Introduction
Just so you guys know I made this WAAAAAY before DS2 had a lot of information announced so this is only coincidence if anything is similar to the actual game. All I knew at the time was that the main character was Isaac and it was on the colony, the Sprawl. Anyways enjoy me putting Isaac through another story of hell.
A soldier from the Sprawl saw a familiar sight. "Sir, we have another ship coming in". Commander Williams looked at the monitor and read the name of the ship. "Is that a ship from Aegis 7? Try to contact them". The soldier quickly hailed the ship. "Attention unidentified spacecraft, this is the space station Sprawl, please respond". Not a sound came from the intercom. "See if you can get a visual from the inside of the shuttle." A screen immediately popped up and showed everyone the inside. There was a man laying on the floor. He was wearing a banged up engineering suit covered in blood. This mans name was Isaac Clarke and he had just escaped form a living hell. He was quietly singing to himself.
Commander Williams jumped up in his seat and began barking orders all around the room. "Get that poor bastard out of there and into medical"! The crew brought the ship in and sent out an extraction team to help Isaac. That was 1 year ago, and things haven't gotten any better for Isaac.
Isaac was considered insane by the doctors and was placed in solitary confinement. He was assigned several therapists but he had refused to interact with any of them. A year passed and finally the doctors only had one other person he could talk to, so they sent her in.
"Isaac Clarke?" the woman asked. "Do whatever you want but I'm not going to talk about it." he replied scornfully. "I just need to say a few things". Isaac looked up for long enough to notice that she was trying to unplug the security camera. "What the hell are you doing"? "Making sure they can't hear us". Isaac was confused and didn't want to think about what would happen next. She sat down close to him and began to speak in the most calming voice she could. "I know exactly what you're going through Isaac". Isaac was stunned. "You have no idea how may times I've heard that shit. You're no different from the rest". "Yes I am! I know all about the colony, the Ishimura, the marker, and those things. I even know about Nicole". For the first time in the past year, Isaac truthfully had nothing to say. "How did you know"? "You're not the only one that was on that ship. I was headed here after me and my friends escaped, but they didn't make it. One of them turned into a necromorph on the ship and killed everyone except me". "Who are you?" Isaac asked. "My name is Lexine Murdoch".
Somewhere else in the psychiatric ward, another woman was under guard inside her cell. Ever since she was put in there she never stopped singing this one familiar song. "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky. When the blazing sun is gone, When there nothing shines upon…". "Damn it lady will you stop singing that fucking song"! Another man entered at that moment. "Its fine Phil, you can go take a break." the man said to the guard. "Thank you sir. What the hell is wrong with her?" the guard replied relieved. The man smirked "Just a simple case of insanity. Nothing I cant handle. Just let me with her for awhile". "Yes sir!" he said as he walked out the room. Only seconds later there was screaming from outside the door. The man laughed and walked into the woman's cell. "Now my sweet, its time for you to help me again". As she looked up at him, her face turned pale, for she distinctly remembered this man. He was supposed to be dead.
Well I think I'm going to leave you guys here to build up the tension. What is in store for our hero Isaac Clarke? Who is this mystery man and woman? Find out in the next chapter, Sprawl.
