You're not sure how, but it seems you're in a bed. Around you is a burnt out lab, what looks to have been pristine metal work tables are nothing but slag and and the glass instruments are nothing but ash. To your far left, there seems to be the remains of a large monitor, the insides melted beyond repair some time ago. Of course, all that pales in comparison to the figure standing in the doorway leading to this safe room.Fatal Error: N/A wrote:Wake up and observe the surroundings.
Just as you slow down to rest, the sand around you starts shifting. Jumping out of the way, you look back to see a massive pair of steel mandibles, and the giant metallic beetle they are attached to coming out of the sand. Just as it looks like it's going to lunge at you, a massive wave of sand sweeps it onto its back, then crushes it with its weight.Code 57: N/A wrote:Rest
Peeking around the corner, you spot the source of the footsteps. A woman with deep blue armor similar to that of the corpse you recently scavenged, pale purple hair, and green/blue eyes that lock on to your own as soon as they spot you. Her hand goes to the holster at her waist, but she doesn't pull out the pistol, instead she seems to be waiting.Snipeheart: N/A wrote:Peek around the corner.
The figure stiffens, before moving her hand from her pistol. "You are a test subject." Her voice is monotone, and completely lacking emotion. The area around her seems a lot colder then normal as well. "You have an armament similar to my own, I am guessing you found it?" Nodding to herself she motions for you to follow her as she walks in the opposite direction.

Be ready to duck back behind the corner if it draws a weapon.
The woman holds her hand up, as if to say stop talking. "First of all, I don't know where the fuck you come from, but I just saved your worthless life show me some respect!" Her yell is accompanied be a small spark from her hands, as she calms she starts to speak again. "As for where we are, we're in a fucking volcano, or at least something like that. In particular, you're in my little hideaway." She pauses, before stepping closer to you, the room warming up a few degrees. "As for who I am... fuck If I can remember, so I decided to let the asshole in charge name me, so you can call me Huǒ. Got it? Now get your ass up, we got ground to cover." (Gained Temp Ally: Huǒ)Fatal Error wrote:Attempt to ask her what happened? Who are you? And Where am I?
The large figure turns to you as you begin talking, as if listening carefully to your words. As soon as you offer to help it tenses, before relaxing and shaking its head. It points to the building under construction in the distance, as if pointing out the way for you before turning and heading the opposite way. A sandstorm soon kicks up, although you're unsure how when this is inside, but as it dies down, the figure is gone. With its disappearance though, you feel a bit stronger.Code 57 wrote:Uhh.... who is that? Wave to the mysterious figure in a friendly manner. Get up. Attempt talking to the other test subject. Be ready to hide in the sand should the figure be hostile.
Making your way out of the lab with Huǒ, you come across a large wheel-like structure that's pulling lava into the vast machine around you. It seems that the lab was built into the massive machine you saw earlier. A growling from your right alerts you to a coming danger.Fatal Error: 1 wrote:Get up and leave the Lab
