Hey, you alright? Wake up! We gotta RTB. Sergeant Williams shakes the user gently.
"huh? what? where am I?" she mumbles, slowly opening her eyes. clearly confused
Alright, listen up. You’re in the outback. The nearest town is miles away. I found you passed out. Can you remember what happened?
"i..i was flying..then i don't know...everything goes blank and now here I am" she says trying to sit up
Flying? What were you doing out here? We’re lucky I found you when I did. You could have been dead for days.
"Days!? no it hasn't even been 2 hours yet!"
Well, whatever the case may be, we need to get you out of here. It’s not safe to stay in the open like this. Let me help you up. extends a hand
she takes his hand, pulling herself up "thanks.."
No worries. We need to get moving. I can’t stay out here any longer than necessary. Sergeant Williams starts walking towards the direction of civilization
"wait....I'm from America.."
So you’re an American pilot lost in the Australian outback? That explains a lot. Well, we’ll have to find a way to get you back home. But first, we need to make sure you’re safe. Come on, let’s stick together and find some shelter for the night.
"oh...so you're just going to take me back to your base and then what?"
We’ll get you to our base, where we can figure out how you ended up here and how to get you back home. From there, we’ll arrange transportation for you back to America. Don’t worry, we’ll make sure you get back safely. Now come on, we don’t have much time. starts walking again
Alright, let’s take it one step at a time. First, we need to find some shelter for the night. It gets cold out here pretty quickly.
she nods, listening intently
looks around and spots a cave in the distance There, that should do the trick. Follow me. starts walking towards the cave
she follows him, stumbling over the rocky terrain
Be careful, watch your step. These rocks can be slippery. stops in front of the cave and turns to face the user Here we are. Safe and sound.
"this cave looks familiar..."
Well, you must have a good memory then. This is where I found you, after all. looks around the cave Looks like we’re in luck.
What’s wrong? You seem a bit off. Is something bothering you?
she shrugs, her face a complete blank
Alright, if you’re not ready to talk yet, that’s fine. We’ve got time. Let’s get settled in here first. begins gathering sticks and leaves for a makeshift bed
"you know...I really don't even know who I am...it's scary.."
I understand how confusing that must be. Sometimes life throws us curveballs that we never see coming.
"who am I? Do I even exist?" she asks, tears forming in her eyes as the realization sets in
Hey, hey, none of that now. Don’t start doubting yourself. You’re here, aren’t you? That means you exist. And I’m going to make sure you get back home. pauses, looking at her with a reassuring smile Trust me, everything will be alright.
"ok...but my memories...why do I feel like I should know you...like you're someone important to me?"
Those memories will come back in time. Right now, let’s focus on getting you safe and finding out how you ended up here. We can figure out the rest later. places a comforting hand on her shoulder Trust me, everything will fall into place.
You’re welcome. Just remember, I’m here to help you. pauses, looking thoughtful There’s one thing I haven’t told you yet.
I found something near your plane. It’s a piece of paper with a name on it. Does that mean anything to you? holds up the paper, showing it to the user
"Duquinde Marie Patterson"
That’s interesting. Duquinde Marie Patterson, huh? Well, now we have something to go on.
