I walk to Storage to do get the fuel for the engines for one of my tasks, keeping a careful eye out for this 'Puppeteer' Sykkuno talked about a minute ago as I fuel the gasoline tank. I walk the more convenient way to Upper Engine, going past Reactor and Security, where I see Toast looking through the cameras. I get to Upper Engine and see Corpse walking out.
"Hey."
"Hey." I go to the engine and start fueling it. After it empties, I walk to the vent in the room, opening it and hopping inside. I see a dark figure in there. "Oh shoot-" I move to get out of the vents but they come running, and my vision blurs as I feel something in my hand. What the heck? I try to move, but I can't.
"I'm sorry... don't resist." A quiet and familiar voice says. I start to panic. Was this that Puppeteer Sykkuno talked about? I try to yell to alert someone, anyone, but it's barely audible.
"If you keep resisting I'm gonna have to hurt you more than I am supposed to.. please stop.." I hear the voice again. It almost sounded like they didn't want to do this, but that would be stupid. If they didn't want to do this, then why would they!? I try to yell again, and I hear a tiny sound of distress.
"I'm sorry... you brought this upon yourself Myth...." There's a sharp pain that seemed to come from everywhere all at once for a moment, making me feel like I was dying or something, before it stopped suddenly.
"I can do it again... please don't resist..... I'll have to do something now..." I hear the voice say. Whatever was in my right hand moved to my left hand, and I hear a gunshot. I grit my teeth, crouching as I drop the item, a pistol, and hold my left hand, which was bleeding from the gunshot.
"Ow ow ow ow, what the heck-" I say, getting out of the vent. I see Toast run in.
"Oh shoot." Toast says.
"Literally." I say back. I walk to Med Bay, which luckily was only a short distance, and grabbed an already out gauze and bandaged my left hand with it, grateful that I'm right-handed.
"That was the Puppeteer Sykkuno talked about I'm guessing?" I asks Toast, who had followed me.
"Yup." They leave, probably to check admin or something. I walk out after them, realizing I am already getting used to my hand hurting this bad. I guess I got good pain tolerance. I walk into Cafeteria, where Sykkuno still is. They glanced at my hand for a second.
"We really need to catch that Puppeteer."
"Tell me about it."
