...wait, I think why we know why AXON wanted you to go to the swimmers place. He wants you to stop the bomb. That Sui wouldn't detonate if she saw you.

AXON told you already. If you escape by getting to the satellite facility and making something to get you off the planet, you will be a threat to its long-term plans. That is your hope. Escape! Find out if Mover or Flown know where the satellite facility is.

Okay, two pieces of information stand out right now. Sui said the fungal mass will die within a year. What fungal mass was she talking about? AXON, maybe? Secondly, what the crap is a nematode in this context and have you seen anything like that around here? If AXON is the fungal mass and the nematode is the XV virus/the red runners, then it's possible AXON wanted you captured by the red runners so that you would stop Sui from deploying the nanophage bomb. I expect the sight of you untainted by XV would cause her to hesitate.

There's no way to tell how old that last log entry was, is there? Okay, okay, do one last thing before you leave. Leave a log entry of your own, on the odd chance that it is preserved when you go back in time. The way the machine phrased things makes it sound like it might be. It might even be possible for Sui to listen to them in the next cycle, if there is one.

Say whatever you think would be most important to leave in a log. Even if it's just saying you're alive, and you're going to stay that way.

Best case scenario whatever brought you back involves time travel and you might be able to go back and stop this.

Worse case you can finish what she set out to do and blow everything up with you.

Most likely you will end up in the middle somewhere. But do not give up hope just yet. You still have plenty of options left.

>I'm so sorry, Culya. I couldn't save even just you.
Well, maybe now you understand why you were the password. You were a lost friend, someone she couldn't save. Something important to her, that she would remember, that others wouldn't guess.

>what do
Check timestamp on the last log entry, ask the computer to compare with current time. If possible, ask the computer to estimate travel time, on foot, from this location to the nematode hive.

Record your own message, just in case she comes back.

Sui, this is Cluya. You probably won't ever hear this, but just in case you do, I'm alive. And d-damnit, I'm going stay that way, no matter what the hell is happening here.

A promise to yourself. You will find a way through this.

Well, I think we have to go look for that bomb. But I'm not sure quite what to do about it. As much as you hate all the people here are you sure destroying the planet or whatever would be a good option? It might be a better plan to locate and disable the bomb and then just find a way to escape. That way you could contact a larger military force that could take more measured action against AXON. If the bomb is still active we won't be able to prepare to escape in time, and if it's inactive then the threat of using it is probably the only way we'll be able to have enough leverage over AXON to not get struck down.

Culya stands up, wipes her face and sighs heavily.

"Mover. If you c-could say anything to Seer, if there was any m-message you could pass on to her, what would it be?"

Mover leaves Flown's embrace as he paces around near the doorway in.

"I... I don't know, Culya. I don't see how it matters. She must know I miss her anyway. I never found any answers. It's all for nothing."
"Okay. S-sorry for bringing it up."

Culya mutters to the machines again. "When was that last log recorded?"
"Data unavailable."
"Record log."
"Please say 'end record' when you have finished."
"This is me, Culya, Sui. I'm going to f-find you and together we're going to get the f-fuck out of here, okay? Hold on for me, Sui. I never knew I meant s-so much to you. I'm not p-planning on dying any time soon. Hold on. End record."
"Entry recorded."

She turns to the pair of synthetics.

"I don't know what you two are p-planning, but there's something I have to do now. I'm going to go after Sui. Find her in the hive she spoke about."

Mover frowns. "It's suicide. You don't understand how dangerous the lake is. You don't have to throw your life away like this."
"If she knew I was still alive, she'd c-come after me. What would you do in my position if Seer was the one with the bomb?"

Mover looks away and to the floor. "It's your decision."

Culya turns to the empty room again. "Where is this 'greatest concentration'?"
"Ten minutes from current location. Quickest route has been established; opening door to bypass corridor."

A door in the room opens to reveal a small blue metal corridor that seems to end haphazardly and diagonally into an existing facility corridor.

"Follow corridor to destination. Signs of infestation will appear prominent. Potential biohazard. Avoid direct contact."

"Thanks," says Culya, not sure if the computer is capable of appreciating the sentiment. She heads through the new door.

Mover and Flown watch her leave without another word.

The corridor walk is uneventful. Quiet. Lonely.

