on that thing in the tank.
If the bed has a metal or wooden frame then eat it. Don't eat the mattress or padding or whatever. Might want to sleep on that later.
Nibble the locks off the cabinets. If that's not possible for some reason, then just eat the top off the cabinets and work your way down after setting aside the contents of each drawer.
Leave the tank alone for now. Get back to it when you know more.

Room 3:
Take the gun. If it looks broken eat it. If it looks functional, even if it doesn't have any ammo, then keep it.
Check the small box for anything interesting. Nibble the lock if it has one.

Eat everything in the room made of metal, wood, or cardboard once it is no longer useful.

The lights dim as I become more aware of my surroundings. It's similar in a way to when I enhanced my senses before, but it's also completely alien.

Inside the chest is...a document, and a round disk. In the cabinet I feel a lot of papers, and an object I don't recognize.

I become aware of my own body. Something feels off. Something's in me. What's in me

My chest hurts.

"Well, you seem okay," she says. "This is exactly what I meant when I said you'd end up hurting yourself! Anyway, I read the one note you didn't eat.

Examine the box a little more then try dropping something into it if you don't think it's dangerous. Bite off a piece of wall or something for that, though. Don't want to waste and item or food.

I examine the CAPSULE. The creature inside is still alive. I might be able to revive it without needing any chemicals.

It looks kind of vicious, but knowing this quest it probably just needs a hug.

"What? What is this?"

"This is the prototype Portable Vacation Device (PVD), designed to simulate a relaxing environment for your pleasure."

"Really? This place isn't a huge infodump? Are you sure?"

"I'm afraid I do not have access to classified information. However, I am equipped to simulate multiple types of vacation areas and activities. Would you be interested in a massage?"

Roz did not respond to this. That is very, very worrisome. Do not freak out... yet. You took a pretty big jolt from that socket. Maybe Roz was just tazed?

Awesome. Portable item storage and a portable inconspicuous hiding spot! Better hold on to it.
Although I bet if you eat the box you will be bigger on the inside.
Or violently explode. Probably shouldn't test that.

Within moments, I see a creature appear in front of me and assume a strange and uncomfortable pose. I stare intently at her curves, picturing myself running my hands up and down her body.

Roz sighs. "When we merged, I saw your mind like you saw mine. You've always had issues with your body, and I kept flirting with you to help you realize how sexy you are.

Sure you can put it off. It's really easy. You simply tell him that you can't really say right now, you're still pretty much undecided, after all you have only known him for a couple of hours, and your continued survival beyond a few hours is actually a bit uncertain. To put relationship crap into that volatile mix right now is shit you don't need to deal with. You will tell him once you have made up your mind.

Anyway, set time compression to 50% and get a nice relaxing short massage. Once you have gottee it you can pop out and see if your friends are in sight yet. The big morphic thing can probably find a way to flow into this place as well.

-Just immature enough to fun be fun and spontaneous, but capable of being serious when it counts. He's totally ignoring the naked chick and focusing exclusively on you. What does that say?
-Willing to demean himself by acting like a pervert so you can feel better about yourself. (Maybe not the best solution, but it's the thought, right? Plus it was good for some laughs.)
-Wants to be with you, but willing to let you go if you don't want to be with him. In other words: puts your happiness first.

"I promise."

We kiss. It's not the first time we've done so, but this time feels...different. It feels nice.

We continue to talk for several minutes. I joke about how Titzi will react to us, and Roz states his intent to get her in on a three-some. I respond by poking his nose, saying he'll have to behave from now on. Besides, Titzi is one person I really don't want biting me 'playfully'.

I tell him about what I went through, the weird vision I had and the entity I felt in my chest. He say they're called 'boobs' and they're his favorite place to sleep. I give him a noogie. He snuggles up to me and promises to stop it from causing me any harm.

I feel all my troubles melt away. Whatever happens next, I'm ready for it.

I climb out of the box in a far better mood than before.

"Oh, there you are," Titzi says, leading Ashela towards me. "We finally got the power back on, as you can see."

Roz appears, causing Ashela to give out a slight purr. "Awr, who is that little guy? He's so cute~"

"Oh," I say, "This is Roz. He kind of saved my life earlier and now he's more or less a part of me until we figure out how to free him."

"Well, thanks for saving my friend, mister Roz!"

