mindcracklovePart 2, here we go. I never saw this coming, to be completely honest.
PAUSE!
Your battle cry still rings. You glance around, expecting clouds and rainbows and the serendipitous scenery of a heaven far away. Instead, you still in the basement, protectively huddled over your body, as if your thoughts alone could stop a hypothetical weapon.
Look, one of your Mindcracker brethren has a shadow much like your new existence. Hunchbacked and protecting its physical anchor. Your head tilts in wonder. The ghost you thought you saw looks over its nonexistent shoulder, revealing warpaint and feathers.
Your heart rises at the sight of the Indian’s familiar face. He scowls, deep in thought. “It had to be you to wake up,” Pause mutters. His nearly invisible form floats over to the sleeping engineer. “Vechs is the lightest sleeper I’ve ever met, yet he’s been at it the longest and still going strong.”
You stand and rub the back of your neck. “What even happened? Last I remember we were… We were at,” You struggle to pull those last memories to the forefront. “Pax? Is that it? Pax East?”
Pause nods somberly. “As far I can tell, that was the last thing that happened, and was possibly the catalyst to whatever happened to get us here.” He began pacing, rotating and fitting pieces of the puzzle. “Something at the CrackHouse lead to our incarceration of the entire group, not just those who were there.”
You join in. “Forget about that part,” Pause started to butt back in, but you wave him off. “Forget the part about everyone not being there. How do you capture one person, put them to sleep, and have it so that if they wake up, separate there mind from their body?”
Pause’s eyes and feel immediately fell. “You may think that’s what happened. I hate to tell you this, but look at yourself.” Your eyes go down the wavering, undetectable body below. “Not that, your physical body.”
“If your mind was simply disconnected, you’d still be breathing.”
I'll probably do part 3 tomorrow or something, but no promises
