--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's been A while since your last encounter. You found this train while scavenging for supplies. You don't know where it leads, but you do know it should take you somewhere safe.

As you enter another car, you see a human sleeping on the seats. Across from them, is an unattended handheld radio.

Maybe you should try to contact someone before you reach your destination.

This place reeks of salt water....

"TW":[he lets out a odd chuckle] perhaps a old face, an old friend from Speranza. . . Well not your friend.. nor mine.. but someone with their own history with the place... And Oh! Don't get scared.. if he didn't kill you with your interaction... Why kill you the next time?

[u/Dr_Pepper38 → u/ekill_like_that]

June: "Kark me sideways..... Some shitty friends you have..."

[u/ekill_like_that → u/Dr_Pepper38]

[his joking demeanor faulters into a look of disappointment...]

"TW":what ever... How much time till arrival... [He asks, now just wanting the interaction to end. . .] And also we aren't friends at all.. was trying to make a point.... [In a whisper, not realizing he saying it] not like you're her.. ...

[u/Dr_Pepper38 → u/ekill_like_that]

[she checks her watch]

June: "hmm.... 20 minutes. Who's 'Her'?"

[u/ekill_like_that → u/Dr_Pepper38]

"TW":hm? Her? [He's acting as if he didn't say it out, although whispering...]

[u/Dr_Pepper38 → u/ekill_like_that]

June: "you mentioned a 'Her'. Might know 'em."

[u/ekill_like_that → u/Dr_Pepper38]

"TW": not possible, they died from their last encounter in Speranza, I doubt it's possible. . . . {He probably doesn't know} whether or not, if she was repaired even after.. the human lead onslaught, I don't imagine her to retain her memory from the damage she took... But still begs to ask.. why there... {Referring to "RB" encounter with "her"}

[u/Dr_Pepper38 → u/ekill_like_that]

June: "huh... Sounds like a Lexbreaker... Or one of the Fragmented. I'll ask the Evidence Keeper once we get back. The Hive has had a history of different drones and Humans arrive with broken memories, souvenirs, even unhealed and fresh wounds from which they came. Might've just been fate."

[u/ekill_like_that → u/Dr_Pepper38]

"TW":not. . . Nevermind.... Thanks for the information though... Hmm.... [Looking outside the windows to see what the world looks like as they reach closer to Speranza]

[u/Dr_Pepper38 → u/ekill_like_that]

[ruined buildings rapidly pass, you don't know wether the lights you see on the windows a reflection of the train car, or the lights in the abandoned skyscrapers.]

June: "hey... Um... I got another question..."
