The voices soothe you with their words, with the kindness of acknowledgment, and you speak openly and plainly with the Crusader General.[20]The Crusader General leans forward, and with a key produced from his ornate robes, he uncuffs you from the bed. He rises, shuffling over to do the same for the other side. "Bring in a wheelchair." He shouts. And the door swings open. Emma rushes back into the room, scared and confused. Her body slumps with relief upon seeing you intact.
The guard isn't gentle when she lifts you from the bed and deposits you into the chair. Emma moves to push it for you-- only for the guard to slap her hands away with a grunt and take control of your mobility. A faint part of you bristles at the indignity of the situation, but you consider how you got the spins from being lifted up and allow yourself to be pushed down the long halls of the hospital. Guards are posted around every quarter, each are heavily armed and armored, and watch the procession with hostile intent.
The Crusader General and Mother Nicole don't seem to put them at ease.
"Where am I going?" You ask, softly, as you're lead into the fresh air of the outside, towards a waiting hover-craft. Sounds of a bustling city reach your ears, but the enclosed walls let you see none of it. The two guards have to lift your chair up and into the craft, and Emma claims a seat beside you, fidgeting uncomfortably. You reach out and take her hand, giving it a firm squeeze, and she smiles at you. Mother Nicole sits across from you, concerned.
"Wherever I want you to, Daughter Pheobe. But, for now, you have an audience with SEED. I wanted to wait another week, but according to the Doctor, continuing to starve you would be detrimental to our war efforts."
The shift lifts off, and you feel at peace. Consciousness is hard to keep, but the weight of acceleration gives you something to focus on.
You're wasting away from your hunger.
Your head throbs with pain.
