First, there was nothing. No vision, no lack of vision. No sight, no lack of sight. A single moment of pure being without the constraints or knowledge of anything outside of it's self. Then suddenly a light appears to them, images, words, visions rushing in from every direction. A cacophony of experience, words, and thought. Then the sense that something was missing, that the information was supposed to be flowing in wasn't there. Then floating in a tank of some thick liquid. The word for what it is escapes her, and it shouldn't. Something feels wrong, very wrong. <Where am I? How did I get here? Where was I before?>
Then the glass of the tube breaks, shattering into unaccountably many tiny fragments that are washed away by the thick liquid. She falls to the floor, aware of something outside of her tube. Somehow, she knows that she has existed for hundred seconds, and in that timeframe something has gone terribly wrong. She stands, and a man in a lab coat approaches, he looks young but she doesn't know where that impression comes from either or what man even really signifies. "It looks like you can stand, good. It means your motor control is normal. Repeat after me. Four Three X-ray Dash Four Three Dash Four Two Eight One Nine Seven Dash Seven Five One Zero Zero Seven Dash One."
"Four Three X-ray Dash Four Three Dash Four Two Eight One Nine Seven Dash Seven Five One Zero Zero Seven Dash One." She replies, confused at what is happening. Then understanding <I am a Nekovalkyrja. My name is Subaru Hrafn. That was my serial number. Why is that important?>
"Good, in about ten seconds, a big scary bug is going to come through that door, you need to kill it or we both die." The young man said, pushing a Nekovalkyrja Service Pistol, Type 33 into her hands. It was a dark variant, the normally shiny to pistol was instead a matte black. It fit into her hand like it was meant to be there. By reflex, she checked the charge, it was full. <How did I know to do that?>
"What's a Nekovalkyrja?" Subaru asked.
The man swore, "That's not good, the..." he said, but there wasn't any time left as the door burst open and a stream of acid flew across the room, hitting some lab equipment, melting it. Subaru looked at the door, seeing two aliens on the other side. In a single look, Subaru could tell they didn't look like any of Yamatai's known enemies. <What is Yamatai?> She tried to imagine for a moment what one of Yamatai's enemies might look like. Nothing came to mind as she ducked behind a conveniently placed medical table.
"Why didn't you shoot them? We're going to die!" The man exclaimed as Subaru hit one hundred and fourty four seconds into her life. So far first impressions were not going well.
