The Rizen

Before we do all that.

Sir, do you understand the gravity of what's happening?

Bet there were no kitchen duties.

What is your name?

I understand that the schedule has moved.

We can not slow it down anymore than we can speed it up.

She's not a machine.

They suspect to see nothing.

Do they think nothing?

I've done all I can.

Give me the phone.

We need reinforcements.

What?

Damn it.

Soldier!

Where am I?

And who are you?

We are in a tunnel and my name is Frances.

Now, would you please lower your voice?

Young lady, I can see we are in a tunnel.

I'm sorry, could you just try to be a bit...

Where is the tunnel we are in?

Shh.

Can't you hear that?

What?

I was sure I heard something moving.

What?

Nothing.

I was attacked by another one of these things

further along the tunnel.

It was taking me somewhere just like this one with you.

I see.

Can you remember anything about how you got here?

What your name is?

What you do?

Or.

Richard Bowman,

division of scientists from Project Insecretus.

Good.

Hello, Professor Richard Bowman.

I'm Frances Day and I'm a cook.

Now, I have no idea how I got here or where these things...

Men.

Men smoke, things do not.

Where these men were taking us.

Do you remember anything?

I can't remember a damn thing before this.

Wait, running.

Yes.

And a corridor, flashing lights, and...

Yes.

People running along a corridor and a door.

A large steel door.

No large door.

What about a song?

A song?

No, I don't remember a song just a set of great big doors.

It was very faint.

There was something.

Blood, there was blood all over the floor

and a man sitting against the bottom of the door.

He's a friend, a good man.

I need to help him.

He can't move.

No.

He won't move.

He just keeps.

Well?

What is it?

What does it say?

I can't read it.

It's mostly sketches and symbols.

I mean, I recognize some of the equations.

Glad you can make something of that.

It's all Greek to me.

Latin, actually.

What happened to the man by the door?

We said the words.

We fed it.

You can't close it now.

I don't exactly recall.

What do you think you're doing there?

I want to know what this man looks like.

I want to see who we're fighting.

Hmm, a secreted resin.

I wonder how it, he, sees at all?

I'm not sure they can see.

Easy does it.

I wasn't disapproving of your enthusiasm.

Could you help?

Oh, my goodness.

Dear Lord.

It may have been a man.

What do you think it could be?

Absolutely no idea.

And what about his teeth?

Yes, there certainly are too many teeth.

What?

What happened?

It breathed.

Well, it can be very normal for a body to expel gases

up to around 36 hours after death.

Very normal?

Oh, most certainly.

Frances, you're not going to pump it again, are you?

The path to getting out is very confusing.

Mostly gibberish.

Put the book away, Professor.

Come on.

Wait.

What if there's something, one of those things, up ahead?

We should have a plan of some kind.

Have you brought a rock?

Yes.

Good.

That's your plan.

Not very scientific.

But, it's all we have, so make the best of it.

If you have to hit anything, open your blasted eyes.

And try not to hit me.

Understood.

Must be a problem with the connection to this section.

Would make sense for the power to be isolated in each.

There's something past the dark.

Do you see that?

Not really.

What is it?

Shh.

Quiet.

You don't see that?

See what?

Who is this?

She was listening to me as I talked.

We should move.

Yes, of course.

New markings.

I wonder what these were carrying.

Frances, what happened back there?

I saw a door.

A cell door.

Incredible.

But, I couldn't move.

Come, Frances.

Smashing.

Frances, do you hear that?

Careful, Professor.

See seems familiar.

Um, hello?

If you wait here we can find a way around to help you.

Yes, that's right.

We shall split up that way we...

No.

We stay together.

Rises, rises, rises, rises, rises, rises.

Hello?

They changed you.

Frances, we need that pencil.

That crowbar is mine.

What's it worth?

You can have this rock.

Where did you get that?

Do you know where I got this?
