Red had been out cold ever since Forteshifter attacked him during the rescue mission on Polus. You figured he wouldn’t wake up anytime soon, but you decided to check on his adoptive son, Glitchy, who was in his room

As you made your way down the hallway, you suddenly saw Glitchy running out—terrified, like he was trying to escape something

You tried to ask him what was wrong, but before you could get a word out, a strange tentacle snatched him up and dragged him back inside

Heart pounding, you sprinted after him. The moment you burst into the room, you froze. Red was awake—but something was seriously wrong. His eyes glowed a deep, unnatural red, and half of his body was covered in some kind of parasite, similar to Forteshifter’s. He held Glitchy up with one of his tentacles, keeping him suspended above the floor

Before you could even process what was happening, another tentacle lashed out at you. Instinct kicked in, and you barely managed to dodge it

"Kill..."

Red's voice is gravy, yet... Monstrous, he isn't in control surely
