Chapter 1: Premonition
February 11, 2097. Thursday
Hello, my name's Ryan . . . Ryan Mathers. I just woke up from the weirdest freaking dream I ever had. I decided to archive it in one of my memory logs and well, uh, here it is.
I stared out at the blank, yet dark road. Road? Am I . . . am I on Earth? I looked around wearily, trying to pinpoint where I was. A city. Definitely a city, movement caught my peripheral vision. A blonde woman beckoned to me. Was she there before? I . . . I couldn't tell.
I didn't like the look she gave me, it was a smile, but all screwed up. It didn't look right. Who the hell was this woman? As if reading my mind she stopped smiling, and beckoned me once more before turning around to walk down the street. Shit, I thought if this was some kind of dream, it seemed all too real. I decided that with nothing to lose I should just follow this woman.
As we walked down what seemed to be an endless street I took more time to study my surroundings. The buildings loomed over us menacingly. It was dark. Everything dark, the sky was a dark orange-red. It seemed like fire. But that wasn't the strange part. The black clouds, they moved so fast. Like someone hit the fast forward button. Imagine a glowing red liquid in a glass, now pour a little of black paint and stir. It was all too impossible to be real. Yet it was. My eyes shifted to the woman. Her hair was cut short, but not too short. She wore standard USG Ishimura attire. She was my height, but obviously older.
She stopped abruptly; it caught me by surprise so that I almost crashed into her, almost. Something told me it wouldn't be a good idea to do that. "Come." I gasped. It was a simple word and it was the first thing she said since I arrived. It was more like a whisper the way she said it. It filled my head, like a toxin filing my veins, sounding as if it was coming from everywhere. She turned around at stared at me expectantly. I didn't know what to do. I was confused. So I looked over her shoulder.
That's when I noticed what was in front of us. A pit, filled with steaming hot lava. But what was in the lava was the most disturbing thing of all. A tree. But it was, covered in bodies. The people I loved, my friends and family. Dead and rotting, I threw up onto the ground I was standing on. The stench. It was horrible. Then I noticed another body; it was the woman's! Her body was limply hanging on the tree; her limbs were tangled with other limbs. Her mouth was bleeding, as if someone has punched her mouth. She started laughing hysterically. Then she suddenly stopped. She leaned toward me from the tree, and whispered, Isaac. - End of Memory Log-
Isaac stared at the memory log as the robotic woman, stated the memory log was over. He knew the kid's voice couldn't be right. Did he say she said Isaac? Well fuck me, Isaac thought. He slumped into the old, bloodied and broken seat by the train car, mulling over the whole memory log. Maybe the audio sensor on his helmet was busted. She didn't say Isaac. No, there's no way she did. But he did know one thing. The woman that haunted the kid's dream. It was Nicole.
