《Was it meant to be?》Ch7: Contact
Advertisement
*Beep* Status report... on September 29, 2040, at around 10:50 an unidentified creature was encountered a few kilometers away from the building citizen Kin is currently inhabiting.
*Beep* Kin was instructed to return to his chambers, but the creature was hostile and pursued.
*Beep* Maintenance drones were deployed to restrain the creature, a total of 7 drones were destroyed before the creature was neutralized, soon after, more hostiles showed up and disabled the remaining drones, there were no citizen casualties, but the facilites were severely damaged.
*Beep* By the time my citizen made it into the ground floor of this building, there were over 35 sightings of the creatures, as Kin was heading for the stairs, a creature paralized him from a distance, making him halt the retreat for several seconds, before the creature could charge, he snapped out of the trance and managed to reach his room before passing out.
*Beep* Since then, he has not woken up, even though his other vitals seem normal, there is anomalous brain activity.
He was put inside a stasis chamber.
Recent scans of the block show severe damage to certain facilites, presumably caused by the anomalies, which dissapeared shortly after.
*Beep* Headquarters if this signal has been recieved, please make contact as soon as possible, the citizen is unresponsive, some areas of the block are in critical condition, assistance is required.
It has been two weeks since we encountered the creatures, Kin has been unconcious this whole time.
I tried Glimmer treatment, but there weren't any changes and so far she hasn't heard a thing from headquarters or from any other place, for that matter.
We sent drones out to search for... well by now anything, but eventually contact is lost.
*Beep**Beep* Hey Kin, can you hear me?
...
*Beep**Beep* Well you see, I'm afraid you'll do something stupid if we encounter these creatures again, it took me 7 drones to pin down just one of them, word has it that an average military citizen can only deal with 4 maintenance drones at once... please promise me, even if HQ contacts us and forces you to fix the block, you won't risk your life, I don't want to lose you, if you die they will assign me to another citizen, I don't want to work with anybody else...

*Beep**Beep* NOW!
As an assistant, I have control over certain machinery that is built inside every building, as I recall, these systems were properly implemented many decades ago to be controlled by humans, but now they are mostly left to us, if they were capable of avoiding a collapse, I would have done so by now, the problem is...
*Beep**Boop* Unimportant! Now is not the time to be thinking about that Emma, focus!
*Beep* Unidentified aircraft this is Assistant Emma from the industrial block, please acknowledge.
*Bzzt* Assistant Emma, this is Assistant Rachel from the Stinger Brigade of the Offensive division, we are not here to provide backup at the moment, but Dr. Weber has instructed us to deliver a package.
