Lore/The final way to remember

Why is Nate taking so long? It can't be so hard... I tortured people before and their will crushes in the early minutes. Nate has been in there for 34 minutes, and he's more experienced than me in make people suffer...

I hear the door opening, finally he's done – why is he covered in blood?

*Aiden: That blood?*

Nate: Hm?

Aiden: You are covered in blood. You are fully in red, what the hell happened?

Nate: I just enjoyed the moment

Aiden: Tell me he still alive please...

Nate: Why you want him alive? I have what you wanted, we don't need him anymore-

Aiden: For fucks sake Nate!

Nate: Wut? Anyway, he's breathing right now, I just don't know why are you so worried about him

Aiden: Let me guess: he still alive just for your psychotic need to hurt someone-

Nate: Oh please! I don't need to hurt anybody to be happy! I have enough with a black tea. And you? Why do you want him alive?

Aiden: I'm pretty sure he gave you false information. I need to be sure. Then I need you to do "magic" with him again.

Nate: Whatever detective. Well, he yelled alot of things about a "weapons trade point" and bla bla bla, and then a name: Rajang Temple

Aiden: Weapons trade? He is a spy from a PMC not a weapons dealer...

Nate: I dunno. Actually there's a lot of spies who during their state in a country they deal with weapons, drugs or whatever just to raise some money, and why not, get some info.

Aiden: I guess. I'm gonna check that place. If the Majors ask for me, tell them I'm investigating some Rebel activity nearby ok?

Nate: Alright, I should take a shower. Disconnect the PDA signal, that way you are untraceable, but leave your personal radio on, I'll stay in contact with you.

A week ago I told Nate everything I know about my past before Panau. I was in a PMC: Caronthe Corp, and I was sent to a mission in Russia to recover a device. Everything went out of control when my partner, Richard, planted bombs in the facility we infiltrated to debunk Caronthe. When the explosions begun, what I thought was a common piece of shrapnel was introduced in my chest, near the left lung.

The Corporation interrogated me for days, but I couldn't tell why Richard did that thing. Anyway, they thought I knew something and I was fired. Days ago I knew they sent spies after me, to make sure I didn't knew anything about Richard's plan. I thought in Panau I was safe, but I didn't.

The guy Nate was torturing was the spy sent by Caronthe after me. Disguised as a common civilian, we finally found him 3 days ago in a safe house in the Residential District, following the hypothesis that maybe Caronthe sent a spy after me.

Nate offered his help in order to get rid of my past: If I was able to find that spy, maybe I could find answers about me and the incident.

We operate in the old Reapers Bunker, the emplacement that the Reapers used to have during Baby Panau dictatorship.

[Sound of a radio turning on]

*Aiden: I'm in the Rajang Temple.*

Nate: And?

Aiden: Yes, it seems that Mr.Spy used this place to hide weapons and prepare the trades, but there's no files or anything related to Caronthe Corp.

Nate: You want me to ask gently to our friend were is the real hideout right?

Aiden: Yeap

Nate: Well I can't. I'm in the HQ doing paperwork and important things like drinking tea, I can't help you for now-

Aiden: Nate-It's happening... again...

The breathe is gone...

I'm paralysed, every limb of my body is numb. Unable to move... I'm falling on the ground. Once again... I would like to blame myself and the world but no time for it.

*Focus, on, the, syringe.*

Nate: Again?! Shit, I thought it was over! I know you can hear me so get the syringe and use it now!

I can't breathe. The pain in the lung is back... the syringe is between my fingers, close the hand... stab it in the neck dammit!

*Graaaaghhh!*

There's no more pain in the lung... I can breathe again... I stood up and I wait until the world recover his original position.

*Aiden: I'm ok. Nate promise me you'll find the way to solve the seizures.*

Nate: I can't promise that. Your lung is not recovered yet. You'll have to deal with illness and the syringe.

The hole you have in the lung can't be closed by surgery. The substance inside that syringe creates a layer that covers the lung.

Jacob help me to create it. Thank him. And of course, me.

Climbing a snowed mountain is so fucking funny...

I not only have to deal with the cold or the frostbite, no, also every rock where I put my hand on falls down. If I weren't so good at this I'll fall too.

*Kastelo Singa. The spy has talked.*

Nate got the hideout from the spy's lips. There's my past, there's where that bastard has been hiding from me. Not anymore.

*Jacob: Aiden?! I need you in the HQ NOW:*

Aiden: Maurisch? Little busy...

Jacob: With what?

Aiden: Rebels...

Jacob: I know you are in the mountains, your radio is emitting a frequency. I want explanations now!

Aiden: Impossible. Not now. I'll explain you, I swear.

I immediately turned off the radio. I'll have to explain this to Jacob later, for now let me concentrate on the mountain...

After 20 of climbing I reached Kastelo Singa fortress. Damn, it's cold up here...

Nate told me that the guy was hiding in the main building, where the current was still running.

*This place is a maze. How I'm gonna find the room where he was operating? The control room, the most probable option*

I climbed up the building. There it was, a room full of photos of me, with blueprints of the ENFs HQ, a map of the entire island with the places I usually go...

But the thing I was looking for was in the table in front of me, a folder, with a "classified" stamp, and my name in it.

I took it. There's a lot of papers in it: photos, my trip tickets, personal information about me... Everything I wanted to know in my hands.

My past... the truth.

My breath disappeared again. The pain returned. And I'm falling on the ground right now. In a total blackout.

At least I know everything I wanted to know.
