For all who are lost in this wold, and the next
Intro:
Pain, it's life and death. It drives us to succeed, and allows deaths icy grip to pull you into the ocean. The marines say "pain is weakness leaving the body" and, I guess it is. Or is it just weakness forcing its self out through all of the pores in your body, is it something that bleeds out and dies, or does it just, boil over and burst. One thing that's for sure, it eats like a wolf, it devours. Pain is a generic emotion, it derives from fear, disappointment, hatred, love, and every other thing you can think of. But without pain, there would be no life. Everything would dissipate from flesh and bone. We, as a human race, would die. You see, the two base elements of life are pain, and pleaser.
And without one, the other wouldn't exist, and things would be out of balance. If we had no pain, pleaser would be the norm, therefor bland. And if we had no pleaser, pain would no longer be painful, and we would never have any joy in life.
Chapter 1:
Remember the ishimura
"you hear about the ishimura?" said Markus. "no, what happened? It was a planet-cracker, right" I replied. "yea, they just brought it in" said Markus while sipping on a extra large cup of decaf coffee. "why, you never told me... Why is it here?" I replied. "hu? Oh yea, it was some sort of terrorist attack. I heard they killed the whole crew" Markus said in a lazy, half drunk tone. EEP-EEP-EPP "hey mark, what's that noise? An alarm? Now?" EEP-EEP-EEP "I don't know, or care" he replied. "come on, let's go! We are supposed to evacuate when we hear that" I said in a panicked voice. "AHH!-HELP ME! GET IT OFF, GET IT..." EEP-EEP-EEP. "what the hell was that bro?" said Markus in a somber and glum tone. "it came from down the hall, we NEED to go, like, NOW" I said sternly. "k, let's go man, maybe it those terrorist! Haha" Markus replied in a cocky voice. EEP-EEP-EEP. I stood up and left my breakfast sitting on the table and slowly crept towards the chrome door. When I tried to open it, it seemed to be locked from the outside. "what the HELL!" I yelled. "what?" said Markus. "it's locked, the damn door is LOCKED!" chtk-chk-tk-cht. "you hear that mark? It's in the vent... What the..." I whispered. "AHH! HAAA!" Markus screamed. "OH GOD! OH GOD! NO! MARK" I yelled. I went back into the kitchen and scrambled for a steak knife I got for my birthday. Once I hade the knife I starter stabbing the creature ripping mark from limb to limb. Whatever I did it wouldn't die, I had to dismember it completely to kill it, but it was to late, mark was dead. "THIS IS DIRECTOR BILL CALLON, WE ARE HAVE SOME TECHNICAL ISSUES IN THE CASSINI TOWERS, PLEASE, REMANE INSIDE" the intercom belched. And this is how it all started.
Chapter 2:
End of the beginning of the after life
I had to leave, "I was going to die for sure" I thought. The door was locked and wouldn't open, I needed a new way out. "HELP! ANYONE, HELP!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. After a short time I heard a plasma cutter firing at the lock from the outside. "we got ya kid" said the the man in a gruff tone. BWAP! The door hit the floor and I exited my room, I then approached the man who saved me and thanked him, he replied with a grunt. As I walked away he flew past me in a wave of visceral and blood, he hit the wall with a thud. I then rushed to grab his plasma cutter and dismember the approaching beast. PSID, PSID, PSID. 1, 2, 3. Head, arm, arm, and it dropped, like the demon that it was. Then I looted my newly found, yet dead friend, for amo and credits. The sound of screaming and death soiled the air, the shock was running through my veins, adrenalin surged though my body making me shake. I crawled to an elevator and made my way down to the bottom floor. When I got out of the elevator, the demons had left, so had everyone else. They were dead. The scene was even worse than the sounds, it made me vomit all over the deck.
Chapter 3:
Burning tower of hell reincarnate.
All of the dead. They wept in agony. In my belief, all dead deserve a funeral. These men had none. I had to do my best at a funeral though, so I gathered all of the corpses and carried them into the atrium. I set them side by side, covered their faces with their clothing, and lit them ablaze. The fire grew vast, and danced like snow across a martian winter. It told me their story's, their loves, and their lies. The heat flooded the chilled room. I felt like a match in the void of space, soon to sizzle out from lack of oxygen. "Rest in peace, my family, I won't see you in heaven, I'll be burning in hell. I'm gunna [censored] all the bastards who did this up. I'm escorting them to hell personally" I said while holding back my tears. I then took my knife and carved "remember the Cassini towers, [censored] us all-" into the floor. I then took my blade upon myself, and inscribed "-only the devil can save us" on my briastplate.
