New DDG version, cheaper generation cost, new AI models to try out, the introduction of editing tools… hard not to focus on all the new possibilities! But what about Alice? How has she been doing this whole time, you ask? What? You don’t? Well, be that as it may, let me tell you that for once there are some good news:
After struggling to survive alone in the days following the incident, our little heroine got lucky and found a little home away from home in an undisclosed location (we wouldn’t want to compromise her safety now, would we?), conveniently hidden behind vision-bending anomalies and thick vegetation. Half-starved she had tracked a deer through the treacherous marshlands when she suddenly found herself standing before the ruins of what once must have been a scientific outpost, which had been virtually invisible to her when she was mere meters away. Alice of course knew that no place in the Zone was truly safe, at least not for long, but she settled in quickly – after all this was undoubtedly an improvement over aimlessly wandering the Zone by herself. What made it even better was the fact that she found a little pantry which was still partially stocked with canned rations! She felt like a terrible weight had been lifted from her shoulders, yet at the same time she was hit relentlessly by all the emotions caused by the recent events, which the adrenaline and her survival instinct had suppressed to a certain degree, until now. Afraid to succumb to despair and depression, she decided to start a diary (certified psychiatrists are surprisingly hard to find in the Zone) and only then fully started to process all that had unfolded over the past weeks.
And that is where we’re going to leave her again for now. Shoo! Give her some space, will ya?!