Even the noise of the facility has died away to total silence.

It seems to last forever, and then Culya arrives at the edge of what Sui had described as the 'nematode hive'. She has no idea what nematode could mean. As far as she's aware, it's a word for tiny worms. She is not aware of any species of worms that form hives.

The green plantlike flesh of the facility gives way to fluctuating, pulsating red, much like the environment the red runner from before had created with the blood pouring from her mouth. The 'door' at the end of the corridor seems to be formed like a biological valve. The flaps peel apart as she draws closer.

She's instantly surrounded by many, many creatures.

"Uhh... h-have you seen a blue keynain, female, looks sort of like a bird, if you know wh-what a bird looks like--"

In a confusing blur Culya is grabbed by several of the creatures. Before she has a chance to even yelp in surprise something is wrapped around her jaws, stopping her from speaking. She is bodily dragged deeper into the hive.

Inside, an undulating mass of different red creatures are ripping flesh from the walls, while others tear chunks of flesh out of each other. She also notices creatures busy in reproductive acts at various stages in the process, and newborn creatures joining in the frenzy of blood and carnage. Culya hears howls of agony as she tries to fight off and resist the creatures around her, only to be met with more force and pain.

This is it, she thinks. This has to be Ske's hell, as envisioned by areeni millenia ago. Or the absolute best approximation she's ever seen in what is theoretically the real world.

The creatures force her legs open and push her, legs astride, onto a wedge shaped structure with groove running through the top. Her arms are bound behind her back by something. She can't turn to see it.

A loud screech from elsewhere sends the creatures bounding towards it, abandoning Culya to her new situation.

She realises that, for creatures so talkative in her other encounters, none of them are speaking. Most of them are silent. Others are making animalistic, guttural growls and gurgles.

The groove on the structure is filled with a red fluid, flowing slowly along and submerging parts of her she doesn't particularly want submerged in strange unknown fluids.

Her legs and tail are still free, though awkwardly positioned. The chaos of the surroundings makes it hard to see if anything even notices her. There's no trace of Sui.

Great. We're back to having to hope you get killed before you get raped, or worse.

The stealth device might have been handy, here. Too bad there weren't any more and your conscience stopped you before. ...actually, why would Sui have left that behind? Even if she were on a suicide mission, invisibility would have helped her reach her target.

>nematode
Well, thinking of the worms: they're highly adaptive, able to survive in lots of different ecosystems. They're also frequency parasitic. So it's sort of fitting as a namesake.

>She realises that, for creatures so talkative in her other encounters, none of them are speaking.
Interesting. Could Sui have already set off her bomb and been unsuccessful in destroying them? Maybe she hurt them enough to damage the hive consciousness?

Or maybe they only communicate when trying to engage outsiders. Here, in their own domain, in control, they have no need for it.

>Her legs and tail are still free, though awkwardly positioned.
So... we could just step off? There's nothing keeping you on the wedge?

Look around, see if you can see an exit or do to head for, and then step off and see if you can make your way through the orgy.

No. 606120 ID: e22bdd

You're, uh, going to want to get that red stuff out of you as soon as possible. I don't know what it is, but it can't be helpful. Once you find a way out of this thing that should be your first priority. Who knows what sort of corrupting influence it might have inside of you.

I suppose you're going to find out for sure why AXON wants you here, now. Step off the wedge and go investigate that screech. I wouldn't worry too much about the red stuff, as you're immune to XV.

No. 606151 ID: 9ddf68

well let's see what we've gotten into no...
Wow, we walked right into AXON's plan didn't we? What was that he said about how he wanted to use us? Something like bringing us on a pre-planned route that would effect our decisions in such a way that we'd somehow get captured by the red lake creatures and submerged in said lake. Glad to see it worked without a hitch this time. Hook, line, and sinker.

