ShadowFall: Cyberpunk.

Chapter 2: Part 3.

Trod.. Trod.. Trod.. Aquino's footsteps go through the grass. Aquino's face falls, he thinks to himself, how did this happen, what was the cause? He tries to summon something up. "I saw .. a figure in the desert! But who -" There was a rustling in the bushes. Aquino stops walking, and stays still. He reaches for the pistol in his pocket. He QUICKLY turns around, aiming behind him. "AHA - .. oh, there's no one. Should'a known .." Aquino turns around, and carries on walking. He keeps the pistol close to him.

"This is bad, what if there isn't a medical facility? What if I'm being tracked .. or followed out here? Where am I anyway?" Aquino grabs the path finder, it ... was beeping? "What?" Aquino brings it close to his face to get a better look. "HEAT SIGNATURE?!" Aquino starts looking around, frightened. The path finder switches to camera mode.

(Okay, before we continue .. I'd like to clarify that the path finder isn't a map or anything. It's like a multi tool, a HIGH - TECH multi tool. It'll detect heat signatures from humans, animals, and insects and any other creatures. It also scans for buildings. Buildings which have a lot of heat signatures in them. (this is the only way Aquino can find the medical facility.) )

Aquino looks around, seeing nothing. In a certain direction .. there was something behind a bush. "Who is that?" It was a girl, she was looking at Aquino through the bushes. "H-Hello?" Aquino grabbed his pistol, putting the path finder away. "Who is there?" There was no response from behind the bush. Aquino walked closer. He steps on a stick. *CLICK* Suddenly the girl runs away, "Hey! C-Come back! I'M LOST!" Aquino yells, obviously he wasn't lost.

"Darn it." Aquino kicks at the ground. "Better keep walking then." Aquino gets back on track, and walks further into the deep rain forest. . . .

8:56 PM / UNKNOWN LOCATION /

It was dark, the forest was cold. The crickets sounded like jingle bells. Aquino was exhausted. "I ... *gasp* ... I gotta stop .." Aquino falls onto his bottom, against a tree. He lays his head back, immediately falling asleep.

Aquino's eyes were still asleep, he was hearing humming. "Hmm Hm Hmmm, Hmm Hm." It sounded like a girl. Aquino rolled onto his side, "Mother ... I'm at university, I don't go to school .. anymore." Aquino slowly awoke, not recognizing the humming. "Mother?" He opened his eyes. He was in the forest, "Oh .. just a dream." But it wasn't a dream, the humming was still heard. Aquino looked up, then the humming stopped. "What the ... ?" Aquino looked at his trench coat, which was torn. "Oh dear." Aquino put his finger in his mouth, and put it in front of his face.

(Jack Sparrow did this when he was trying to indicate which way the wind was blowing and how cold it was.)

"No wind .. nor is it cold. Eh well, I'm not warm or cold, I can keep it on." He gets up, yawning. He grabs the locker and carries it over his shoulder, continuing to walk. "How far is this facility -" The path finder started beeping again. "What now?" He took it out of the locker, and looked at it. " 'WARNING. YOU ARE NOW ENTERING A RESTRICTED AREA. VIOLATORS WILL BE SHOT ON SIGHT. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. PLEASE PRESS THIS BUTTON FOR MORE INFO.' Huh." Aquino proceeds to press it. " ' WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO?' " There was a list of options. There was a number! Finally! Aquino could reach the facility! Aquino taps his hand, and the screen projects.

He dials the number, and waits for a call.

(Dialog)

Automated voice: Hello! Thank you for calling ... MAPMAKER FOREST MEDICAL FACILITY. We will now put you on hold until a consultant answers. Thank you! BEEP

Aquino: Now we wait.

6:30 minutes later.

Consultant: Hello, this is Mapmaker Forest Medical Facility how may we help you?

Aquino: Uhh, yes. I'm stranded in Mapmaker forest and I seem to reaching the facility. I have an injured due to a V - TOL crash. Do I have permission to come closer?

Consultant: Hold on a minute sir. (talking to someone) Hey uhh, boss? Someone's injured and they're outside the facility and they want to come in. (???) Sure let them in.

Consultant: Sir, you have permission to enter the premesis. The guards will search you for any dangerous or hazardous items or materials. Thank you.

Aquino: Thanks!

(End of Dialog)

Aquino walks for several minutes, until looking up. There was a gate infront of him. Guards pointing their rifles at him from towers. "DROP ANY WEAPONS YOU HAVE!" Aquino does, and drops his pistol. "Alright, come in." The gate opens, and Aquino enters the facility.

When the gates fully opened, there was someone standing there, with nurses and bodyguards.

"Hello, Aquino."
