Chell's Afterlife – 2

"That was the worst night of my life," I say aloud, still alone. Right now it's morning, and I just spent the night sleeping in an indent in a cliff wall. Most people would call it a cave, but I think it has to go into the cliff at least 31' before it can be considered a cave. But as I said, I slept in a cliff indent. I set up the turret to keep me save while I slept, and those things are surprisingly peaceful when they aren't aimed at you. And even though it took about an hour and a half to set the thing up, half of that being in the dark I might add, it was worth it, as right now I have breakfast.

Turns out Aperture can give you a serum to avoid death by gun, AND slow down the need to use the bathroom, yet they can't figure out how to keep you from needing food. And it's good luck today, I get to eat moose. Actually I've been having mostly good luck since I was kicked out by Glados yesterday afternoon, despite sleeping on the ground. First I got Cameron back, then I found a turret, and most importantly Ash, after that I got out of the wheat field and entered a grass field, this is where I found the cliff where I am now.

All that aside, I need to figure out how I'm going to start a fire. I don't have flint and steel, or a lighter, or even those two types of rocks they use in some movies, how the heck do I cook moose without a fire? I sit on the edge of my cliff with my feet dangling, I'm about 30, maybe 35' off the ground when my stomach growls.
"Shut up," I tell my stomach, "I know you're hungry, so am I, but no matter how hungry we get, I'm not going to eat raw animal." I bet no other escapee has to deal with crap like this…

"I swear to you, she's escaped, I wouldn't make this up!" a shorter man says, frustrated with his partner. The two stand in front of a familiar looking shed.
"Fine, let's say for a second that you ARE telling the truth, where is she?" the other one states, equally as frustrated. "Obviously she isn't here, would did she go?"
The first looks over a technological device, that looks similar to a map, it's images change as he moves it around, facing it to the ground.
"According to the Yerner she's escaped the facility altogether."

Well I can't get anything done by sitting around, maybe I can get a better view from the top of this cliff, I'm sure that path leads to the top. The path I'm referring to is the same path that leads from the ground to the indent I slept in, I walked up the path to get where I am. However, the path also continues up the side of this cliff, so if I follow it I'll get a better view of the area.

It didn't take long to reach the top, maybe 2 or so minutes, so now that I'm up here I can look over the landscape. There's nothing at the top of the cliff except more wheat, so I ignore it and look down. To my left is nothing but wheat, to my right I- I see smoke. That means fire, which COULD mean either lightning struck, and in that direction there's fire, or there's a human settlement of some kind. The first one makes more sense though, so I pick that one.

Jumping down from my lookout point I land just beside the turret.
"Sentry mode activated," The turret says. My eyes grow wide as I move out of it's sights almost instantly.
"Target lost. Are you still there?"
"NO!" I answer, scared almost half to death. I already have my reflexes set to their cute little voices.
"Naptime…"

After deactivating the turret I dismantle and unfold the box it came in.
"This will make a good flat surface," I say, I then tie the rope to two corners of the same side of the flat box and lie it down on the ground. I then walk down the path with Cameron and the turret in tow.

Upon reaching the bottom I stand the turret up on the flat box and reactive it.
"Hello." I aim the turret so it faces behind me for when I pull the rope, I then begin my journey for the smoke.
"Shutting down."

-

The two walk through a wheat field bickering, the shorter man looks at the other.
"Yeah, and so what if we 'get busy', it doesn't matter, the suppression field is still active." The other one puts both her hands on her face in annoyance.
"I keep telling you that it's been offline for months now, Gordon Freeman destroyed it just before travelling north with that woman, what's her name again?"
The first one looks at another technological device, this one is handheld though and looks like a miniature metal detector with a screen attached to it.
"We'll discuss them later, first we have to find her, and my H.E.M. says she went that direction for about 8 hours. Start up the APC, we'll meet up with her before she wakes up."

So I was wrong, turns out the smoke WAS coming from a human settlement, I mean town. WOW, I've spent FAR too much time surrounded by robots; I'm starting to talk like them…

The smoke itself is coming from a destroyed building; it looks as though this place was recently attacked. This place is abandoned too, how long ago was their people here? Also, the question of just how long I was in stasis comes back up since, what if people have evolved while I was asleep? That can't be good, maybe humans are cannibals now, or…or maybe even have new abilities. Glados did mention that my bone structure is bad, I'm sure that's just her being a bitch, but what if it meant something? As if people can-
"There you are." The turret says, THAAAAaaat can't be good…

I hear footsteps just before I hear shooting…
