- Transcript Start -

[██████] - I find it strange.... Very strange [Martyr-14], I just can't believe all of this is real.

[Martyr-14] - Yes, yes, I know my good friend... The end of the world....It isnt something that we could have predicted... It's been hard... hard on all of us... It's been hard... on us...

[██████]- You're still very so dull aren't you... I don't know what I ever saw in you... I'm not talking about the end of the world!

[██████] - The end of the world was to be expected, we were all going to die one way or another... Global warming, aliens, the rapture, solar flares.... we were all going to die one day, even a child could tell you that...

[██████] - What I find strange is the odd phenomenon of thousands of concrete bunkers suddenly appearing out of nowhere. Fully stocked and ready to use no less. Concrete bunkers that were built for a reason... [ Martyr-14 ] it seems that you and your people were expecting an apocalypse pretty soon... Nuclear warfare maybe ???

[ Martyr-14 ] - Kochanie.... I am bound by oath... You know this...

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

[ ██████ ] - Don't you Kochanie me. Not after all that has happened. You need to let go for your own sake.

[ Martyr-14 ] - No ! I tried, I tried, I really did try to keep you safe.... To keep you next to me. But you didn't listen kwiatuszku.... I should have done more.... I should have kept you safe... I could have kept you safe!

[ ██████ ] - Don't you dare blame yourself for what has happened. I am here because I chose to be here. You did what you could and kept those I cherish safe... Including yourself... down in those odd bunkers...

[██████] - I've seen those plans before. I think I've even worked on the design a few years ago. Independent contracting is quite the thing. I really never imagined that some of the stuff I was working on was part of some top-secret project, though I assume it was you who told them to reach out to me.

[██████] -I know you were the one who invested quite a lot in making sure humanity survives. You did more than most.

[ Martyr-14 ] - Don't do this to me. I am bound by oath. You know there are some things I cannot speak about. I did what I could.... I tried... But there was a limit to what I could have done...

[ ██████ ] - I already know you are an obedient dog to the state. Don't worry I figured that out long ago.

[ Martyr-14 ] - Don't do this to me! We can figure something else. You can come here. We can have doctors look over you. We are all worried for you. ███████ prays for you every night! ██████████ is wracked with guilt, ███████████████ just wants to see you! And I, I just want you to be safe.

[ ██████ ] - You know I can't do that. I've shown symptoms...I've been exposed.. The most you could do is lock me up in a cell and watch as I change.... into something else... I'd rather be up here, where I can do something productive... A place where I can finish my research.. A place where you don't have to watch me suffer.

[██████] -A place where I can enjoy the beauty of a flower garden..

[ Martyr-14 ] - Kochanie, but its not safe! We... No, I want you here ! Safe !!!

[ Martyr-14 ] - You're acting strange.... You've been forgetting things. You've actually taken up something other than a pen !!! You used to despise flowers for their unnecessary extravagance. Complain about how capitalistic they were....

[ Martyr-14 ] - You are suffering.... Come to us....

[ ██████ ] - ..... Don't speak to me like that. I never appreciated your lack of subtlety. That and your lack of taste in drapes...

[ Martyr-14 ] - But what about food! Have you been eating !! Are you getting thin !!!

[ ██████ ] - [Martyr-14] don't worry, we both I have enough milk tea to last me a decade and a half. You saw to that.

[ Martyr-14 ] - Yes, I did.... Yes, I did... But !

[ ██████ ] - No. No buts. I'm nice and well-fed for now. I've even started cultivating a small garden in case my reserves run out. The garden that you've been telling me off about. You don't need to worry, I can take care of myself.

[ Martyr-14 ] - I don't like you playing around with those... those things you call plants... they are no longer natural...

[ ██████ ] - That's a fallacy. Really tanks your argument. " Appeal to nature,". Just because something is natural doesn't mean it's good.

[ Martyr-14 ] - You're too smart for your own good kwiatuszku.

[ ██████ ] - And you're just a mangy mut. Stupidly loyal and over-dramatic...

[ Martyr-14 ] - Over-dramatic ? Me? Take a look at yourself. You cant go through a day in your life without drinking a cup of warm leaf water!

[ ██████ ] - And you can't go a day without letting the past go.