"Helping lovely ladies is my job~ and my hobby~"

Ashela giggles. "I wouldn't mind having a cute little thing like you attached to me. All I get are these little antennae."

"Sorry, but I'm taken~"

"A sexy lady. Venji and I are totally a thing now~" Roz says gleefully.

"You're shitting me," Titzi says. "Venji, I warned you about him! Don't tell me you've ignored my advice! People who ignore my advice get bitten!"

"You know this guy?" Ashela asks.

"I know his type. He's a dirty liar and a huge pervert."

"Oh my," Ashela says. "How would you two even-- I mean, did you think this through, dear?"

Tell her you know that Roz is a perv, but his actions speak louder than his raunchy words. He could have taken advantage of you at any time, and he never has. Tell her that no matter what happens in the end, you trust each other and want to be together *right now*. And that's what counts.

Oh, and promise her she can bite both of you if she's right and you turn into tards later. Just... ask her to let you make you own choice for now and make her promise not to pre-emptively bite you. D:

And let Ashela know that he's a shape-shifter, and you can probably figure *something* out if/when you decide to explore your relationship more... physically...

Oh, and just stuff all your excess crap in the box. Don't EAT it... yet. You might need it to store more crap in it first. Heck, if the shrinky device doesn't work, you might be able to tote Betsy around in it.

I search through the various papers I uncovered. They detail what this device is and how it works. It seems that by putting it on, someone can choose to enlarge or shrink themselves. It takes care of the 'law of conservation of matter' by... huh. For some reason the rest of that page is whited out and replaced with large letters saying "SCIENCE DOES NOT WORK THIS WAY."

Poke your head into into the PVD and ask what would happens to its contents if it is destroyed. Does the compressed space explode or something? Ask it to perform a thought experiment as well: what if the PVD were destroyed inside something else? (Could be useful as a highly localized bomb, if worse comes to worst.)

Go through a mental checklist of everything in your inventory. Keep anything small, light, and important on your person. They're no hassle to carry and you might need immediate access to them anyway. Like the gun any key cards or whatever.

Run a pair of experiments with the belt. Put it on, make your self huge, remove an article of clothing and place it on the floor, then consume something that would make you almost full at your normal size, then reduce your size to a little below normal.

This test will determine if objects retain their changed dimensions after losing contact with the belt and, if they don't, how long it takes for them to revert to normal.
The second test determines whether the belt is "always on," and if the shrinking and enlarging process is controlled by an absolute or relative scale. Whether or not the consumed mass changes in size will give us the answer.

When this is done, see if the belt can fit on one of Betsy's arms before sliding up her tail.

It's a device made for shrinking/enlarging things with brainz. It wouldn't make sense to give it a static size in and of itself. See if you can increase the size of the belt just by fiddling with it on a table, but CAREFULLY so you don't, you know, shrink it to oblivion or crush yourselves or something.

If that doesn't work, try putting it around her tail/fin/whatever - something non-vital in case shit goes wrong, so fin is probably best.

If that doesn't work, use it to make yourself larger. Normal Venji can eat pretty much anything. In theory, big Venji = big jaws, big stomach. Eat Betsy a way out of here.

Oh, and if it looks like Titzi could handle it... give her a hug and apologize for having to sound nasty. You know she's just trying to look out for you, but sometimes that means trusting you even when you make decisions that she doesn't agree with.

I head to the STORAGE ROOM. It's kind of dark in here.

I see a gigantic safe, a "mega" safe, perhaps. The metal looks too hard for my teeth to bite through, as if it's been reinforced.

I see several boxes of supplies and... 'Tozite'?

There's multiple shelves and cupboards. In the corner of the room, I see...something. I can't quite make it out.

Eat some Tozite. It is either the best or worst thing for you eat, but it's probably somehow important in other ways too so we want to leave most of it for now.
Investigate robot thingy in the back for potential murderous insane claptrap behavior, you don't want to be surprised by that later. Then try and open up that safe. By eating it of course.

Oh and since you're more comfortable with Roz teasing you, why not tease him a bit now and then? Trust me, removing your coat just enough can have a much better effect then you just not wearing it. It'll make you both happier, promise~

"DO NOT EAT PVD" would've been soooo much funnier right here. Blast. Just as a reminder, though: don't.
Also, should you feel need to sneeze, resist the urge to do it into the PVD while everyone is inside. Feel free to burp into it, though.

