Robinson's Requiem

by Cyberdud

Part 7

Another huge update! When we left our hero, he was drugging it up at a lake, fishing some fishes for food:

I have a headache, that drug is no good…I feel like shit

I head back towards the wreckage of our ship…that arch, there must be a way to get there

There is a part of the mountain that's scaleable, so I climb up, reach the arch and cross it.

Oh shit, another tiger. I take my bow and a few arrows…

I take aim, why am I shaking? The arrow flies and hit the tiger, it's pissed. Another arrow puts it down for good

That'll teach you to question man's authority over nature!

Another cave…I light a torch and step insi-

o-o-o-oh f-f-f-fu-fuck THAT! -20 celcius/-4 fahrenheit, I quickly dance out of the cave. There is no way I'm going in there without some warmer clothes, I look in my bag, I don't have enough skins to make me a coat…

Defeated, I go back down the mountain and back to my camp at the lake. I don't feel so good, I lay down and take a nap

Dear Trepliev, I'm glad to find you there. Asleep, but accessible, I can give you some information you need in your quest.

I've "Sensed" Schopenhauer26 and Pavlov95 talking in a vast clearing. They didn't seem to agree…I'm all yours, kisses…
What does that mean…they were fighting?

Whatever I have, its getting worse, I have a fever…I'm in no shape to go anywhere, I spent a day or two sleeping, drinking a lot of water and staying huddled up in that cavern near the lake. Nina came to me again in another dream…

Hey, Trepliev. I wonder if we're going to spend the rest of our lives here… Fate is so weird…I don,t know what to think of all these mysteries…
Well I'm glad your being all philosophical Nina, while I'm dying of whatever disease in a dank cavern.

I've contacted Epicurus. He's O.K. He's made friends with the natives. It's a good thing, friendship between nations. Bye Bye Trepliev…
I knew that already…Thanks for invading my quiet time. I wake up and feel good enough to set out again.

Well, I'm back at camp after being out for a day gathering some resources I needed. Here is what I did: I went back in the mutant cavern…killing a few more of these monsters.

Went back down to the swamp…

Killed a few more of these scaley monsters, gathered their hides

And here I am, with a full suit of scales, I heard they are at least a bit better then my Robinson-issued uniform. I also made myself a cool little leaf hat. Moving around took my head off the pain…

Now I'm better equipped to take on that really cold cavern at the top of the mountain

I suit up with whatever I could make with the skins I had, I look like an intergalactic couch potatoe in my scale overalls with fur boots…but whatever works. I light my torch and go in

f-f-f-f-fuck y-you ca-cavern, it-its still COLD…but more manageable. If I keep my torch closer to me I'll catch on fire, fuck.

T-this cavern i-is hu-huge! Achoo! I'm a little awe awe-struck by those formations in the ceil-ceiling of the cave-cavern.

Oh you gotta be kidding me, I take out my knife and keep that flying…uh…thing in my sight

OH FUCK MY EYE, YOU FUCKING PLUCKED MY EYE, AAAAAAARG (Cyberdud's note: yes, these things too can pluck out your eyes easily, they blinded me a few times by taking out both my eyes…so now lets back up a bit)

I strike it in mind air and it falls limp on the ground*cough*

I remember my sesame showing me another robinson life sign in the cavern, so I head towards the signal, killing a few more of those*cough cough* flying things that were in my way.

I recognise the uniform, but I can't see who it is, its too dark. So I step closer, calling out to him.

Its Diogenes48! What are you doing in such a freaking cold place? What's with the shit eating gri-

Why is everybody trying to kill me?


