Chapter 2 - Explore!

I sat on the impossibly large bed, trying to get my thoughts in line. If I think of those detective games , how did they do it? Right , attempting a thinking and mysterious ( as a certain young detective who's name starts with C) .. hmm … this is what I know:

- I woke up here at approximately 0750 .

- this body belongs to a male, from the face on the mirror it looks like someone in their late teens or early twenties.

- I can somehow understand this language, think in it and read it but I have no idea what language this is.

- there is a door to this room that I haven't opened yet, likely leads to the outside of this room

- there is a mysterious'symbol' that looks like lines crisscrossed in the back of left wrist.

- I have seen a few flying Saucers outside the window, but it looks like no one can see me from outside.

Aaaaah! This is idiotic. I clearly have enough knowledge in this head to identify items, references and size but why is everything else blank! Is this a beginner bullying project? Even hard core games aren't as bad as this.

Since I have no other options, I jumped off the bed and decided to get out of this room. I stood on the inside of the door , slowly approaching the door knob , it was so chilly I flinched. Is there a kidnapper on the other side? Or worse a horror event? . I took a deep breath, well I have to do it, this body is on the verge of spilling, I need the bathroom. If the other side has a cosmic horror entity that will eat me at least it will be 'flavourful' .

Ok , 1 .. 2… 3 .. and Go. I yanked open the door .

This is really embarrassing!!

There is no one outside!!

What has all my preparation been for? Give me back my tension!

Oh no… bathroom, quickly

there was a door right next to the room which luckily was the bathroom, I didn't end up spilling after all! One should take winnings when they can.

Hoooo.. now that has settled, I had a tour around this place , which seems to be a penthouse. 2 floors. The second one, where I spawned, had that room and then 2 other rooms which looked like a walk in closet, storage and then that bathroom.

The 1st floor had a big piano, with a pretentious looking massive white L shaped sofa, an open plan kitchen with a huge wine cellar. You can tell who ever lived here didn't ' live ' here. It feels empty, the kitchen has nothing but alcohol, not even a spoon.

The result of this hour long exploration?

Get ready…

Ho ho ho ..

INTERNET .. oh how long have I missed this !!

Eh.. missed? How?

Never mind , anyway, during my less than stellar run to the bathroom I accidentally bumped my hand, which then *fooo** materialised a blue screen. It looks like that weird symbol was the way to open the computer.

After some digging, it seems like all info on this 'device' if you can call it that, had been erased . So not much new info there.

I did find some cards attached to the auto payment system, as well as 2 bank apps that require some authentication so I haven't opened them

I spent the following hours digging in the internet, it looks like this is a planet called Eish, planet number 357 in the human federation registry. Humans , as well as most other space dwelling species have made an Alliance 20 yrs ago, since then it has been quite peaceful in most of the federation planets. I can't find what exactly was included in that treaty, but since then space dwelling species had been allowed entry to human controlled land and vice versa.

Human history dictates their home planet was lost due to unknown entities about 700 yrs ago, since then they had multiple attempts to reclaim it but to no avail. Now that entire galaxy is off limits, with *shoot on sight* orders if you sneak in. I found quite a few creepy pasta about that.

Humans now have abilities, and top human fighters can fight in space with no gear, as few netizens speculate. There is a mandatory test done at age 19 to scan for abilities, if detected then entry to an ability focused program is mandatory. If not then you are one of the masses, and will forever be looked down on , in other words you get a fixed job, no possibility of promotion or ever ' making it' . That's what's called cannon fodder in netizens words.

Ithis had me thinking, was those eyes an ability? If not then what could it be ? And if it is what spooky ability is that?

Aaaaaaah .. I slumped back into the sofa . New info just makes everything even weirder . What do I do with all this. Haaa..

.

Growl

Well! Looks like my stomach made the choice for me , ha ha

I downloaded a little bear with black and white color that also delivers food.

Surprisingly I found a lot of choices; Zerg meat with pecan sauce, pizura belly with sweet and sour dip, flying mariou with extra hot lava dressing.

Looking at those pictures almost made lose my appetite. I found normal looking chicken tenders in there, which ended up saving both my eyes and sanity.

Chickens .. I knew humans can never survive without you .. thank you for your noble sacrifice.