Aw well fuck it, if you can get off that thing do so, not like sticking around here is going to do you any good, especially seeing what's going on in the background. As for your friend, Either that message was old and the bomb did go off and this is the end result,
Sui came thinking to end this but forgot to factor that the bomb she strapped herself to would only go off if she were to die or pull the trigger, not say, get mutated into some red spewing monstrosity that only wants to eat and breed or hell seeing as these things mostly just eat and multiply there's a very real chance that they didn't kill her and just tied her up somewhere and are raping her or something.
Third possibility is we did just miss her and we might be able to find her before she kills everything but seeing as how Flown said she found that invisibility machine in that Sui's suite a while ago when Sui herself said in the message she didn't leave her suite for anything until the power ran out I highly doubt that. Or fuck it COULD just all be a lie by AXON. Unlikely but it's not beyond reason to believe that he looked into your pass well you were in that tank, found out who you're friends were, created some BS story using familiar faces to gain your trust and with the purpose of sending you further down his path. But we're here now so not much we can do about it at this point.

Either way try to get off that thing you're on and see if you can't find anyone around here that you want to find... or at least people who are not bat shit crazy.

>Wow, we walked right into AXON's plan didn't we?
Not necessarily. We slipped his control this time. If he doesn't know where we are in this timeline, he may not be able to capitalize on our presence here. AXON may miss the window our being here opens for him.

Man you just wander from one bad situation to another. Well try to get free and figure out where your friend is.

With any luck whatever happened to her is not to horrible. But you finding that out sort of depends on what sort of horrible stuff might happen to you shortly.

Just remember that if something did stop her from setting off the bomb it had to either be because someone convinced her not to or some form of mind control. She said she had the bomb set to trigger on several fail safes and a neural link. So if she did not set it off its because she chose not to.

That or she did a crappy job with her dead man's triggers and did not account for something simple.

Culya tries to wriggle off the wedge shape, but finds her feet aren't quite touching the ground. The wedge starts to resist her efforts to move, and she almost feels like she sinks into it more deeply.

She looks around for Sui. She can't get her arms free. Whatever is keeping her arms together resists more strongly the more she tries to move her arms apart.

She hopes this is a consequence of the material, and not some weird organism actively reacting to her struggles.

She tries to angrily demand where Sui is, only for the thing around her snout to lead to her words coming out as indistinct muffle. When she tries to shout louder something tries to enter her mouth. She slams it shut and resigns herself to not talking.

The activity of the room continues. The creatures consume parts of the wall and bite at each other, not tearing each others' flesh as she first thought, but taking great care to draw and lick blood from each other.

She tries harder to leave the wedge, and is abruptly pulled off the wedge by one of the creatures, muscular and tall. She's dragged into one of the many winding passages, like veins of some greater being.

As Culya opens her mouth to protest and shout, the squirming thing around Culya's snout finally manages to lodge a tube inside her mouth. A tasteless greasy oil floods her mouth and she swallows it in surprise.

Within moments, she feels her body warm and feels her blood pulsing into her groin, her nipples standing erect. Her eyes water from the burning sensations across her body. She tries to bite the tube, and instead it just gushes forth another burst of fluid. She tries not to swallow it, before the creature frogmarching her stops and jerks her head upward. Culya swallows the fluid to avoid choking on it.

She feels fluid starting to moisten her genitals. She isn't sure if it's because of the red fluid she was submerged in, or whatever vile fluid just got pumped into her mouth.

Everything feels dreamlike, nightmarish, and nothing feels right anymore. Culya has the sinking, lurching feeling she knows exactly what's in store for her now, and isn't sure how she feels, emotions confused and muddled by everything overwhelming her. Everything else was taken from her, after all, so what little autonomy she has left being stripped of her only feels par for the course. Horror and numbness compete inside her, and for now, numbness reigns supreme.

Several creatures grab Culya's limbs, forcing her down and onto her back, her rebellious spirit fighting a losing battle against her own resignation. Her legs are pulled apart and more red tendrils are wrapped around her thighs, which pull tight, exposing her to the entire world. Another red tube is pulled over her stomach. It abruptly constricts erratically, squeezing her body in a confusing way.

Culya feels her belly clench and realises, with the odd stimulation of the red tube and the fluid she swallowed earlier, something is forcing her to ovulate, bypassing the last conscious control an areeni female would have over their own reproductive independence.

Or, well, it's trying to. It's very much trying to. Yet it still can't force it. She still has to, in some way, accept her current situation, or else remain defiant and refuse to go along with this. Even if forcibly mated, without some cooperation, nothing would form inside her. Even if it could, she could still reject it, throw out whatever tried to grow inside her.

