It feels like my spine is hula hooping while the rest of my body stays still, letting it scrape against what was left of my organs that hadn’t been replaced by Red. The pain I receive is familiar, but that unfortunately does not make it any more bearable. How’bout it, huh? Are you as sick of the liquid diet through a tube as I am?” If you give me my esophagus back, I can show you what a burger tastes like. “Look at that, Red,” I say, nodding to one of the rooms we crossed. If I captured me, I’d set me on fire until there was nothing left but ash. While I am grateful that the foundation just captured me, why it has an insistence on keeping even things like that alive still baffles me. Or kill you as soon as you look at it, in one case. Most will kill you as soon as look at you.

Most things in containment here are not as friendly as me. If I get out of here, finding the rest of The Black Rabbit Company and breaking back in would probably be easier than trying to find my way through here safely in the middle of a breach. I’m not sure where that pool was either, so if I found one or the other, that would be fine with me. I don’t know where the exit is so I try to pick the halls that have an upward feeling to them. I hear sounds of gunfire, and the footsteps of something that sounded like a mammoth running a 500 yard dash, but nearby? Nada. The overly steril walls that I assumed would be crawling with terrified foundation researchers and monsters from the black lagoon are still empty, save for the occasional bloodstain. The halls are surprisingly baren for a breach like this. Alarms are blaring throughout the facility from the containment breach, which is good news for me, being one of the beings in said containment. “Glad to see you agree.” I zipp up my security force disguise and took a step out the door. That will transport us there… Am I reading that right?” He responds with another jolt of pain going through my spine. But hey! We get to save the world! We just need to find a…” I squint at the screen that’s the only illumination left in the dank room, “children's paddling pool. “Yeah, I guess it doesn’t sound like a good vacation spot for you, does it? Or those friends you're calling. “A planet of friendly robots is just a hop, skip, and a jump away from earth.” He makes arm twitch in pain. Though he’s technically less than a third of me.