I can't do this anymore, I don't want to do this anymore, I'm sick of it

Was I that annoying? Was I that despicable? I guess man's true self comes out under such extreme conditions…

Never could stand your ugly face
I hope for your sake we never meet
Again in this universe.
Diogenes48

He always caused me trouble, but I never thought one day he'd try to kill me. Well I guess we did meet again, and my ugly face stabbed you…

I find another knife, his sesame computer, a battery for said computer, a razor and a video game. The video game "Robinson's requiem II" doesn't work anymore, sadly…

Thank god I found an exit, I'm burning up and freezing to death…my cold is so much worse now…

Ahhh….its not cold anymo- its freaking hot… I strip down to my underwear and put on my leaf hat…I feel like utter shit, that cavern really fucked me over…

My Sesame is warning me that my flu is critical.

Damn, I have to fight off the urge to dress up in the heat, as the fever is making me feel so cold...

No wonder…Sesame is saying I have a dangerous fever: 40c/104f. I gotta keep moving, my brain is gonna probably boil while I freeze to death. I drink some water, it helps a little…

I find this strange creature sleeping…it looks like a bull…with fur…fur…I take my bow and some arrows…

*stomp**stomp**STOMP**STOMP* OH SHIT IT SAW ME AAAAAAAA-

*punt*

Ooooh….how long was I out? I can't hear anything…Oh god my ARM ! IT BROKE MY ARM(Cyberdud's note: don't mess with those Bulls, let them nap, make some arrows and plink them from afar, otherwise they punt you 10 yards, break a random limb and make you go deaf for a bit…now lets back up a bit)

I fire a few arrows at it and it falls down, dead. More fur! More meat!

Another one falls to my arrows…this one has a previous wound that seems to be a few days old…

Oh god, these are human remains in the distance!*stomp**stomp*

*($&(*$&, god that was close…even more fur…

Human remains still wearing a tattered Robinson issued uniform…

I find a Sesame computer next to the remains…its Pythagoras32…his arms and legs are broken and it seems the flesh has been ripped from his bones…

Pythagoras32 was older then most of us, He used to be a math teacher before he enrolled in the AWE program. I guess that's why they called him Pythagoras32 after the famous mathematician/philosopher…He tought us a few things that were useful in our missions, I'm sad to see him become cow pasture…

My Sesame catches a live signal…There is somebody else alive here! I make my way to the signal, dodging a bull in the process.

He's alive alright…its Nietsche26, we all know him as the guy who explored this planet before us for a mission and wrote an article that appeared in our white booklet.

He was a good friend even though he's a little bit sore that even though he wrote that article, I'm the one that won the Robinson's prize of Excellence for my intake…

He seems happy to see me
Welcome, friend. Do you remember me? …Nietsche26, your co-graduate! I know this planet well, I studied it during my graduation Mission. I know where the droid HQ is…
Droid HQ?

…I know a way to get into it, if you give me all of our promotion's Sesames, I could put them all on the droid computer…

That will deactivate all the security systems on the planet. We could leave with our dear Nina, whom you must know I suppose…I'm counting on you, friend!
Ha…you can keep the bipolar cunt thank you…So there is a way off this planet after all…

After telling me I look like hell, Nietsche26 walks off after offering me a few of his pumpkins, I gladly take one…as those things are very heavy, but choke full of water, so it could save my life to carry one with me.

I see a few huts in the mountains, so I find a way to get there…I see a lake! It's a village… Thank god I was getting thirsty

I made camp inside the village, lets just say the locals did not take kindly to my intrusion…so I had to defend myself

There was a lot of them

There was no reasoning with them and their spears…

The fight lasted a long time…I'm totally exhausted…my flu is a little bit better, but I'm still burning up…I'll have to make a stop here and rest, try to get better…I hope I survive the night…

Things are getting hectic pretty quick, Tripliev1 has a very bad flu and malaria, The only way off the planet is to find all the Sesame computers, including his own and put them in the droid HQ's master computer to deactivate the force field… Nietsche26 knows where it is, but he's not telling…What awaits our hero, if he even survives the night? Am I the only one that think a guy murdering a village in his underwear and cute leaf hat with a knife, while he has a very bad flu and malaria, to be a little…hilarious?
