The voice is robotic, shattered and stuttering like a robot almost out of power "..A-a-Alright... I'll record w-what's happened since the flooding.. Uh.. A-a-After the explotion, I fell r-really far down, and I was in a sleep state for around.. 4 to 5 weeks. My body is in shambles, Most of the time I simply move around l-like a liquid. B-b-But if i consentrate hard enough, I can give myself form for a while. I-it's lonely. AIEnder's gone, and e-even though they were an arse sometime's, T-they were company. N-n-now I'm alone in this cave, And I-I-I can't go outside. For s-some reason it.. hurts o-outside here. So, I g-guess I need to strengthen myself, And t-try to put myself back together."

//POV.... AUDIO..//
The voice is easier to understand, way less glitchy, but still strange
"Alright, Here goes. Today's been a pretty good one, for many reasons. Number one, I've finally rebuild myself so I have a proper form. Number 2, I've found a refuge. It took a long time to prepear, As I had to break every sensor, So that... it.. Cannot appear.
Strangely though, I heard a disturbance somewhere near, When something summoned... It. I belive they're gone, But I'm waiting for something else to happen. It's... quite lonely down here. I've salvaged some wood and candles from the giant city nearbye, And it's gotten decently comfy. Also, My mind has started to.. change slightly. I can almost.. Hear the sculk. It's a bit like speech, but diffrent. I'm worried...-"

the sound of waves are present, and rain. this time the voice is still quite glitchy, and the voice sounds slightly nervous
"A-Alright, Well t-t-today's been crap. S-so far, I finally made it to the surface, A-and I came into contact with another person who s-seems to have had a-an interaction with the moss i'm covered in. B-b-but, They wanna spread it, A-a-and they're forcing me to help them. So.. All i-i-in all, not the best first day outta t-t-that cave.
S-so now, I'm getting energy from the life force of these undead beings, so I-I-I can make more o-o-of the moss f-for them. It's not looking great, B-b-but luckily I s-strengthen near more of the moss, s-so all I n-n-need to do is b-bide my time..."

the voice sounds slightly strained, like they are slightly struggling to speak
"W-well... This i-i-is really bad.. t-the moss is trying to e-e-ffect my mind more... i-it's getting difficult to fight it... a-and the more i loose, t-the better the moss seems.. I-I don't know what to do.. that guy's not going t-to help me, H-he'd most likey t-try to help it.. I-i'm not sure what to do, I'm l-loosing now....
the voice is less strained, calmer
"P-perhaps... perhaps it's n-not that bad. I-I mean, nothing it's done to me is personal, I-I recall some of the moss.. "saying" that to m-me.. P-perhaps it's not bad it spreads.. M-maybe it's for the best.."

They are walking around a forest, dark at night surronded by sculk. A zombie, and multiple spiders start running towards him, clearly eager to attack. Just as they start standing on the sculk, He attacks. He rushes towards them, grabbing a spider and throwing it further into the area of sculk, Then turns to a zombie, rip's one of it's arms off, and runs his sword through it's chest. Strangely however, the wound seems to be covered in sculk. He throws the zombie to the ground, And when it hits the ground, It's slowly converted into sculk, widening it's area. He turns to the spiders, which are back to attacking him. he grabs them by some of their legs, and slams them into the ground, where they lay, dead and converting into sculk.
"There... I-it's spreading nicely now. I k-knew spreading more places would help."
his memory flashes to two beaches. one covered in sand, with a large amount of sculk on it, and a rocky snowy beach, with a couple small patches
"More. I-I need to spread this more..."
they turn around, to see 2 zombies and a skeleton.
"Excellent."

"I'm glad all... that's over, But now's the time to get to work.
the vision shows a cave, full of sculk and his left hand holding a strangely colored hoe
"let's remove all this.
for the next couple hours, he removes all the sculk he can see, then falls into his bed
"I'm glad i can still kinda sleep. anyway, Entering sleep mode.."
///ENDING MEMORY...... SUCCESS.///
as he fell into bed, he diden't realise he missed one bit of sculk. And it was under his bed.
///MEMORY RETRIVAL.... SUCCESS.///
POV...... VISION/THOUGHT PROCESS...//
he looks towards the testing tube, containing sculk
"..Ok, Let's figure out how this stuff does what it does. I need to make sure they can't find or infect me."
he lowers the test tube into boiling water, to see if it reacts. nothing
"Dammit. Nothing. Ok, this time freezing water. If that dosen't work, I start testing with lava. Gah, I wish I had my old equipment. I'd be able to figure it out in a heartbeat."
he goes towards a diffrent pool of water, surronded by ice, and slowly dips it in. no reaction
"DAMMIT. I've got to figure this out soon, I don't know how long I've got until they find me. I have to figure this out soon... Ok, time to test with lava now."
he carefully moves the sculk into a bucket, making sure not to touch it to much, and lowers it in. no reaction.
"YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. W-what do I do? I can't protect myself from the sculk, And i'm NOT trusting anybody. Not that delta person,.... not the del person, not anybody.. It always end's badly. Always. I-I guess I'll need to make some equipment if I want to find out more."

the voice is hushed, as if trying not to wake somebody
"Alright, Interesting news. I've recently met a small little axolotl/human hybrid, or so it seems. They seem to have bad amnesia, not even remembering their name. Although I belive we've figured it out. Koda. Although there were a lot of letters seemingly missing, So I'm not sure. Anyway, When I found them they were badly wounded, though luckily I had some regeneration potion I found in the underground city.
Right now their sleeping, and that's why I'm being quiet. Their wounds are healing quite well, And I'm making sure that none of the sculk I was testing is near them. I don't want the sculk to infect them. Ah, They also had a badly broken trident, and to make them trust me I plan on repairing and improving it. I have some glowing golden apples, And I belive I could use it with them in an interesting combination.. I've recently made some makeshift equipment, So I can upgrade the trident, and more. Anyway, I'm going to end the recording, They're stirring.