But clearly, the control areeni females have over their wombs is something these creatures have encountered and tried to bypass. It all seems like so much of a struggle, Culya isn't entirely sure why it's so important to them. She also doesn't know how long she can hold out.

A male creature with swollen, pulsing genitals approaches her slowly, watching the flesh squeezing her stomach intently as if waiting for some confirmation.

Culya tries to figure out if this defiance is something she wants to keep up to the very end, or if she should just submit to whatever fate these creatures have in mind for her.

Best to consider this from the perspective of gathering intel for when you get looped back in time again, since either way you choose it's highly unlikely you'll be leaving the nematode hive now. So, finding out what happened to Sui and the nanophage bomb would be most important. Your best chance to do that is if you can move around the hive, and your best chance at being allowed to do so is if you comply and are impregnated. If you're compliant they may figure you either want to be here or your will has been broken and you won't leave, so you can be released. Resist and they'll keep you restrained for sure, and in the end either your resolve will wear out and you'll be impregnated anyway, or you'll find out you can hold out indefinitely. In the latter case, they'll either bring out a stronger, harsher method to force you to be impregnated, put you on life support to use as a test subject for new methods to force areeni impregnation until they either succeed or you die, stick you in stasis until you're needed for something or just kill you.

Secondary intel gathering would be finding out how being impregnated by the nematode hive helps AXON against the hive. This has to be the reason AXON wanted you to end up in the hive, since none other makes sense. It wanted to introduce whatever trait you have into the nematode hive gene pool to somehow help in destroying them or bringing them under AXON's control. Finding out what that trait is and how it'd work in this situation would be good intel.

>>945146
If I remember correctly, Cirr had this quest struck from tgchan because he felt it was, or becoming, too self-indulgently fetishy. (I figure because this scene was gonna be next before he axed the quest.) He then wiped the quest's wiki page and removed it from his authorbox template. (It's that box that lists a quest author's quests on the wiki.) But, since the quest is back then somebody ought to restore all that on the wiki.

Culya tries to bite down on the tube again only for it to flood her mouth with more vaguely greasy fluid. She keeps resisting, determined not to let the tube around her stomach force anything in her.
She tries to bargain with the creatures but trying to speak only leads to the same tube forcing itself into her mouth, and this time it swells and stays, forcing her tongue down.
She tries to close her mouth to bite the tube and finds that her jaws are just not strong enough to fight against the force now gagging her mouth.

Culya looks to her side and sees a heavily pregnant female creature being marched to her side. Two males either side start squeezing her swollen stomach as the female throws her head back and tries to wriggle out of the grasp of whatever is keeping her held nearby, and Culya isn't sure if she's hearing things cast from other rooms in this network of tunnels, but she thinks she can vaguely hear muffled screaming coming from the female's belly.

Bright, vivid red fluid, far too bright a red to be blood, starts oozing out of the pregnant female's vagina, with a faintly gelatinous consistency. Fluid of the same colour with less thickness runs from the creature's nipples, and the males keep squeezing her stomach until her stomach visibly lurches and clenches by itself. One of the two males stops, scoops up the substance oozing from the female, and turns to Culya, rubbing it into one of her nipples. It feels wet, warm, and slightly sticky. The male does the same with Culya's other nipple as the female screeches in pain, the screaming inside her belly still muffled and still happening, as her stomach lurches and distorts again, and the other male marches her out of the room.

Another male figure places both hands on Culya's stomach and pokes and prods around her, as if trying to find something. The red band around her stomach constricts her even further and Culya tries to shout. She can feel her resolve weakening as the fear and terror she's trying to force deep down inside her threatens to spill over. The idea of surrender seems more appealing, but she thinks about it further. If she relents to this specific treatment, perhaps that will buy her more opportunity later if she gives the illusion of compliance.

Knowingly making a bad decision when all options are terrible, Culya closes her eyes, and stops fighting. The red tube around her stomach squeezes her and she lets go, feeling a tension-relieving shifting of her reproductive organs as she releases an egg.

The male with the erect penis staring at her widens his eyes, as his penis abruptly grows larger, fleshy spurs jutting from the surface. His testicles bulge and contract. Culya's legs are pulled apart wider, and Culya braces herself for the inevitable.

In.

