NO MAN’S SKYDB
Warriors dialogue
The terminal flashes an urgent warning. Some vital part of the facility has been compromised by the security alert.
Intruder alert! Battle enzyme production halted! Electrical charge removed from body harvest circuit!
The display takes me aback. A warrior's heart is on-screen, its beat irregular. Connected to wires and artificial valves, it seems to pump a biological liquid through organs deep within the facility.
I increase the power flow to the facility's heart. It judders, then establishes a regular beat. Its strange existence continues. With this emergency over, the terminal reverts to a standard factory input system.
Some requirements or outcomes are not yet mapped.
I initiate a surge of adrenalin directly into the facility's heart. It judders, tenses, tenses again... and with a final convulsion, falls still. The terminal screen cuts out. There is nothing to see but an inky blackness.
I power down the facility in an attempt to ease the strain on its heart. But as systems shut down, the heart begins to slow. Before I can reverse the process, it beats its last. The mass of organs that relied on its processes are starved of oxygen, and die. The terminal screen cuts out. There is nothing to see but an inky blackness.
