Time: 0100 hours

When I awoke, It was dark. I stood up from my spot in my cave, but immediately fell back down. Something was off. I felt weak. My body couldn't even hold up the weight of m own armor without extreme struggle. I chalked it up to just a lack of good nutrition lately and tried again to leave. Using the wall as a brace, I slowly made my way to the exit of the cave, struggling all the way. When I reached the exit, I turned around for some reason, I couldn't leave. It's not like anything was holding me back, it's just that my body wouldn't let me leave. As I was deciding to turn back and explore the cave, I saw a familiar red light. The light of a Vex Goblin's eye. I reached for my rifle, but it wasn't there. I began to panic, thinking of all of my options. I had no rifle with me, so I couldn't shoot it, and in my weakened state, I wouldn't be able to run or use my knife effectively. My only option was to hide. I turned off all lights on my armor and dropped, hoping it wouldn't see my grey armor on the dark floor. It worked for a while, and then things went horribly wrong. It started walking towards me, and then stopped, like it lost me. I was beginning to think I was safe, when it turned to me and stared me strait in the face, It's red eye unwavering.

I was going to die right here, and no one would know.
