《The Abyss That Stares》Chapter 4: Physical Examination

…
Annoyed.
“Who’s the cutest wdidle murder ball of daeth around? You are! Yes you are!”
When came out of stasis, was no longer in home. Now in tinier version of home, in new place. Not bigger home, not usual home.
Shake.
Recognize.
Interferers cut off parts of body here.
Interferers move around main body, looking at it. Develop more eyes to watch.
Strange.
Interferers walk on hindlegs, but not forelegs. Different from prey, and from main body. Did not notice before brain.
Superior design? Maybe give main body hindleg for structure?
And then strange interferer started communicating with main body.
“Hey doc, I think the bugger heard me! It wants to hug!”
Annoyed. Attempts to constrict interferer stopped by same walls as home.
Know interferer is not prey. But still want to kill. Strange.
“Carl, please stop terorrizing X1 and resume your tests.”
“Fine.”
Strange interferer leaves, moves to use front movement structures in different place.
Satisfaction.
…
The Creator, Doc, approaches.
“Alright X1, we’re going to start easy. Stay still.”
Comply.
Doctor holds cutting instrument.
Home opens.
Free?
But no. Will be cut and poked if try.
Push out tentacle. Doc severs PAIN tentacle, and home closes.
Watch as Creator brings tentacle to strange device, and studies it.
Then Doc brings another device to its communication structure, and communicates with it.
“Facsinating. X1’s muscle density has increased by nearly 40%. And the cells have begun to dteriorate nearly… 13% slower when separated from its central body. These changes seem unproportional with changes to the size of X1’s main body. During X1’s last physical examination, X1 weighed 6.1 kilograms, and it’s central body had a radius of 9.3 centimeters. X1 now weighs 23.2 kilograms, with a radius of 14.56 centimeters. X1’s previous mean tentacle length was approximately 25.2 centimeters. X1’s current mean tentacle length is 43.8 centimeters. Size of central body and tentacles fluctuates depending on what structures X1 has maintained. The previous measurements were collected when X1 has no other structures maintained.”

Pleasant. Doc noticed superior designs.
A new interferer enters! Don’t recognize! Rare!
“Greetings, Doctor.”
“Ah, hello… Roes? I’ve been told that you were to be transfrered to my team from lab three. If you don’t mind me asking, why were you, well, demtoed in such a way?”
“Not a fucking clue. Ah, apologies for the language.”
“... Doc, I think I know why.”
“Such comments are rude, Mr. Standesh. Well, anyways, weclome to the team. Go ahead and get to work. I assume you know how to perform Rift particle collision tests on a specimen?”
“I do, yes sir.”
“Excellent, you’re already at a higher baseline than Mr. Standesh.”
“... Doc, such comments are rude.”
Smug. Finally. Mr. Standesh is attacked.
…
Bored.
There is pain, and more pain, and pain after.
But bored.
Stasis
…
PAIN!
INTERFERERS ARE CUTTING MAIN BODY!
WILL FIND BRAIN!
INTERFERERS REMOVED PARTIAL BRAIN DEVELOPED EARLIER IN LIFE CYCLE.
Fast. Must remove brain fast, before interferers remove simple brain and make main body unable to develop.
CUTTING INSTRUMENT GETS CLOSE.
ALMOST FOUND!
Relief.
Brain gone.
“Hmm… Cral, wuold yuo mnid shoiwng me teh X-rya reuslts agian?”
“Srue thnig Dveon, have ‘em rgiht… here.”
“... odd. The cahrt shwos taht there shuold be a mass rgiht aobut here, next to the Core, but… nhtoing.”
“Myabe the bguger was shfiting its Core aruond? Haerd form some bolke in lab three when spceimens do that it can rgiht mess with its raidopacity.”
“Prehaps. I was wroried it had strated growing a brain agian.”
“Nah, Doc remvoed that fucntion. Mnoster shuold be toatlly brainless, for now and alawys.”
…
Hate Mr. Stnadeseh.
Cut tool gone.
Communicating interferers.
Wait.
No more cut.
Wait.
Heal cut.
Wait.
Grow brain.
Relief. Processing speed increased again.
“Doctor, I have the Rift particle collision results.”
“Ah, excellent work, thank you Roe-Rose.”
“You’re goddamn welcome. Apologies for my language.”
“...perhaps lab two would be a better fit for you?”
“Please don’t.”
Stasis.

The Book of Hickory
Now why did Hickory go and punch that Angel? Sure it spooked him, popping up right there at lunch, and yet, it wasn't fear that balled his hand into a fist - Cause wouldn't you? Wouldn't anyone - with a sick Ma at home, Da long dead, buried, all them prayers piling up on bruised knees, unanswered? Hickory was angry, all right. He was fierce, now - cause that Angel didn't show up to give no help, that Angel came by asking for it - with all that power just plain to see, the power to fix the world and all that ails it! And now look what poor Hickory has to do - to save the world? Now how is he supposed to do that when its taking near everything he's got - just to keep them chickens safe, Ma fed, and himself out of trouble - All he wanted was maybe just a dance with May, maybe a bit more, to hold her close? That she's sweet, now, a voice like an angel, but now she's over there lookin at him like he's more than a man. And that's not to say Hickory is bad, not all the time, not ever on purpose - just there are things a man has to - That drinking and fighting ain't wrong just as long as the chores are done proper first, that those parts of life that make it worth living ain't no sin, that loving a lady is proper and Hickory just has so much love to give! And May is special, right, sweet and soft, now she's sophisticated. That she wears her passion like a pearl necklace? That certainly Hickory would notice, naturally - that she's already spoken for, perhaps taken? That ever since Hickory came back, that all she can think about is swallowing - those strange feelings, because it wouldn't do, would it? For a Lady? But certainly she can worship him and still be seen with Weston Covanger? Because Weston needs May, that what happens in the Study is only half the battle, the Men's Business, and he's far too proud to settle for half of anything. That if he wants to move up the ranks of his family, to be more than a Covanger, to become the Covanger? He's going to need a woman in the Kitchen as well - he's going to need May. And if that seems a bit old fashioned? A bit too much like the Wild West? Well the West is starting to get wild again now that everyone starts to Drink. A different take on LitRPG where answers aren't given - they must be earned, discovered and fought for, one at a time. An orator style, a long read, filled with magic buildings, crafting, alchemy, but most of all - This is a story about the human spirit. About understanding what defines a person, their morals, their beliefs, and also faith when everything they understand becomes challenged - changed. So do they. People can change. They will. Just not always for the better, not always - sometimes. Sometimes that's enough. Sometimes that's even everything.
