It was dark and quiet here. Only the energy of the shield covering the mysterious structure on the planet flickered — seemingly chaotically. But at the same time, it seemed meaningful. Or maybe what was hidden behind it was meaningful, at least.

“Why am I here again?..”

This place was dangerous. And not even because of the constant presence of Xenos, Liberty and Bounty Hunters. Ultimately, all these groups were people.

He could fight people. He could hurt people. He could kill people.

But this? He didn't know what it was. Except that it seemed to constantly beckon him to fly closer. And the fact that it gave him a terrible headache.

“What are you?”

It didn't answer him. Meanwhile, his head continued to buzz with pain. It was as if it was being fed an endless stream of information that made no sense to him. Or, perhaps, on the contrary — was it actually his body sending some information?

He'd been here a couple of times before with Revenant. And yet he decided that he had to visit this place alone. If, of course, the concept of "alone" could still apply to him.

"we would strongly recommend leaving."

He almost suppressed a startled shudder. The voice he had already heard suddenly addressed him. Freud already knew that he belonged to the result of Ageira's experiment on him. It was the voice of those whose vessel he was to become according to the plans of the corporation.

“... Why? What is this thing?”

"we do not know. yet, being near it can result in unpredictable consequences. your mind is still too fragile for us to fully explore this place. at least by the method we can use from this distance."

The answer did not satisfy Freud. But he had nothing to object to. He knew he couldn't do anything about it now.

But he knew that he would return here again.
