"What… mean… can't attach…!?"
"Nerves are…"
"Then… mine!"
"...Not work like that."
How many times has it been now in a short span of time that Rhys found himself falling in and out of unconsciousness? He could faintly hear Ayesha's loud and obnoxious voice, but he could barely make out any words. There seemed to also be another person with her, but he couldn't recognize who it was.
"Just heal it!"
"Can't… could attach mech…"
"Do it! Get… expensive… one."
"But… cost is…"
"Budget is… just…"
"...Escort… commander… out."
"D… touch… me! He…"
And soon, Rhys could no longer hear anything as he succumbed to the weight pulling him down. He did not even dream, there was only a darkness that was violently trying to make him stay in its embrace.
This embrace did not last long, however, as this dark embrace was suddenly replaced by pain that seemed to be eating through his flesh.
