[0001]: Still Alive [Video]

[redacted_error]

[There is a series of pops and crackles from the feed, only temporary as the video flickers online. At first, there is a bright orange glow and the soft hum of some other device, however, the communicator device is jostled about a moment before resting on the face of a rather battered looking young woman. You would be too if you didn't realize a certain AI had booby-trapped a certain Stalemate Resolution Button. Her lips are pursed in a straight line as she turns the device about in her hand, her brows slightly knit in confusion.

This device is archaic in her standards--old Aperture archaic.

She looks up from the camera to examine her surroundings before speaking, hesitant, her voice not more than a hoarse whisper.]

H-hello?

[A pause as she looks up again. Maybe a noise caught her attention. She waits before looking into the camera again.]

Where this place?

[Red suddenly blots the video, followed by a somewhat annoyed grunt. Blood from a head injury, apparently. Both audio and video are cut off.]

I dunno if you realise it, but you're bleeding.

[ She still frowns, but also does a tiny shrug as she bites off some beef jerky. ]

Might want to get that looked at.

[Chell raises a hand to her forehead and is not surprised to find the skin between her hairline and temple wet. Somewhat annoyed, though, but the expression is nothing more than a downwards turn of her mouth. Damn bombs.]

Yes, it appears I am.

[Get it looked at?] Where would I go?

[ ... Oh, so she doesn't care much. Well, Kyouko just gives a little shrug in response to that. ]

Are you still where you arrived?

[A corner of the feed shows a patch of blue sky. And green.]

At the moment, yes. [Pause.] Someone is coming, I believe. [The boy she talked to momentarily, perhaps.]

Well, that's good, I guess.. I'm pretty sure they'll take you to the village.

's not like it's difficult to find it, either way.
