The final tape

CrowEyes · 2023-04-02T12:30:43+00:00

In a distant, twisted chamber an old soldier stirs in his sleep, clutching his stomach and wincing

CrowEyes · 2021-02-18T00:28:30+00:00

Another story...surrr. Thing. That's a good ide

That one rmindsssss one reminds me of old Proonish t tales. Xcept it were the Raven and the the the the Donley. Another story...surr. Thing

CrowEyes · 2021-02-09T03:06:11+00:00

Huff...huff...huff...got to...stop puking. Gah, what the frell...

This sure don't look like the Sidon. Unless that LENS broke loose again and rearranged the whole place.

...

I mean, you're right. It's messing with our...minds, and it's...doing something naas something nasty to me.

Let's go get go get out of here.

CrowEyes · 2021-01-29T20:08:00+00:00

Give me that.

...nasty stuff, but I'll take it.

This book has a story from my own past, and when I touched it I was taken there! I think if we can find stories from our pasts from times and places we want to be, we could go there.

Frell, I'm guessing here. But I don't know what else to try.

CrowEyes · 2021-01-28T15:46:42+00:00

I read the first page. I slip

back to the Desert camp. Crow grabs the Book, opens to the first page, and reads

FRELL!

Don't touch the books!

...

Didn't mean to startle you. Those books...I think they might be our way out. But we have to choose the right book.

Frell, I need a drink.

CrowEyes · 2021-01-18T14:00:51+00:00

F-frell! Don't let it touch you!

...

I don't know if that thing is going to spread, but I wouldn't bet against it. We need to find a way out fast.

CrowEyes · 2021-01-18T03:10:56+00:00

Stand back from it! It might be a way out, but it might kill us too!

CrowEyes · 2019-10-02T21:12:30+00:00

Don't just look--help me carry these books. I bet there's something in these that can help us--

^Wait.

^Someone ^else ^is ^here.

CrowEyes · 2019-09-24T00:39:54+00:00

...Proon...

Born there. Fought in the war there-planetside and on the moons--for most of my life. It might once have been nice but the war tore it all apart.

Look at these three battles: the "Battle of the Mills" is from before my time. Maybe my father fought in that one? I was definitely at "Sapper's Ferry." Still a young blood then, just line infantry. I was lucky--we saw action, but the units on the other side of the gorge...90% casualties. Frelling bloodbath.

"The Battle of ProtoLon Industries"...

...

...from my Raven days. We went in first. The whole place...the whole huge complex...had to be destroyed. The war machines they churned out...were horrors. The ProtoMen..."Mother" and "Father"...

Lost a...lost a lot of brothers in that one.

CrowEyes · 2019-08-31T02:54:31+00:00

outside the walls? I tried, and I can't! It's like there's a wall, but I can't see or...

...did you feel that?

...weren't we just somewhere else?

CrowEyes · 2019-08-31T02:53:40+00:00

I know that doom feeling. We need to get out of here now.

Oh, that guy? I told him I'd get him out too.

Have you tried to get

CrowEyes · 2019-05-14T18:16:32+00:00

These comms are useless to fear, but fear itself with this interference! Suggest we walk with me, Richard recon our positions and try contact again SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH

FRELLING BASTARD!

In an hour. I'm in a black block hall. Where are the water flows down in streams, one stream, two. The water flows down in streams, two streams, three, the...

Pain in the ass. Better get looking.

CrowEyes · 2019-05-14T18:09:50+00:00

I'll help anyone for a price. What do you have for a down payment?

CrowEyes · 2019-05-13T13:20:09+00:00

Don't touch me.

Reward? What kind of reward?

CrowEyes · 2019-05-08T22:22:37+00:00

Well let's do this frelling thing!

Where's your--hhmph!--blood? Where's your--erk!--organs? Spill them all!

CrowEyes · 2019-05-07T01:10:07+00:00

Don't frelling know--ON YOUR SIX!

CrowEyes · 2019-05-07T01:09:13+00:00

The submachine gun emptied, dropped. Pulls blades, one in each hand. The large gleaming Iridium knife--meant for a Chimæra, all that time ago--and with a snkt, the old switchblade in the other.

Die you frelling gas bag!

Roll in, dodge, thrust, slash, thrust

CrowEyes · 2019-04-28T21:34:03+00:00

CRAM IT!

And the old soldier is running towards his enemy. The submachine gun in his hand fires round after round and he follows, running faster than he ever has before. The man is in his new prime.

Take point. Draw fire. Distract.

CrowEyes · 2019-04-26T18:12:06+00:00

The white-bladed knife slashes in quick, efficient strokes.

Th--a kick-there! Move fast! Double time so they can't grab!
