EVENT HORIZON - DAY THREE

[inferis]

[Well, things sure aren't fun for you guys right now, are they? And to make matters worse, some of you have become completely corrupted by the ship, and you've got some crazy new ideas in your heads.

Anyone not corrupted isn't doing that hot either. Not only do you have to deal with your new crazy-face buddies, but you have to deal with your own terrible hallucinations coming at you when you least expect them, and they want you to do terrible, awful things]

[Chell happens to be creeping along that tunnel. She's moving much slower now, having had a runin with a robot who wanted to smoosh her like a mouse, but she's still on her feet somehow. Maybe by sheer determination. But she's just silently trailing along behind Gale, a decent distance behind him. But she's listening to his song.]

Pretty...

[She says, not realizing just how her voice might echo.]

[fanstheflame]

[he freezes at the echo, and stops. in the dark - well, the dark he's convinced is there - it's hard to tell, but]

Who's there?

[silentrunning]

[She doesn't recognize him. Not really. In her head she's seeing a whole pile of Aperture scientists led by GLaDOS, who somehow has grown spidery metal legs and is crawling around.]

You know who I am.

[Noooo Chell staap. That's a dangerous thing to say to a dude who thinks he's deep in a mine man oh my gosh.]

[fanstheflame]

[so that's how they're playing it. they know he fought back at the firebombing, and they're sending one of them for him. again. he tightens his fists at his sides, knuckles cracking.]

Come to drag me down again, then? I'd like to see you try.

[silentrunning]

Drag you down? Haha. Like I could? You've always controlled me, you and your little friends.

[Ohhh maaan.]

[fanstheflame]

I think someone's got it backwards.

[setting his jaw, he strides forward. with his long legs, it doesn't take him long to close the distance between them]

[silentrunning]

Oh no I don't, you bitch. I've always wanted to tell you to go and blow up your own reactor core.

[Yup. Nuttier than squirrel dung. But she's glaring up at you, Gale, with those big pale grey eyes of hers and the angry part of her hallucinations are winning.]

And what are you going to do about it? Huh?

[Oh shit. Bad choice of words there, Chell.]

[fanstheflame]

[oh, they already dropped the bombs. and that's just the trigger he needs to haul off and aim a punch at her face]

[silentrunning]

[Well, she's already got broken ribs, so her attempt at ducking comes a second too late. Damn her luck. There's blood spurting out of her nose now, and it's now oddly out of alignment. She grits her teeth, not screaming as her world fuzzes and spins again and she tries to breathe through the torrent of blood.. But she has to retaliate. Moving as quickly as she can, she closes the distance and launches herself at him as best as she can and then for just one moment, she sees clearly.]

Wait... You're.... human? Not an AI? Who the hell are you?