Recommend against gromming the robot for the moment. This one looks relatively intact. Cautiously investigate it to see if it is dangerous. If it isn't then see if it is still functional. If it has any semblance of AI and the ability to communicate it might be able to tell you something. Or you could try something smarmy like hugging and it incorporating it into the party.

Whatever you decide to do with the robot, do that first, then try some Tozite. You don't want it to suddenly turn on and go nuts behind you while you're stuffing you're face.

Investigate the cabinets at the back. Looks like something is leaking out of them. Unless it's an old stain that implies relatively recent activity.

It looks like a cute bug! I inspect it and find an "On" button, but flipping it doesn't do anything. I try hugging the robot because that's solved every other problem I've had, but nothing happens. This little guy probably needs a battery.

Maybe exploding the one I started with wasn't such a good idea.

"That's okay! Um... how's your, erm, battery?"

"I detect I have a new Tozite battery. It should last a couple of days."

Grab the busted robot. It's internals may not take well to the fire. That's also a funny thing to toss inside a safe so it must have some importance. It might even know what was on that note if it was operational when it was tossed in. Even if it can't be fixed, your new friend can probably access its memories somehow.

Those beds look very inviting, albeit angled weirdly. It hits me that I've been awake for about 30 hours now, excluding that small nap I had. I wonder if I should convince everyone to take some time to sleep, or if I should keep pushing forward?

...I'm kind of hungry.

Certainly, she doesn't need clothes... she could use a bitchin' hat, though.

And the science outfit really was rather good for science. Clothes aren't just about being warm and avoiding offending people; they also make an aggressive statement to the world about who you are and what you're awesome at.

Eat the doors (or the locks and then the doors) of the lockers to see if there are any clothes in there. If not, eat what's left of the lockers and go to sleep in one of the beds. Oh, and before you sleep, tell Titzi and Ashela that you're doing so.

You'd better not trap everyone in a box while you nap. That'd be rude, and people would worry then panic as the hours go by.

Also it would be optimal for people to sleep in the box with the time kompression active. That way it'll only take 4 hours to get a full night's rest!

Whatever you do don't dream of Will Smith! You might start doing things subconsciously in your sleep that will make Roz happy! or do some messed up dream thing with a dreamworm. I've forgotten already how a dreamworm could affect dreams or vice-versa. Have we committed SCIENCE on this subject yet?

Eat beds, sleep on lock... wait....

Eat through lockers (not their contents! there could be clothing in one of them!) until full/not hungry.

If no clothing is found, ask Mantis to help you make something from one or more of the sheets that will at least protect your modesty.

Just for yuks though, see if you actually can wear Roz like clothing. Even if that's possible, do not let him convince you this is acceptable.

Pop open the PVD and tell the others you're going to sleep; advise them to do the same.

>awake for 30 hours
Let's see... woke up with amnesia, poisoned, then the train, attacked by a shadow reflection, body image issues, met evil(?) scientist, the boobs debacle, discovered bad yellow mojo in your body, then lost your spiffy science duds in fire. Oh and you rescued 3 people, a robot, and fell in love tool. Yeah, it's been a long day. Flop down on a bed and pass out for a while.

I examine the lockers, only finding one pair of clothes. One of them contains a journal, and another contains a remote control. I can't find what the remote goes to.

I just can't stop worrying about this scar. What if this stuff spreads again? What if it takes over? Oh sweet precursors, what if...

Ashela lights up. "Wait, she's in a toga now? Lemme see, lemme see!"

Listen to Roz on this matter. Besides, you are something far more awesome than a robot anyway. You a hybrid of two totally unrelated alien species, merged with a Dreamworm, and now we find out you're probably a nanotech cyborg too. A perfect synergy of science, nonsense, then more science. On top of that you're pretty darn cute and very easy on the eyes. Most people only dream of being half as interesting as you. So take a moment, feel good about yourself, make a toga, give Roz a good night snuggle, and pass out.

And don't be so quick to write off that scarring as a bad thing. Right now it's almost certainly up to something sinister, but no technology is inherently evil. If you can gain an understanding of it then who knows? Perhaps you can manipulate it serve, rather than hurt you?

"But what if he--"

"He won't. I won't leave you, I swear."
