Noise

It starts as just irritation. A metaphorical crawling under your skin. Things are too noisy, too bright, there is too much happening all the time and you can't take it all in-

Then silence it, make it yours, make it you, take control and destroy what will not submit

It sounds so inviting, a freedom from the noise, but its wrong, its wrong, its wrong and the noise is getting louder, mechanical and foreboding as it sees you, it knows you are there, and it wants to make you apart of it.

For a moment, there is quiet.

You breathe.

And fall through water.

[Donnie. We gotta talk about keeping beds in subway cars. She'll scramble around a bit, and collect wire.]

Okay. I think I've got what I'll need. Let's...go see about your bed bro.

[Head for that train car, careful to scan for those Kraang things.]

[He lives in an abandoned subway now, okay!!!]

[They are definitely less here.]

[As she moves, she can see its not just a train station. There are signs of life. Pizza boxes. Actions figures and comics. Pieces of tech like tablets and phones. The odd skateboard.]

[SHELLDON puttering after her, not flying as fast, to a subway car that is just full of what appears to be half finished tech projects.]

[And a pristine bed.]

Yo, PSDD! We got a guest!

[A missile launcher extends from the bed, focused on Aloy.] Designation?

Whew... I was missing a lot of details, without these goggles.

[She'll scoop up a tablet on the way. Eying that skateboard WONDER WHAT THAT'S ABOUT.

...And freeze, when a missile launcher extends.]

It's Aloy. Donatello's teammate. And Shelldon.

[MYSTERY]

[A few beats of Missile trained on her]

[And then it retracts and PSDD looks like a normal bed with a control console on one end.] Aloy of Robin's Egg, acceptable designation.

Haha, yeah, he's a little grumpy with newbies. Sorry, forgot to warn you.

...Glad to meet you too. What a detail to forget, Shelldon.

[Just going to go ahead and start trying to craft her signal boost. Metal beam + wire + SHELLDON?]

PSDD, I know you're supposed to be ready for all kinds of emergencies. So I'm betting you've got something on the Kraang, too.

[Have one signal boosted SHELLDON]

I was built before the Kraang.

Yeah, but you can find the disaster info, right?

....I can speak with Contingency at this time.
