Just what is this place?;How did Kristen manage to find this?;These Sarcophagi...

What's wrong?;Is something...?

...Dr. {@nickname}.

Remember what I said. If you can, for the next while, call to mind your past with Rhodes Island.

Do not be rattled.

A violent light sweeps over your body. You feel a shred of familiarity impossible to process.

With no warning, out of all the things before you right now, you recall that scene. That scene you've never once forgotten, up to this day.

The Sarcophagus. A cold, frigid light.

Amiya grips your hand. You remember nothing. You're drawn into the maelstrom of Chernobog. It is the start of everything.

So much time has passed... but something, some sentiment even longer-lived than that fills the dense haze of your memories.

It stirs in you grief, and reminiscence, and discomfort... it is part of you, yet you reject it with all you can.

You strive to settle down your psyche. Faced with this quiet noise and dazzling darkness, this indescribable yet infinitesimally brief torment, your vision returns.

You narrowly avoid a gasp of surprise.

But this unknown structure has preempted you, and the sounds of resuscitation echo through the vast hall.

(Unknown language) ...Unfathomable.

(Unknown language) That after such... such lengths of time, I would lay eyes again... on a colleague... and an attendant.

(Unknown language) Truly... far too unfathomable...

Why can I understand... your language?

Who are you?!

(Unknown language) Who am I?

(Standard Columbian) Who am I?

Why would you use Terran language...? Are you not aware of my existence?

What happened to you? Answer me on that one's behalf, attendant. AMa-10.