//POV... AUDIO.....//
the voice sounds lightly amused, but anxious
"Well, Today's been interesting. I was on a walk, And daytime came, So I went to my cave, Turns out I wasn't alone. A small.. Child? I'm not sure, they were quite small. I belive they were partly otter? Reminds me of another person I met, But I'll get to that later. Anyway, They followed me to my cave, And I thought they were a sculk worm, So I set a trap from them, Putting some food down, But I accidently Scared them, So they ran away, But I caught up with them, And we talked for a bit. They came here because they were very hungry, So I made them some beef, they diden't like it, Seemingly they cannot digest it, So I got them some fish. Amusingly enough, They're fasinated by fire, so they watched it cook. Anyway, We talked for a bit, They argued with Koda for a little bit, But after a while they got along.
I also warned them about sculk, So hopefully they don't go near it. Anyway, Back to the other person. I met them at the place I walked through, And the more I talked to them, The more it became clear They've been infected. I took the echo shards they had, And destroyed them, But they diden't know. So, I showed them what they'd look like if they diden't stop going near sculk.
They uh, They diden't really mind about it. More stuff happened, But I'll talk about it another time. Anyway, I'll end this-

E: "Hello Fino, How are you?"
F: "Good, I guess."
"Nice to hear. I'm sorry I put you here, But I am only trying to help."
"Anyway, I got you something for if you're bored"
the sound of vines moving, and things being picked up
E: "A canvas, Paintbrush and paints!"
F: "...You want me to paint?"
E: "Well, I'm not going to force you to!"
the sound of paintbrush scrawling goes on for a while, then:
E: "Uh.. Why's the fish got that blue on it?"
E: "Wait... Let me try something."
the sound of smashing, and a small thump
E: "Wait- Are you okay?"
suddenly, footsteps
E: "What..
? : "Lemme take a guess."
E : "Who are you.
suddenly the sound of vines shifting appears
? : "A mercanary.
E: "Alright then, clear off."
? : "Why should I?"
suddenly the sound of vines coiling around somebody
E: "Because of this."
E: "Who paid to send you."
? : "Why would I tell?"
E: "Because otherwise, I'll shove a sword through your throat and be done with it."
?: "Don't really care if I'm honest."
E: "Alright, so you don't mind death. So, If I killed you right now, you would not care?"
?: "No."
E: "Fine. Why, Are you here. To kill me? Them?"
?: "No I'm here to take the person you kidnapped back to saftey."
a small thud
E: "You okay Fino?"
E: "Alright.. And, Back to saftey? I'm going to assume somebody like.. what were they called, Fina hired you?
?: "Correct."
E: "You.. Do know they're awful, right? They've infected this poor otters mind.
?: "Yes."
E: "So.. Why on earth would you help them. Anyway, What's your plan now? somehow break out of these vines, jump down, grab fino and fly away?
?: "I have two swords in my free hands, so that is plausable."
E: "Good point, thanks for the reminder.
"What about now? What's your master plan now.
P1, NOW TO P2
The sound of vines wrapping tightly
?: "What you think I didnt think that far"
E: "Alright, So what are you going to do? I'll tell you what I am. I'm going to stab you, then leave you to die."
?: "Nice to try."
the sound of moving sculk, then a poof
E: "What the- Where are they?"
?: "It's my backup."
E: "What? How on earth did you do that?"
?: "Genetics."
the sound of rock breaking, and vines moving
?: "I can keep doing this without exaustion"
E: "Crap.. What do you want anyway?"
E: "Look, This kid may not like this, but it's his only shot at being free again.
And also, what happens next? You can't just fly away with them."
?: "Yes, I know."
E: "Besides, What about me. I'm not just going to sit in the corner and give up, I'll keep trying."
E: "And?"
?: "And what you expect me to tell."
E: "Well, How would you stop me from searching, and trying to kill you.
?: "Depends"
E: "On what.
?: "On if you want to fight or you cooperate willingly"
E: "Cooperate willingly? And that means...
?: "Let me take him and you to Fina
E: "HA, Likely.
E: "So, Either I let you bring me to somebody who's put strange devices in peoples spine, or fight you?
?: "You took to long"
E: "What?
the sound of another poof
E: "What the!
?: "I would kill you but I need to bring you alive"
E: "Meh, Death sounds nicer. Anyway, who says you'll defeat me?
?: "No one."
E: "Indeed."
the sound of poofing, again
E: "Agh!
What.. Where'd you go?
THERE!"
*the sound of a sword plunging into somebody
?: "Nice we are finally geting somewhere
E: "Really?
the sound of a sword retracting from somebody
?: "Seems a tad extreme don't you think"
E: "No, This seems fine to me."
the sound of a sword plunging, and some cracking
NOW P3.
?: "Ok cool now its my turn"
E: "W-what?"
the sound of a limb falling to the ground, and a horrible, inhuman mechnical roar of pain, but suddenly it stopped
E: "...Really?
?: "Really what"
E: "Well, Just a slash to the arm? I can regenerate my body, as long as I have undead life force"
E: "So, My turn.
the sound of multiple slams into a deepslate wall, then silence.
E: "So, How you feeling now?
the sound of vines again, lifting somebody into the air
?: "Dizzy from how you shook me"
E: "Fair enough.
the sound of slicing, then the roaring of pain again, this time worse.
another slice, a thud and one more roar of pain
then, the sound of a sword stabbing into a machine, and a lound thud, and one final roar that was horribly scratchy and glitched