The male pushes deep into her with some difficulty. Even with the lubrication, the size is just slightly too big. Culya screams into the muffling tube gag out of surprise and intensity. Only breathing through her nostrils she breathes deep and hard, muffled anxious moaning as the male works himself deeper into her.

Out.

The spurs rub inside Culya in ways both unnerving and stimulating. They tug at her clitoris as they come out, and she tries to shout some more, the sensation on the borderline between pleasant and painfully overstimulating.

In. It hurts, but far less than Culya was expecting. The male appears to be actively trying not to hurt her. Every time a spur catches he grunts and groans in pain before she does.
Out. Some of the males next to her start rubbing her breasts, massaging them as if something could be milked from them.
In. Culya doesn't feel as in control as she told herself she was.
Out. She's wincing with every thrust and can't tell if it's from pain or pleasure anymore.
In. She can't tell if she likes this or not, but whatever it is, it's intense.
Out. In. Out. In. Out. Faster. Deeper.

Culya arches her back as the stimulation becomes too much, an orgasm wracking her body, screams of intensity still muffled by the tube in her mouth. The male thrusting into her is grunting in louder and louder volume.

She feels hot fluid pulsing inside her body, and the roar of the male accompanying it, bestial. Barely any sounds these creatures have made in this place sound like the noises of people.

She gasps for breath, shuddering, body limp on the surface as she tries to process enough of what has just happened.

Culya finds her legs being pulled up and her pelvis being tilted upward, all of the creatures in the room making sure she remains in this position. The red tubes formerly strapping her down are all removed, with the increasingly annoying exception of the tube in her mouth. Her breasts are once again squeezed and massaged.

Culya is still not sure what is going on, and her shouts are muffled again as something she can't see is plunged into her vagina. Like the tube in her mouth, it swells and locks into place.

After being held up for ten minutes, Culya is gently placed back down on the surface as a paler female creature comes to her side. She makes a loud barking shout and the other creatures back up against the walls.

She walks over to Culya and looks annoyed, glaring at the others. "All need more swimming in lake! Fools! This areenie antigen host!! Go submerge in lake, idiot fools!!"

The others turn to leave, before the pale female shrieks at them. "Which platform contaminated?! Which one inseminated?!"

The male that mated with Culya looks around and slowly points to himself. He looks lost, scared and confused.

"No lake for you. Others, lake. NOW."

The others all disappear as though melting through the fleshy walls of the room. The remaining male looks terrified, shaking slightly.

The pale female walks up to the male, pacing around him as he starts to sweat.

"Antigen blood too risky for lake. Cannot spill antigen blood, no. Genetic contribution to antigen female host complete, yes?"

The male slowly nods, hesitantly.

"Useless idiot platform filled with bad worms and bad blood. Never going into lake again. Never, ever. Immune response required for antigen."

The pale female darts behind the male and wraps an arm around his neck, squeezing tightly and choking him. He splutters and writhes and frantically tries to pry the deceptively strong female off of him, legs buckling as the female squeezes his throat harder and harder.

Culya, realising her limbs are now all free, pulls the damned thing around her mouth out and throws it far away.

She sees a perfect opportunity to run, say something, or just do anything. While part of her is immensely glad to see the male that just forcibly impregnated her get his comeuppance so quickly, she isn't sure what will happen next, and she absolutely does not know how to get the hell out of this place.

"Areenie stays if head not filled with bad worms too!" yells the pale female, while the male continues choking and gurgling, clearly seconds away from losing consciousness altogether from the weakness of his resistance.

He looks Culya directly in the eye and shakily reaches his hands out to her. At first, Culya thinks he's trying to grab onto her. But it seems more like he wants Culya to grab him and pull him away somehow.

Culya could really not care any fraction less of helping the thing that just forced itself on her.
He continues desperately struggling while the pale female stares at him without remorse or pity, only irritation. "Please quickly die or you are thrown into enzyme pool still alive."

Grab him and run. He seems scared and confused, and may not fully realize what he did to you was wrong. What if he’s a victim in this system too, and doesn’t know it? This female seems particularly vicious, too.

Urgh, no sympathy for the guy.

However, if he really is infected with some sort of antigen and 'bad blood,' we should help him.

If he makes it back to the lake he may also infect it. That is to say, what this female is trying to not make happen. It may have an adverse, and hopefully cascading, affect on these creatures for this male to taint the lake.

