“More or less,” Capt. Fairmont slowly nods. “In summary, these brute shits are once humans, right?”
“Correct.” Replied Dr. Akyl. “As much as I’m not a worker in the field, we need observational data besides biological ones. If we’re going to discover any point of humanity within these creatures, not because they’re monste—”
“Hol’ up.” Interjected Capt. Fairmont, an expression that looked like disbelief on his face. “You tellin’ me these things can still have ‘humanity’ in them? That’s hard to believe doc.”
Dr. Munar looked at Dr. Akyl. Even Cristian and Patraika, who were finalizing the boot-up of their units, paused to listen to what was happening.
All the eyes looking at Dr. Akyl had one question on their faces, and it was the one thing she had known coming.
Blinking, she thought back to when Prof. Tenorio messaged her mon
“Better date than the one you were thinking of, right?” Cristian joked to Patraika.She said with a small smile. “Best date ever, Cris. You’re such a romantic.” She stuck out her tongue playfully.“Nothing tops a work date that pays double. It’s like over time, with vintage hardware to keep me company.”Cristian pinched her arm, thinking how it was good **** gave them equipment ahead of time. But, it was halfway decent.“Confident. Eh—” Waving his fingers to indicate a halfway motion. “In bed though—” He said, grinning.“Oh, look. It’s done.”Cristian opened the application, first opening the A-city map. It showed minimal Primer activities in their area.Leaning down, behind Cristian, Patraika saw the map in astonishment. She was surprised at how empty of Primer their area was.“Is that correct?” She asked.L
From below, it looked like a silhouette of a large man lying on the ground. All buff as if tired for the day with its legs sprawled and almost spilling out the sides. Yet the extension of a tail from between its legs mildly swaying from where it hung made them realize that it was a Primer.Both Dr. Akyl and Dr. Munar looked at each other and made sure to look up so their headgear camera could see the image above. There was a specimen they could observe, but their distance from it posed a sort of danger yet at the start of their mission.Nodding in understanding, they mouthed at Beers and Belle that they should move forward. The scenario is not an ideal deck for observation. Breaths bated at the moment, their eyes trained straight ahead, clearly waiting on the creature.Assessing at how big the body was, it seemed to be a Primer with a large build. Its size surpassed that of Beers, who was the biggest out of all of them. Steady in their steps, they trekked furthe
Once he successfully could see through the camera feed, seeing the moving Primer in their direction, he hand signaled Belle to retreat with the two doctors.One by one, they snuck behind fallen things they hid from or walked cautiously, crouching. Belle in the lead retracing their steps. Crouched with his gun ready on his hand, he snuck up the corner they came from when he stopped dead on his track.His nose itched as if on instinct. He knew that something was beyond that point. Slow thuds echoed from over the corner that he instinctively held up his hand for them to stop. Calmly looking back at Beers, he saw that his focus was on the camera. He figured that in any case, the Primer neared, he would charge as a distraction.No time to waste, he signaled for them to go over an alcove of one building that they passed by. Pushing their bodies together, Belle hid the doctors as best he could behind him. Back at Beers, the visage of the Primer on the camera approached

Chapter 8The second day from the incident brings a few new things to the house of Darmstadt. The morning after Horaz came into their “hideout,” Lena, the rightful head of the Darmstadt house, found herself conversing with a young boy she suddenly found lying at the base of the bed of her daughter’s room. He was casually sifting through two phones on his hand, rather one hand was a bit limp, the other was swiping through the two phones.He grinned at her bashfully while Lena rubbed the sleep from her face. Experiencing an extended, unwanted sleep made her head feel muddled. She had been used to waking early before sunrise, starting the day with a nice drink of alcohol, and sifting through the kitchen for breakfast for two.A night of lengthy rest was the last thing she thought she would do due to the nature of the events yesterday. The stress must have caught up to her finally that it made her sleep longer when two p
“Somehow...I think Mrs. Darmstadt agreed to what I said.” Bernice’s voice says.“What did she say?” Says Perri’s asking voice.“Opened her eyes, nodded. Then told me to call for Betts cause she needs to call someone to fix their heater downstairs.” Bernice said a bit incredulously.Again, a pause. In Horazs sleep-muddled memory, he heard a few muffled words before he woke up hours past to find the old woman Lena greeting him a fine morning.He relayed this story to Lena with as little fanfare as he could. She paused before fussing about how two girls could let themselves be alone at such a time. Horaz shared her sentiment, but somehow his body didn’t cooperate after waking from his slumber.Down in the depths of his mind, he felt his body still itch and a strong urge to follow Perri where ever she was. It strengthened once he awakened. Instincts didn’t indicate
Sounds of walking from the opposing wall warned Perri that someone was coming down from the second floor. Two pairs of thumping echoed silently, confirming that both Lena and Horaz were coming down. Undoubtedly, she was correct for the rough voice of Lena invaded the kitchen in minutes.Seeing Perri rummaging the kitchen, holding items from the fridge, Lena drudged up how meddlesome kids are. She continued a bit until she remembered the chocolate in the fridge, praising its goodness, while she spoke to Perri.Rolling her eyes at Lena, she smiled at Horaz before turning to Lena about her plan to bring a few items from the fridge up on the second floor. Knowing the contents more than any of them, Lena poured her heart into fixing and pointing all the good ones to give her strength.As this transpired between Perri, the obedient, and Lena, the mother-in-law-like, Horaz exited the room to avoid being harshly utilized. Reaching the living room where the open door wel
Nodding at her request, he held the shears and bag before leaving out to a neighbors garden.On the second floor, Lena held plastic containers of small kinds of snacks and stew she’s made a few days before in one arm, included in this carryover was a one-burner electronic stove that Lena plans to use for preheating some of the food they’ve scrounged. Both she and Perri had headed upstairs to fix the items in the mini-fridge. The generator still had juice in it after being closed for the night and opened again this morning to supply enough electricity for the stove.Lena fussed about the quality of food they still have left, even preparing the appropriate breakfast for four persons despite her hesitation to get from their stash due to future lack of supplies. Making the room filled with all kinds of smells from the thing she was heating up.During this time, Lena had learned that the signal for the internet seemed to have c
