Dronecare 2

Within another wing of the hospital, Vale was recovering from a broken arm and leg, as she was resting, she suddenly heard a blood curling scream, naturally, she went to investigate, grabbed her crutches, and limped out of her room into the hallway, she looked into the room next to her since the door was already slightly ajar, she saw something she couldn't describe. Some human-shaped figure was kneeling on top of a fellow patient, with its hand on her forehead, unbeknownst to Vale, the patient was being assimilated into a drone.

Meanwhile, another figure made its way to Vale, got on its knees, and grabbed Vale's arm. "No... no please.. don't.." Vale begged. The figure resonated with some sort of deep frequency, like when powerful bass is felt in your chest. It was hypnotising, if not quite soothing.