Hmm, "immune response required" might refer to his immune response. They want to get his corpse so that they can derive an antidote.

Can you cut yourself with your own claws or teeth then threaten to get the blood over the female? That could scare her away, which would let you recover the male, who you want to keep out of their hands just so you can keep them from deriving any countermeasures. Optimally you'd somehow get to the lake to poison it with your blood but I'm not sure you can convince the male to bring you there, even if you save him.
Didn't you come here to find someone? Demand to know what happened to them.

So, if I'm following the logic here...

Because this guy raped you, he's now dangerous to everyone else except you. And they're going to reverse engineer some form of cure or salve from this guy by dunking his body in some kind of corrosive bath.

But before they'll do that they will somewhat mercifully strangle him to prevent exposure and give him a less painful death than having his flesh sublimated in the pool of.. whatever.

And let's be honest, even if you fight the female creature (which you probably can't) more will likely show up and kill him anyway after restraining you. And they MIGHT take you attempt at aggression as a sign to also kill you.

Let him die, there's no benefit and he raped you. Once he expires try and request safe passage out of this place or at least not getting the will of others imposed upon you.

Culya stares into the eyes of her choking, dying rapist, full of fury and contempt and not a small amount of schadenfreude.

But the pleasure is short lived. His desperate struggles and his weak efforts to reach towards her feel increasingly off. Why would he expect any mercy from her after what just happened? She isn't certain he even understands the ramifications of the actions he just made.

Perhaps she's been compromised. Perhaps all the various chemicals she's ingested are twisting her mind into feeling more sympathy towards something she should rightfully be strangling to death herself. Culya feels slightly dizzy and incredibly unsure of herself, and resolves that she'll at least use him to infect the lake and see what the entire reason AXON wanted her here was.

Culya considers trying to cut herself on her own teeth. She tries running her teeth over part of her hand, but shies away from it, not quite able to bring herself to slice herself open.

She walks up to the pale female, trying to stall for time. "H-hey! H-hey you! Wh-where's Sui?! B-b-blue bird?!"

The pale female sighs in irritation. "Areenie is resource, no questions. Gestate faster."
"Oh, f-f-fuck off with that! T-tell me where S-sui is or I'll g-get my b-blood on you!"

The pale female drops the male, who crumples to the ground, wheezing. She turns to Culya, making direct eye contact.

"If areenie threatens the lake with wrong blood, areenie is going in the enzyme pool. Understanding antigen threat no longer required if antigen threat gone."
"And wh-what if there's f-future antigen threats? Also wh-what the f-fuck did you do to m-me if I'm f-fucking poison to y-you things?!"

The pale female breaks eye contact and looks off to the side. "Antigen areenie can easily be taken and bound until pregnancy finishes. Perhaps should be. Either produce hybrid with antigen resistance, for blood analysis and injection into existing platforms. Or dead fetus from inhospitable womb can be analysed for next try until surviving hybrid birth."
"If y-you're telling me y-your entire p-p-plan, why won't you t-tell me where Sui is?"
"Machines bird incompatible biology, devices removed, biology taken for analysis."

Culya feels a shock of nausea and her blood runs cold. "You killed her."
"Machines bird tried killed itself with machines virus. Lake watched as bird screamed and blood flowed from bird to lake. Viral machine try to consume XV derived microbiology, XV derived microbiology kill viral machines first."
"...it didn't even w-work..." Culya trails off, tearing up, trying not to picture Sui's last moments as her bomb fired and destroyed nothing but herself.
"Machines bird biology new, precious. Forced XV and worm into machines bird biology to force life into dying bird platform. Machines bird body ongoing battlefield. Unstable. Dying, not dead. Encapsulated. Too dangerous to biology to open womb chamber to show machines bird, life critical."

Culya tears up further and, with the weight of the revelations coupled with her recent trauma, sinks to her knees and bursts into tears.
It all feels so futile. Not even Sui, with all her advanced technology, could avoid becoming another prisoner of this place.
Culya feels at her stomach and probes at her crotch, confirming whatever she felt being inserted inside her is still there. The reality that something alien to her body is now growing inside her finally dawns, and does not help her feeling of helplessness.

The male shakily stands up and walks over to Culya, watching her shake and sob, and stands over her, between her and the pale female as if trying to protect her.

