Prevalence: Pt.1: Winston's Story
Date: 25 May 2004, 9:25 PM
Day 13: Planet 03170713R: Codenamed Prevalence.
How long had it been? One week? Two? Four? The cold. The cold numbed the senses, made it impossible to think. That sound.
It's back! Oh God, I can hear the screaming! It's like it's inside my mind. Sampson? McFarland? Travis? Are any of you there? Have the Covenant gotten to you? Or was it Them?
They had dissapeared three? No, four days ago. Ever since we opened that door, and those merciless, unthinking things had attacked Lee. They had started dissapearing one by one. First Lee, he was consumed. Then Sampson dissapeared the next day. Travis had been next, then McFarland.
Day 21
Who was I? I know I'm human, but I don't know who I am. The enemy. I know I have an enemy, the Covenenant I think. They landed here after we crashed. The crash. That's what killed the General. The General...
What is that feeling in my spine? Oh, another one of the calamari....it looks so hungry. But I'm hungrier, so try to break through all you want. My skin is so cold. Ha ha ha ha ha.
The sound is still there. The thing is out there. When I first saw it, it glowed so intensely. I tried to shoot it, but the bullets just distorted and went around it, like a defelctor shield. Was it a Covenant? I don't know what it is, but it wasn't Covenant.
So succulent.
Day 78
Dead.
All of them.
Dead.
I think I should make a run for it. But the Voice is saying that I shouldn't. What does it know. I've been here longer. I have this body, no matter what IT wants. I'm going to take the rifle and run for the door. The Thing that made the Sound wasn't there anymore.
It's gone! Good, I'll try to get to the dropship. Then I can get to some warmth.
Day 79
I'm almost there! I can see the ship! It looks undamaged. NO! What are you doing here?! You shouldn't be here General, you're dead! DEAD! DEAD!!!
Elites? No, not Elites...more of the Things. Feasting on the kalamari Things for the past day was the only thing keeping me alive.
What? Forerunner? Here? Thats what Bluey said about this place. Bluey...what was his real name? Tarsus, was it? Oh yes, Tarsus 666, I called him Bluey. He left me alone some time ago, said something about a flood.
General, you look positively green. And your arm is so wrong looking. Did you get your nails done? They're so LONG.
The Forerunner? You're after the Forerunner? Where are they? Bluey talked for DAYS about the Forerunner, how they got here, why they left. Some sort of plauge.
Oh, hey Bluey. What are those things? Sentinels? Forerunner gaurdians? Let's just leave here.
Day 81
You're...you're one of the Forerunner? The Reclaimer, eh? Here to stop the Flood? That gun. It doesn't look human, or Covenant. Well, when the General fragged the dropship, I decided I'd stay here awhile.
Got one of them guns for me?
Day 93
So, there's a Flood stronghold north of here? Gunna blow em up, eh? I think that with the modifications Bluey and his palls made, it'll kill em NICE and QUICK. Now then, let's burn this icey heck untill all those freaks are dead. I will pry the Things, okay, the FLOOD, from thier corpse, toss em away with a smile.
Day 111
The Flood got a ship? They'll get off the Freezer! We can't let that happen. I remember the warmth. The warmth of that blue and green world. Earth. You Forerunner guys used to live on Earth? Astounding. Well, Earth is MY home now. And I don't want the Things to get my Home. Right, right, the FLOOD.
Day 113
Tere will be no salvation for you. You have sinned. You had a chance to reconcile, but that chance is gone now. Repent. REPENT AND SUFFER!!! YOU WILL BURN IN THE FIREY TORRENTS OF SATAN'S DOMAIN FOR YOUR SINS!
Boom, baby...
Day 114
That's it then. They're all dead. Not one left standing. Except for the General. The General. We need to kill HIM too? Aw, man. I was really hoping to get a promotion first. Oh yeah, there is not Corps anymore. Seeing as how I'm light years away from any HUMAN life. Just Bluey, his pals, and the Flood. And of course, you, Reclaimer. And those dead Covenant.
Day 121
Me?
A Flood?
Ha ha ha ha ha...
So you're saying that when we attacked the General, I got infected?
That's a good one, Bluey.
Ha ha ha ha ha...
Hey Reclaimer, stop pointing that thing at me, okay...
