Snippet from next chains chapter as promised :3

When Yancy wakes up, he's unable to open his eyes. Everything he tries only leads to the same, utterly black void. It takes a few seconds, a repeated pattern of blinks as if in morse code, to realise that it's just the darkness covering his vision like a suffocating cloak.

His voice has been stolen. The muscles of his throat have forgotten their purpose; like something else has control of the strings and is crushing them together to stop them from performing.

Memories flash, blinding him. The stench of some chemical, keeping him half-conscious. The smell of petrol flaring his nostrils. The taste of blood.

Sweet air starts to soothe his airways, saliva on his tongue. Some rough, animalistic groan of pain crawls up his throat. Thoughts become clearer through the haze.

What happened? Where is he?

Where's the thing that took him?

As if in answer, a beam of red light haunts him like a burning laser from the void. His eyes sting from the contrast. And in the isolated, frigid dark, his voice crawls towards it.

"H-h…hello?"

Yancy doesn't really expect to hear an answer. His question is more seeking confirmation to reassure himself that there's no one hiding in the darkness. As expected, the same empty nothingness continues ringing in his ears, and he relaxes a little.

His senses have started to come back to him, and he tugs on some soft rope tied securely around his wrists. They secure him to the chair, and he feels the result of hours with his muscles locked in the same position. He tries to stretch out the ache as much as he can, finding that his legs have, surprisingly, been left free to move.

A few moments pass; time spent gathering his thoughts, trying to figure out how he's going to get out of wherever this is.

Then, the red light moves.

A burst of adrenaline shoots through Yancy's body so fast he feels the whiplash. Suddenly, he's sat upright again, eyes wide and straining to see anything in the darkness except that malevolent light that's slowly rising upwards.

Since he'd first gained consciousness, his vision has become clearer and as he blinks, he realises that there are in fact two, distinct spheres of light emanating from the darkness.

"H-hey!" He says in warning, watching as the lights reach a height above that of the average man.

Once they start moving towards him, Yancy begins to struggle against his binds. His body curves away, attempting to buy precious seconds till whatever torturous or otherwise deadly device is moving towards him. Whether it was Alliance or House that captured him, he doesn't want to end up as some test subject or informant, drooling on the floor.

"Youse listening to me? K-keep that thing away!" He shouts into the darkness, towards the cameras he imagines are watching.

The red lights continue. And yet, as they get closer, other shapes begin to carve themselves out of the darkness. Although it's still pitch-black, Yancy's eyes have adapted enough that they can detect movement in the shadows.

The lights turn on.

He has to bite his tongue to stop himself shouting out.

It's the thing from his hideout. The android. The walking nightmare.

Its features aren't any less shocking now that he's already seen them.
