Ce qui se passe pour moi?
Things are…changing. I decided to write it down so that maybe, just maybe this will all make sense. I'm not talking about the Missions. I started doing those a few months before things….became bizarre
It started a couple of months ago. I was out with some of the members of my unit. We where there having a drink when an Américain Cajun started causing a fuss. I addressed him and he gave me an ofter. Go on this mission and he would give me information as to who I am. Perhaps I shouldn't have been so hasty. I should have realized there would be an attraper, but to know who I am? To know where I was born, or to know who my parents were? I agreed. After I completed the mission, I saw this strange Cajun again smoking on his Chesterfield cigarettes.
We went to a quiet room. I thought it was to talk, I was wrong. He moved quickly and shoved a spike into my chest and into my heart. Blood poured from my chest all over his hand, He looked me in the face and twisted the spike and there was a click. As I watched him with a horrid fascination, he pulled and put the spike on the table near me. He then turned and walked away, the whole time puffing on a cigarette. I'm a medic, I know I should have died. I didn't and now my heart doesn't beat.
I have no heart beat, no pulse and yet I'm still alive. Comment est-ce possible? My questions have gone from “Who am I?” to “What am I?”. Now I'm terrified to go to a docteur. The questions they would ask, that I couldn't answer, the probes, tests, the possibility of becoming a guinea pig, it scares me. It was a month later that I realized I also didn't need to breath.
And then there was this Mission.
I was invited to dine in Maine in the Les Etats-Unis. In return I would receive more information on my background. I flew to Maine and rented a room at the local Holiday Inn. I met with Alfons and the young women, who I met after she climbed up the statue of Jeanne d'Arc, named Jade. I also met two new people. One is a very scholarly gentilhomme named Raslow and the other was a very quite lady named Tilly. I decided to go and scout out the location of the house we were to have dinner at. I as barely over the wall when my frelons started to pick up sensors and cameras. The whole yard was covered in a very sophistiqué security system.
We went to the house in question, the doors where wide open and you could smell roast pig coming from the house. I cautiously entered and started rapide the hallways and dinning area. I warned everyone that the house was probably trapped. On the table was a note telling us that we would get what we wanted only if we survived the night. Survivre à la nuit?
The house was trapped and none of them were plaisaint. Le Professeur became stuck in the bathroom. Then the quiet lady became locked into a room on one side of the bathroom, while Jade became locked in a room on the other side of the bathroom. The rooms started to fill with mustard gas and Le Professeur found C-4 in the tank of the toilet. Le Professeur's book smarts came in handy when he took some C-4 and put it on the bars locking him in the bathroom. Since they had electricity running through them, the C-4 distroyed enough of the bars to let him out. We then did the same to the other set of bars to release the other two.
In my search of the place I found a filing cabinet up in the attic. As soon as I walked across a narrow beam to get to it, lighting started zipping across the path back to the door. I decided to punched a hole in the floor, dropped a rope down and slide down. I swung on to the chandelier and then with a second rope slide to the floor.
After sending my frelons into the air-ducts, we where able to establish where the secret door was that led to the basement. Le Professeur was able to unlock the door and we went below to find ourselves in a medical lab. While everyone else was looking over the tools and vials, I found a skull with my name on it and the word 'vérité'. I wrapped up the skull with great care and put it in my backpack, the others were looking for a way to go father down. Tilly found it easily and down we all went. Le Professeur found a switch that he must have thought would help us because he pulled it. A row of HUGE generators started to roar to life. We all started to move quickly to get out of the house. I was the last one in line making sure that everyone was out first.
I heard the whine and then silence… A bright flash of light engulfed me. There was a roar of noise and everything on me and around me burned in a split second.
Then silence.
Ce qui s'est passé?
I felt the heat, the burning and the coolness that followed. I opened my eyes to see that I was on the side of a crater. The house was gone. Along with my clothes. I looked up and saw Alfons slowly getting up. I slowly climb up the side a few feet and grabbed his ankle. He looked shocked to see me, but he recovered quickly. He helped me up and put a coat around me. I looked back at the crater. I shouldn't have survived. There is no way I should be alive. There are no burns or bruises on me, no sign that I was in any kind of explosion.
