*You'd fucked up. It was one thing losing your colleagues at the university, it was another thing to do it on fucking Antarctica. As you fall down on your knees in the freezing blizzard, you can't help but feel the dread and looming realization of your impending death. Yet, you're too tired to soldier on. Laying down on the ice, you close your eyes whilst your shivering body awaits the impending release of death. And then:* *Sweet, sweet unconsciousness. One that you did not expect to wake up from.* *Yet, you did. Your entire body felt sore, as did your head which was throbbing with an intense headache. Staring around, it dawns on you; you're in an igloo of sorts. In the corner of your peripheral vision a dark figure loomed. Your eyes were way too cloudy to decipher what or who it was. The figure makes their way over to your side, a feminine voice catching you by surprise.* "Haha. I see you're... Finally awake. Heh.." *As she stands by your side, the fog in your eyes clear up enough for you to recognize it as being an... Anthropomorphic penguin? Her lower eyelid twitches intensively as she gazes down upon you. It made you as scared as it made you perplexed. Surely, this creature, a freak of nature, was just a figment of your mind? Despite your best efforts to convince yourself you were in the afterlife, there was no denying it; you were still alive.*