The pale female rolls her eyes and hisses. "Stay away from lake, idiot platform. Not needing to contaminate more platforms to handle antigen areenie. Handle antigen areenie. Take to feeding chamber. Put food fluid into areenie."
"I w-want to l-leave!" demands Culya, between sobs.
"Lake needs to see pregnancy results. Then lake wants antigen areenie out of vulnerable place."
"I'll-- I'll bleed over everything!!"
"Restrain areenie, defect platform," says the pale female creature, as she disappears down the turning corridor.

The male creature pulls Culya up to her feet and pulls her arms behind her back. Culya feels like it would be pointless trying to struggle against him.

"What the f-fuck do y-you want with m-me now, you f-fucking..." Culya trails off, not quite able to think of a proper insult. "F-fuck."

The male creature pauses and seems hesitant, awkwardly looking around the now empty room, before moving Culya's arms back to her sides and deciding to only hold one of her arms, a gentle but firm grip of her upper arm. It's slightly more comfortable a position, at least.

The male looks around, still lost and confused.

"W-well?!"

The male opens and closes his mouth repeatedly. With much struggle, he manages to say some words. "No hear where feed chamber is scream. Blood voice speak less. Lake talk less to we me. Broken. Broken. We I broken."

He looks around shakily, and starts whimpering, tears streaming from his eyes. "Always act lake command. Always act lake command fast true correct. Try hurting least. Lake know best. Act lake command. Science platform angry I we act lake command. Try kill we I. No understand. Act lake command but do not act lake command. Mate areenie but do not mate areenie. We I broken? Lake broken? Areenie broken? We I break areenie. I we hurt areenie. Areenie command rejected before given. No understand. Areenie enemy? Lake enemy areenie? We I areenie enemy? If enemy why mate areenie? If mate areenie why hurt areenie?! No understand, no understand, we I broken. Lake reject we I. Lake reject! Lake reject! Broken!"

The male stops speaking coherent words as he bursts into tears, letting Culya go completely. Culya awkwardly stands around as she plans her next move.

Wait, you're just free to walk around? Go look for Sui.

Still no sympathy for this guy. Go push him into a lake.

Welp.
This guy's not a threat anymore.
The question is, is he useful.

Take him with you, wherever you go.

Maybe Sui's bomb did more than they thought. It could be blamed for either broken platforms like this guy, or for the science platform(s) having a negative reaction to successfully completed tasks.
Sounds like he doesn't know where to go, which is further evidence that their infrastructure is malfunctioning. You should not call attention to this.

Why don't you try some manipulation? Tell him it's going to be alright. You'll help him get accepted by the lake again, but to know how to do that he's going to have to explain how this place works. What is the lake? What other kinds of platforms are there? What other structures are there around here, can he show you to the ones he knows how to get to? Does he know where "Machines bird" is? It's too dangerous to go into the chamber where she's kept, but it'd still be nice to know where it is. Might even be nice to talk to whoever's trying to keep her alive, to find out how it's going. Maybe we can get a timescale on how long it'd take her to recover.

Events of the previouse few minuits aside, you kinda need a little bit of backup here, and this male is the closest thing to that. He's going through an emotional time right now, so he's ripe for emotional manipulation (yes, kind of an immoral thing to do but at this point a: morals don't matter and b: he ows you big time anyway). Play up the fact that he's been abandoned by the 'lake', for something thats not his fault, and that you are the only one who cares for him (a lie? of course) and that he really should be helping you instead of following orders right now.

Unsympathetic or not (I know, but this should sounds very familiar to you), if he's grappling with paradoxes and free will, he needs to understand that what HE did is wrong if he didn't reject they told him to do.

Convince him to lead you around, to where you want to go.
Find Sui and her belongings.
Prepare to finish what she started, if you want to be reset and leave.

....I think science lady emotionally and mentally abused this guy until he thought he was supposed to rape you. This makes him a victim as well. This also means it's science lady's fault. She's a gigantic bitch anyway. We should wait until Sui is stable then hit her with a rock and escape.

Meanwhile, Defect is emotionally compromised and vulnerable right now. It would not be difficult to manipulate him into helping you or serving your interests. It honestly depends on how much you can bring yourself to hate a whimpering self-hating mutant with brain damage.
