wisdom of an atoning medic (arknights).

Chapter: 1: final moments on a dying world.

It had been a long while since what happened and those first few days of arriving into a different world entirely, and many things had happened with change coming naturally, as doktor- who had gotten different clothes and a new mask, was now sitting on a hill filled with trash, writing something into a book while hexal read what he wrote on his shoulder.

Doktor: "Day: XXX, about many months- maybe even a few years since I had been thrown into this place... This point I'm hoping I've kept track of the days because of how everything has been. At times I think if I had actually died by that RIFT and am actually in hell because of how this world enjoys suffering, luckily those I have met and befriended here keep that in check."

Noises begin being heard as they soon grow louder along with flashes appearing, before loud shouting is heard along with the sound of burning flames. Doktor quickly stops writing, buts his things away and gets going towards what's happening as hexal jumps off his shoulder and hovers after him.

Doktor: "yet despite that... the part about this place being hell isn't exactly an exaggeration either."

*Horn noises*

Doktor arrives at the source to see the whole settlement being invaded as everyone was fighting off the beasts while some kept the fire at bay, as Doktor then quickly dodges a tail whip from one before throwing a needle at it, making it back off before running away into the fighting with hexal hovering close behind- evading attacks aimed at it.

Doktor: "As I've been told: the agriculture of this dying world doesn't take anyone not born on it kindly,  trying to 'kill off the invasive species' that have stumbled into it. As such like everyone else I've had to learn and adapt to survive... though more so learn everything I could to keep these people alive- luckily the waves of calamity are similar to the catastrophe ones from terra though more deadly as we had to be very precise on where one is since it erases anything in its vicinity, so everyone here is pretty adept in predicting where one will move. Naturally all this came to me getting involved with others that had ended up here as well."

Mato: "yeeee! Out of the way!" He said rushing past multiple people including the doctor who quickly jumped back as a creature rushed after trying to bite him.

Mato shots behind a few times only for the bullets to miss before running into a wall and back flipping off it, catching the creature off guard before shooting it a few times, landing on it and the caving its head in with some bunches.

Mato: "creepy bastard! Why- Not another one!" He shouts as he begins running again from another creature that was identical to the one he just killed, though there was a person on top it's back stabbing a knife in it.

Doktor: "There's mato, the youngster that's half annoying brat and half good kid. He's the one I've taken most care of as it's common for him to get injured from what I've seen, and the most annoying from messing with my equipment or just being plain childish. But despite that, he's a good kid and will help others despite his attitude."

Doktor continues pushing through all the fighting before halting as a beast was shot out of the sky in front of him, quickly after he sees a beast trying to carry someone away before being shot down with multiple bullets as arna appears with both her guns drawn, before shooting the twitching fallen beast with her handgun.

Arna: "go and help put out the fires, I've got this!" She shouts firing her sniper at a distant creature.

"R-right, thanks arna!" She said before doing as told.

Doktor: "after there's arna, a very athletic girl that's surprisingly also strong enough to hold a heavy sniper woth her accuracy on point, she has a reasonable attitude though she can be bubbly or snarky when feeling as such, she rarely gets injured... plus she does what I say she should do when having an injury."
