Day 1 - Chapter 3: First Encounter

Two young black men pulled up on a rusty hover bike, pointing fingers at my crotch. Haven't they seen a pen*s before?

Turning off their vehicle, their language was unintelligible to me.

Swarthy, they wore yellow dashikis, with assorted pants and shoes.

A golden earpiece rimmed their left ear.

One had a mouth crinkled with anger, his lower lip hurtling through motions of impatience and hesitation, the other a mouth of fear, its upper lip tremulous with disgust and apprehension.

However, their brown eyes squinted with suspicion.

Who were they?

Perhaps they know more about the forces from above threatening us all…could they help me out?

As "Shash…" crashed inside my mind…

…this black screen emerged in front of me.

Oh?

So I can read someone else's general information?

I have his age, his rank, everything!

Wow!

So excluding the mbòmbo names, he's called Gamwè Yisika, but he doesn't have any inherited ngùdis or ngùdis bwindèa like me because he's a mot'à bilà type. He also has 2.20 pounds next to his weight; that must be his clothes' weight, since I'm naked.

However he has hand-to-hand combat mastery and bladed weapon mastery, plus his rank is above mine…that sounds great!

He must have experience then. What about the other?

Oh? He's older and stronger than the other!

Great!

While I don't understand them, they may understand me. "Hey! Do you know where we are?" I asked as I strode towards them.

Once again, they spoke words I couldn't decipher, and judging by their reaction, neither understood what I said.

Suddenly, they pulled out a knife emitting a yellow light.

Careening towards me, they stabbed me in the chest…
