Chapter 1: First Cave

"Ugh... Where... Where am I?" I sat up. "I don't remember anything. What's going on?" Getting up, I started to explore. Rather start moving then wondering. I found a passage that led to a big cave.

"Whoa, didn't expect this... Where exactly am I?" I started to go left, (In Quote's perspective, it'd be left, but right on the screen) but it was blocked off. I did see part of the wall where it didn't look stable, so I could try and break through it. Unfortunately, I don't have anything to help me, so I think I should try and head the other way.

The other way was a bit more promising, a path that descended, then over hanged and went the other way. There was a couple bats, a container that had some kind of capsule in it. "I felt a bit stronger after opening the capsule, maybe it was an upgrade?" Eventually the path led to another passage. The passage ended up leading to a house, or what looked like one. Not knowing who owned it, I headed inside.

I found someone, who was sawing logs (sleeping), a table and an anvil and a chest on the other side of the room. Interested, I went over and opened it. The guy didn't seem to hear me, and I ended up finding a gun inside. "I hope he doesn't mind if I borrow this..."

Obtained the *Polar Star*! It bears the mark of Polaris.

From somewhere, a transmission...

Searching for user "Sue"...

1 user "Sue" found.

"Sue! Please respond! They're looking for you...Are you asleep? Your brother's starting to worry about you..."

"Huh, there it is again... Who is that, and why am I hearing that? Well, let's go and try to break down the wall back there." With a gun in hands, the trip back wasn't too bad, being able to kill stuff made the trip more bearable. After a while, he came back to the blockade. "I wonder what those small chips do; I think they're important, so I saved all the ones that the critters dropped. Anyway, let's see if I can get through here or not." After firing the gun at some of the stuff that lived in the cave, he had some practice and was getting a liking to the gun. After firing it at the spot, the wall cleared and he was able to go past the wall.

Beyond the wall, were more critters and a door, which seemed odd to him. When he neared it, the door looked back at him creepily. Freaking out, he pointed the Polar Star at the door and opened fire. The door eventually broke and it led to a passage. After getting the chips that flew from the door, the pieces began to combine with the Polar Star. It then was bathed in a white light, and sparkled a bit. "What happened? I really don't know what happened, but I think I should find out later." When going through the passage the door was covering, there was some light and a hole in the floor, which our hero didn't notice. "Is it a dead end? Well, I think I'd better..." Not knowing the hole was there, he fell through it. "Plaaaaaaan!"
