- KRONII'S RAMBLINGS, TAPE 8 -

- DESCRIPTION -

RECIEVED FROM FRANCO THE HUNTER

A recording of a traveller named "Kronii" who was accidentally transmitting her story on radio with a faulty W-COM. Whirlwind camp's radio team managed to record some parts of her story.
A legendary figure in the wasteland, she claims to be able to "fix everything" with her "time powers".
Some say she's gone mad from grief, while others believe she is speaking the truth.
People who claimed to have met her stated that she's "as sane as one can be in this frozen hellhole" and that she is someone not to be reckoned with, reacting with lightning speed reflexes and never missing a shot.
They also say she was as beautiful as a goddess.

"-oodnight Kronii."
He then gave me a quick peck on the forehead.
I was too sleepy to care and simply turned to my side, trying to hide my smile.
...

It was a...few months since I met him, and a few days since he asked me for...
...
For my hand in marriage.
I said yes of course, or else this wouldn't be here. He really did caught me off guard with it.
Heh.
...

Everything was so simple back then.
A silver ring with Sapphire, said it reminded him of me.
I wonder how long these things last.

(Sobbing can be heard)

I-I should've paid more attention.
If I saw the signs, maybe this could've been avoided.
And the-then he wouldn't have to-
...

(She takes a moment to compose herself)

When I woke up, everything was grey.
I could see the sky.
Our house...gone.
I tried looking around for him, of course.
He was nowhere to be found.
...

I still don't really understand how I lived.
I had my powers, yes, but it doesn't mean I wasn't human.
Was I...dead? Or am I not human anymore?
Doesn't matter.
I need to get out of here.
Radiation is still affecting me, and I can't fully use my powers here.

(The crack of a branch is heard)

I miss him.
I miss him so much.
But I still can't remember him.
This is why I'm recording these, to remember.
Maybe I'll remember if I keep moving.

(Gunshots, 3 thumps)

Fucking raiders...

(The transmission ends)

"Jesus christ man."
"Poor girl..."
"You got all that right?"
"Yeah, yeah I got it. It's blinking, see?"
"Do you think we could help her out?"
"Well, if she heads this way, of course. We can't spare people to go find her though."
"Have you tried transmitting to her?"
"I did. No response."
"Keep trying then. And turn that thing off already!"

END OF RECORDING

- MISSION END: MEMORIES OF HER -


Anon looked away from the wrist computer.
"She-"
He couldn't hold back the tears anymore.
"SHE'S ALIVE!"
Franco let him cry into his chest, awkwardly patting his back.

He grabs his shoulders.
"Let's head back to base, Sana would be happy to hear this."

"Ye-yeah. Let's."

Anon wipes the last of his tears away before walking out of the building back into the snowy wasteland.
