Birds

Last time I kinda had a breakdown.. Sorry about that. Alicia saw me crying and gave me a hug. I think I really needed that. I'm okay now. So I'll just forget last post happened and start the next one.

We've arrived in the general area where the nest is supposed to be. The document Scribe Delta gave us didn't point to a specific address. So we'll have to look around for them.

Last night, as we were driving, I asked Alicia what the plan is.

“We scout around for a few days. First we need to make sure our target is actually here. We should also get a bit familiar with the area. We'll figure out the rest once we find the nest. Hopefully they haven't been alerted yet. Also watch out for birds that act strangely.”

“Birds?”

“Birds. You'll understand when you see them.”

“Okay, I guess.” I’m not sure what she meant. I know Nests worship bird gods. Do they maybe have some sort of drones disguised as birds? Why wouldn't Alicia just tell me that instead of being so mysterious about it?

I also asked her about those “Fears” that came up in our conversation with Scribe Delta. Apparently it's a name used to describe all the various cult gods as a group. The way she talks about them makes it seem like they're real though. Does Alicia believe in them as well? Would that mean she's also in a cult? Is that why she's being so vague when talking about these things?

Should I still trust Alicia?

    Oh you don't... You don't know they're real? That's... Oh this is going to be interesting. Also you should probably make sure you have some fire based weaponry, like a flamethrower or something... I'm sure Alicia already thought of that though.

      You're one of the cultists so obviously you're going to say they're real. You can't expect me to believe something so absurd. I sure hope Alicia does not have a flamethrower.. That would be disturbing.

Mother

Somehow we did it. We saved my mother. As for Alicia, my mother recognized her symptoms and has managed to stabilize her. She's no longer in critical condition. She hasn't woken up yet though. Which makes me nervous. My mother told me she would wake up eventually. I'm afraid that's just her trying to comfort me. Speaking of my mother, I had a very long talk with her. I told her about everything that happened and she told me about what she went through. She also told me why she was kidnapped. It turns out that my mother does not work for doctors without borders. She lied about that but her real job is apparently not so different. She is a doctor, that wasn't a lie. She does travel a lot to treat people, that was true as well. However the people she treats are victims of the Fears. My mother has known about their existence since before I was born. With the experience she has gained over the decades she has become an expert on Eldritch diseases. So she mostly ...

Hello, old friend

The nest was still tied up and looking up at Scribe Delta. “So it is you. Wait, Sam, you're not with KRAKEN are you?” “No, old friend I'm not and my sources say that you aren't either anymore.” The nest let out a sigh of relief. “Thank fuck. Yeah, I got out.” “Wait, They’re not KRAKEN?!” I yelled out in surprise. Sam put up a hand at me. “Not now, I'm busy.” “Oh.. okay.” I stepped back and looked at Alicia. She shrugged. Sam turned his attention back to the nest. “So old friend, at what point did you realize being in KRAKEN might have been a bad idea?” “Around the time I saw another KRAKEN nest be eaten alive by the birds he had just released. Turns out the Bright Ones do not like KRAKEN. So when KRAKEN announced its presence a few months ago there were many nests who were up for a nasty surprise.” “Ouch. Yeah, that'll do it. Any idea why the birds don't like the octopus?” “If I had to guess they don't like the idea of us taking orders f...

Hella

Alicia summarized our situation to Hella. “This girl's mother got kidnapped by KRAKEN. “ She pointed at me as I cowered behind her. “She hasn't been targeted by a Fear so far. There's still a chance for her to get out of this life. I promised I would try to give her that chance. The only way that's happening is by saving her mother. Otherwise her father will remain in prison for a murder that didn't happen. Because her mother is probably still alive.” “What's that got to do with me?” Hella asked. “I was getting there., The information we got from certain sources says they're keeping her mother in a nearby base. However, I'm pretty sick these days. I can't fight my way into a KRAKEN base by myself in my current state. While Leaf over here, well you've seen her combat abilities.” “Yes, I've seen enough to be able to guess how far she'd get. So you want me to fight your battle for you. What's in it for me?” “You seem to...
