Ah, good. I see you're still alive.
Barely.
What are you doing? Maddox did a number on your jaw. If it's cracked and it goes untreated, it'll get infected.
Ah shit.
It's not cracked, but it is badly bruised.
Fun.
You can talk, so that's something, but I need you to hold still. Broken nose. Just had to set it right.
Right.
Yeah. You're welcome.
Yeah. How's it looking out there?
It's getting worse.
Uh. Shit. You gonna tell me what you meant?
About what?
Don't play fucking stupid. End of your last visit, you said you could get me to bunker eight.
I did, and I meant it. But I wanna know why. You got everybody in the building wanting you dead and you're still trying to get back there. There must be something.
Oh, fuck. Inside Bunker hates this. There's something in there called the core. The core? It's uh It's hard to explain. It's at the center of Bunker 8. Deep. Below everything else. It's what made the bunker what it was.
It
moved me through time once, pulled me back to nineteen fifty two. Think I can do it again. You think yes. The bunker collapsed but the core didn't. And I know it's still active, I can feel it. I know that sounds insane, but I don't have a better word for it. It's just Sit in there. Waiting.
Doesn't sound insane. Sounds like you've been through something most people wouldn't survive. When it pulled you through Did the Corps give you a choice, or did it just take you?
What do you mean?
I mean things like that things with that kind of power. They usually operate on some kind of exchange. They don't just give. There's always a cost. Something they need from the person on the other end. So did it ask for something or did it just grab you?
W wait, w what? Most medics don't really ask questions like that.
I read a lot. This place has files on everything if you know where to look. Most people don't bother. I'm not most people.
Right. I uh I really don't know. Violet was wired into the whole thing by then. So when it reached for me, part of me wants to believe that it was her, that she did it on purpose. I just don't know if that's the truth or Or if it was something else entirely.
Violet?
Yeah, that was her name.
File it. What do you know? What was she like? She was
She was good. The thing is. Nobody told me about her. The whole brief in the handover, none of it mentioned her once, but Solo post, long rotation, just me. Then I'm barely through the door on day one and this voice comes through the comms. Relaxed. Like it was the most normal thing just asking if I was okay.
And they just left that out? Didn't think to mention it?
No. Get my guard up though. Gave her nothing. But she just kept showing up anyway. Every day, no agenda, not pushing for anything, just Just checking in. And I don't know when it changed, but at some point I started waiting for it.
She grew on you.
Yeah, she did. I thought she was just some girl doing her job, you know. Monitoring, support, or whatever Atlas had her doing. I had no idea what she actually was. What they'd done to her
and she'd been down in that chamber for sixty years by then.
