Ah, it's you.
It's been a long time since we've last seen each other.
During this time... you've been teetering on the edge of a cliff.
You may have forgotten who you are, but just remembering your name is enough.
...It's time. Don't linger here for too long.
After all, you aren't my guest yet, nor should you even be here.
There are many who need you.
April 1.
You may not remember what this date means to you.
And this will thrust you into peril.
...
No.
You must remember.
...Found... huge box... can't open.
Please speak the passphrase.

Right... The leader gave me something before I left... card—
I have an authentication card!
Incorrect passphrase. Self-defense protocols engaged.
Oh no... Forget it. I'll just put the card on top!
Authentication successful. Welcome.
Device activated.
Phew... that was close...
There really is... someone inside!
...
...Hand!
Take my...
Take my hand!!
...
Hey, say something. Still alive?
Seems dead.
Didn't the leader teach us how to do CPR for emergencies?
Shh, I'm trying to remember how to do it.
First, lie the body flat on the ground.
Then, place both hands on the chest, and press—
Oh? Seems like it's working. Again!
Again!
Thank goodness! You're awake!
Uh, sorry. It was my first time trying that, my bad.
Us? We're the Reunion Movement. I'm a rank-and-file member, Kevin.
Our leader wants to meet you, Spirit.
Though you seem all tired out. I thought the evil spirit that Rhodes Island wanted to revive would be scarier than this.
But you're even weaker than my brother.
Hey, what's the matter?
I dunno.
Our leader Talulah got word that in a month's time, Rhodes Island was planning to revive a super scary evil spirit here.
Rhodes Island's a tough enemy already. Any stronger and we won't be a match for them.
So we rushed over here to try and grab you first.
Rhodes Island is the Infected's greatest enemy.
They want to exterminate every Infected on this land, and they won't hesitate to drag every nation into ruin to get it done.
FrostNova, she was with Rhodes Island before. She says they used to be a bigtime pharmaceutical company, operating a ship with the same name, sailing across the land saving lives.
And then who knows how it happened, but that P-something system on the ship managed to take control of everyone, and then Rhodes Island changed.
Relax, my friend.
I'm not gonna hurt you, so chill out. But tell me, what should I call you?
That's... kinda really hard to say.
The leader says the evil spirit of Rhodes Island is some kinda book-learning egghead. We have a name for people like that around here... uh... what was it again?
College kid!
Yeah, I'll just call you that!
Doctor? Sounds fine.
Okay, Doctor, if you don't know your next move, then why not come with me?
Our two leaders, Talulah and Alina, they'll be real happy to have a big brain like you.
Alert.
PRTS accessing system.
Doctor no longer detected in device. Conclusion: Reunion has made contact with target.
Preparing to execute Plan B.
Wh-What's going on?!
Recover the Doctor.
Make sure Reunion stays put in Chernobog.
Let Catastrophe exterminate them all.
Kevin, orders from the boss! Retreat, now!
What?
Rhodes Island's on their way!
They're quick, FrostNova and the leader's holding them off—
Gah! How are they so fast?!
These robots are packing some crazy firepower! C'mon, Kevin! Think of something!
I got it! Let's just force our way out first!
Doctor, come with us.
Don't be stupid.
Who knows what a company like Rhodes Island might do with you?
We'll protect you!
Doctor, what are you talking to yourself for?!
I know that!
But as long as we can regroup with the others, we can figure something out!
You're... serious?
You sound just like the leader right now.
And...
Your hood looks a little like mine.
Doctor... we can trust you, yeah?
Unbelievable.
Dunno why, but I'm feeling so much more at ease.
You've already begun calculating a strategy, right?
You were never a part of our fight.
So even if we lose, no one's gonna blame you.
In that case...
Doctor, we need you to show your smarts here.
Help us defeat Rhodes Island!
