No offense, but... you don't really look equipped to help.

@souleaterfan320

None taken! I can definitely get myself out of a pickle though probably, so I'm sure there's something I can do to help.

Hmm. Nice to meet you. Wish it wouldve been in better circumstances. Im sorry but you need to evacuate this area, there was an Amaranthine attack aboard this ship, and some may still be around.

@souleaterfan320

*Rubs my cheek*
Yeah... that wouldn't be great, I'm not much of a fighter. We should get your people out first though.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

... you're not one of them. Alright.

*quickly takes out a pack of bandaging, placing a smal gauze pad coated in triple antibiotic and applies it to your wound*

I'm.... sorry. But it was necessary. The name's Jackal. You?

@souleaterfan320

*Sighs in relief*
Surprise! Weird name, I know, so you can just call me Surprise.

*walks over to you slowly, drawing my knife*

Hold still and don't move.

*takes the knife, and gently cuts your cheek, watching it to see how your skin reacts, still holding the gun aimed at your chest*

@souleaterfan320

Owwww...
*Out of the cut trickles a viscous, amber liquid*

<Snipped quote by Source>

It'd help you, in this case.

*motions with my gun barrel to the wall, and back to you*

Against the wall. Now.

@souleaterfan320

Oooookay, I don't really love where this is going.
*Takes a few steps backward and flattens my back against the wall*

*walks toward you, my gun still raised, stopping a few feet from you*

Got any identification?

@souleaterfan320

*Keeps my hands raised*
Er, no, not besides my face. Was I supposed to?

... what do you think about when you hear the word Amaranthine...?

@souleaterfan320

Ahhh... from what I’m told, bad things, people-takey-overy things.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

What affiliation are you?

@souleaterfan320

Um... non? Me? To be really really real with you, I don’t know what that means.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

Yeah, so did those other fuckers that tore our ship apart. Some kibd of grand scheme of a messiah and the Golden Path, using the Amaranthine tp lead us all to paradise. Its a bunch of bullshit. You people... no, monsters have killed enough people. Leave me alone.

*you hear the loading of a magazine into my weapon, as I turn the corner on point, gun aimed down the hallway*

@souleaterfan320

*Retreats deeper into my side hall*
I’m not trying to sell you anything! I’m just here to give medical help to anyone who’s still alive.
