Chapter 2: Adam Awakes
Previous Chapter Next Chapter11/10/9027, 9:23PM, ADAM JENSENS CRYO POD
Adams Pod was now out of its last energy reserves. Adam slowly awoke, climbing out of the pod. Adam had forgotten that the only way a cryo pod would shut off was if it was out of energy…
He noticed his arms and legs were slow to respond, and then decided it was an effect of the pod. He observed his surroundings, only to see incredibly dense foliage. Adams first words to be said were “Pritchard, patch me through to Sarif! I’m definitely not in Hengsha!” – No response. “Pritchard!” Adam was once again rewarded with Silence. “Damn it, must be too far from any city.” Adam found some sticks, and attempted making a fire, to no avail. He searched around for awhile, and only ended up with a clod of grass & sticks to cover him up for the night, seeing as he had no other option but the freezing cryo pod.
11/11/9027, 10:11, EVERFREE FOREST, ADAMS CAMP
Adam awoke under his makeshift “bed,” if you could even call it that. Adam realized that the air smelled fresher… and that there was no air Traffic in sight. “Strange…” Adam thought to Himself. His Augments were strangely still operating slowly and not at full capacity. He had only one power cell left to power his Augmentations. Adam searched his cryo pod, barely remembering if he had brought anything. A box of Cyberboost ProEnergy bars, a Praxis kit, a 10MM Pistol with an AP Attachment, a Combat Rifle, and a .357 Revolver is what he found.
They were particularly tarnished and rusty. Adam stowed his weapons in his (somewhat large) Backpack. Adam was having trouble with his Augments once again, his arms wouldn’t respond for a whole minute this time
. He had a huge headache and the smell of cryo was deeply embedded in his lungs. Adam began to think of the possibilities that could have caused this… “Okay, my Augments could have gone faulty, I could’ve been in cryo too long, I could be being jammed by some Electromagnetic signal, or someone disabled me.” Adam began ruling out EMP’s, or being disabled, since he wasn’t even remotely close to any civilization as far as he could see. He had narrowed it down to Faulty augments and being in cryo too long, but as of now, that didn’t so much matter as finding someplace to stay.
Adam decided to consume his ProEnergy bars, and they were unreasonably hard and stale. “Good thing these things are packed with preservatives…” Adams Sarif series energy Converter changed his ProEnergy bars into Electricity for his Augments. His Augments still weren’t functioning correctly, though. “Something must have been damaged in the crash,” he said to himself.
Adam Checked his world map, the GPS Was out. “Strange… I’m beginning to think this wasn’t just a crash. Sarif would have Search and rescue out by now.” Adam began to starve. He had to eat something soon. Adam got up from his camp and began a hunt for meat, and he knew it was his only option now since he hadn’t packed any “real” food. Click. Adam loaded a 10MM magazine into his pistol. Adam didn’t like it, but he was going to be eating some raw meat from some unlucky Animal.