Chapter 4;
Into the void. (the cold and empty)
After I saw that all were honorably dismissed from life, I walked out the door, into barren space. I had oxygen supplies that would last for an hour, and I would need it. Those things, the demons, they needed no air, no human life support. And yet they came from us? They were us? They are us. The signs all read that earth government was doing an evacuation in sprawl central, that was where I was headed. I would seek my revenge there. The depths of space echoed all of the distant noises, the pain, yet space was empty and cold, it had no heart. A swarm of the beast rushed toward me, "left arm, right. Left, right, left, right" I whispered to myself, and so I upended fire upon my disfigured brother. They floated in the vast emptiness, lifeless. I marched on, moving like a drone, dropping all of the creatures. I had no hesitation. Shooting at the once joyous beings. They were cold and lifeless from the minute I saw them to the second a past by them. Lifeless, loveless, hopeless. Ahead of me was an office building, I crossed the street, and entered, easy as that.
Chapter 5:
Relieving a wound with two wounds.
As I approached the airtight door, I saw the massacre of the Cassini towers flash before me. I saw the horror, the pain, and the dead. It haunted me, it was eating me up inside. "DWOOSH". "hu? Oh, it's open". I stepped into the darkness of the abandoned office, and the door shut behind me. I turned the light on the end of my plasma-cutter on, and began my descent onto the bowels of the building. "whee, whee". I heard a living person down the approaching corridor. "whee, WHeee". "who's there?" I heard in the distance. "WHEE!" "what the hell, it's getting louder..." I whispered. Then, I saw the room the noise was emitting. A light was flickering on and off in the area near the door. "hello?" I whispered. "GWAAH!! GAAH!" "[censored]! [censored], [censored], [censored]. die you MOTHER [censored], DIE!" I repeated at the top of my lungs, thinking it would help. "AAH! GLAA!" the child like beast yelled. THUMP, SPLISHK. my foot dropped on its shriveled head, and it slowly died off. It was a daycare, in the office. The daycare was flooded with blood, and, and these, things. These mutated children. In the background I could hear "twinkle, twinkle, little star" playing. It brought found memories back from when I was a child. Memories of a time without death, or war, or evil. Memories of love. For now that's all I have, memories. Sprawl central, that was my goal now. I didn't stop, everything I saw, I shot. As I went though the quiet office, I saw the door that would take me out of the building and into the hub of the Sprawl, Sprawl central.
Chapter 6:
Today it's us, tomorrow, it will be you
When I realized I was there, that I had reached my goal, I froze. I had no plan, no idea. I hunched over and puked on the floor. This wasn't from stress like before, this, this was something else. I approached the door and it released. I was shaking. "hey! You! We're evacing this whole sector, why are you still here?". "[censored] you!! You guys never helped us! You just abandoned us! You let the Cassini towers go to hell!". I shouted at the earth gov evac patrol troop. When he started to reply, I took my knife and stabbed him in the side of his throat. He grovlled to the ground and reach to me, I left him, and went on toward the evac ship. I had to wait in line for hours. They had us all go through processing, ID'd us, then they loaded us in. "where are we headed?" I asked the trooper. "the [censored] outa here" he replied. I went into the ship and snuck out of the line headed toward the engine rooms. I hid out in the main room under a secondary reactor, and waited. When we took off, I finally got some sleep. I dreamed of home, before the outbreak, I saw the hope, the peace, the life. Everything was alive, without the mutated flesh and rotten muscle. The protruding bones stayed in their body's. Then, my chest got tight, and was gasping for air, I was floating through empty space, the stars glimmering into the darkness. DWOO-WHAAAA "hu? Oh, I guess it's time" I said when I realized we had landed.
Chapter 7:
Hells advisory
When we took of once again, I snuck to the airlock. I waited until we were in mid space, and then planted a mine I had picked up of the original earthgov trooper I had killed. When I made my final shot with my plasma cutter, it svcked us all out, into the void. One by one, I felt them choking off and fading into death. But so was I, I was deep in space, slowly fading. It was quiet, and peaceful. I would never see another necromorh again.
