Chapter Text
The blood is flooding this tomb. I'm screaming something, I can't even begin to process. This whole fucking mess could've just stopped. Why didn't they stop it? Why?!
All I can hear it's the blood rushing through my ears and just red everywhere. I'm drowning. Punching, screaming.... Floating. Eden save me I won't make it. I know I won't but that doesn't mean I'm going down by myself. That creature... I'm taking you down with me I swear to you!
I was always told that dying was the greatest gift you could give to your brothers but I have no brothers. They’re all gone now. Even so I can't help but feel at peace with this fucked death. I always knew death for me was going to be cold but now I don't even feel that. I feel nothing. It's calling to me. I hear it. No one will hear your last prayer just like no one will hear mine.
Fitting end to the butcher wouldn't you say?
I'm suddenly burning got and freezing cold at the same time.
My lungs burn. My neck burns. Or feels like something's ripping my skin apart! I clutch my neck and feel the skin tearing under my hands. Hand. I only have one left now. Fuck!
The ripping continues down my throat into my lungs. Ive felt this before. Torture isn't something I'm unfamiliar with. Drowning feels similar. But something's changing. I gasp a breath in through the blood filling my ripped open coffin. I can breathe? How? I'm still clutching my neck and feel the ripped skin. I push my fingers in and I'm suddenly choking again! Fuck this can't be right!
Suddenly I start to come back. Everything hurts fuck! I thought this would be over by now! I'm only one fuckihg man why am I going through so much bullshit?! I don't deserve this!
I'm swimming? I can't tell. I'm just getting away from that fucking creature finally.
I feel something solid. I try to look up at this thing I've touched. I can't see anything. It's all red. Wait no, I'm making something out. Yes! I see it! Its... It's another coffin... Fuck... FUCK! I thought I got away in time! Those motherfuckers got here too soon! Fucking dammit!

"Rocky you know how much I love researching but I really don't think this is a good idea bud"
I'm starting to get more and more nauseous just looking at this moon! And I know it's a moon because it's top small to be a planet. Well to be fair so it's Pluto but- NO I will not start thinking about that right now. Anyways I mean seriously! It's red and thick and... And MOVING! This can't be right! "Mary detects distress signal. Statement. Grace does not want to help new human? Question?" he really did make a good point.
"It's not that rock but what if they're not human it could be just an error from Mary"
"Grace does not want to check? Question?" I sigh and run my face pushing my glasses off of my nose and making them hang precariously from my right ear.
"I do but we can't risk getting hurt rocky! I mean what if they're some crazy alien thingy! They could want to lay eggs in my cheesy or something!" Rocky just stares at me then shakes his carapace and sighs.
"Grace think same of me before first met. Statement" I sigh. He's right of course doesn't mean it's less dangerous. "fine rocky I'll make perpetrations to atleast get closer to look at this... Whatever it is..."
I'm unhappy but I hear Rocky's little happy trolls follow behind me as I go to the controll room to see if I can even begin to steer closer. My control of the shop had definitely gotten better... At least I think so, rocky would disagree.
I steer closer and weirdly enough three distress signal starts coming in stronger. I groan and look at rocky as he's already wagging himself back and forth. "Ok big shot any idea how we could possibly get closer to be able to help?"
"Grace brain smart! Should know already! Statement" I groan. I guess I'm on my own figuring this out. Wait! "Rocky! We could potentially try and land in the liquid that's on the planet and then it wouldn't be such a hard landing and then we should be able to take off again from the liquid long as we don't submerge or risk anything getting into the Hail Mary"
"Grace stupid. When was last sleep cycle question?" I sigh "any other ideas are welcome" I murmer half heartedly.
Well we did it and I'm surprised it worked honestly. I'm in my space suit since I don't know what if any atmosphere this planet? Moon? Whatever has. I get out to see something. It's not human for sure. But it's also not not human? I groan and go to rub my face forgetting I have a helmet on and thunk my hand against my helmet. I look over this huminoid thing assessing it before I get too close.
It's covered in the liquid off this place. And breathing... Oh my Mary! It's breathing! All logic leaves my brain as I grab this thing and bring it with me into the ship leading it to Armando. Already something will know what to do! Hopefully...
