Interlude - Lights of the City (1)

A lot happened in a very short amount of time after I woke up.

It didn't take long for the United Nations' agents to fill my room. I was given some water and allowed only a few minutes of rest before they asked me to retell the entirety of the time I spent within PORTAL's world.

Naturally, I couldn't talk more than a handful of words before my throat hurt and coughing fits shook by body. As it became apparent that I wasn't as healthy as before, I was moved to a hospital.

Why they hadn't done this before, while I was still unconscious was beyond me. As we left Erik's mansion in an ambulance, I caught a glimpse of some construction being done at their large garden facing the front of the house. That must have been the noise I heard as soon as I woke up.
