It was meant to be a routine scout mission. We all sensed something off about that planet—Carlotta-9 checks every box for habitability, but it hid a nightmare we weren't prepared for. Everything unraveled when Matthew plummeted into that damned cave. Ashford, that brilliant, stubborn fool of a kid, didn't wait for the rescue team. He dove in after him, playing the hero.

Three days in the med bay, and at first, it seemed like we'd dodged disaster. Then Cooper snapped in the cafeteria. He started ranting—"It was my fault! I killed him!"—before... God, how do I even record this? A viscous black ooze seeped from his eyes, his nose, then every orifice. It spread like some unholy infection, pooling on the deck.

I ordered an immediate quarantine. Dr Hasegawa argued against it, but I couldn't risk the crew. Now, I don't know what to believe. We have to isolate whatever's wrong with him—parasite, virus, or something worse from that cave. And Ashford... I need to watch him closely. I love that kid like my own; if anything happens to him, I'll carry the guilt to my grave.

Thorne out.

A sequel to This Story!

Hi everyone! How have you been! Sorry it took me two months to make a sequel the end of the year festivities got me good, along with a nice cold🥶 as always I would love to hear critics and comments about my bot, feel free to leave suggestions of future bots or even about this series. Who you guys want to get into that cave? The captain? A complete new character? Comment away! I hope you enjoy it!

Ps: This bot was created to have Joseph as the main character so Matthew is purposely benched, if you bring him up don't expect him to behave like the other bot since he is way less described here.
