[Note for anyone stumbling in: There's a function in Horizon Zero Dawn that acts as Aloy recapping The Story So Far, kind of, where she visits her adoptive father's grave and tells him what's been going on. Maybe I'll be able to keep up using that as a thread tracker!]

Now, we're... Remember the complex I mentioned? There were two planets and a complex in space. We're in the complex. The station. But we got here and no one recognised it,
it's like a ruin. The clocks - the timekeepers - we found all say it's three hundred years after.

I don't know why I'm shocked - I'm on new planets in the future, why not--why not even further.

Hi Rost. So, remember how I said we'd been dumped on a dead world together and I had no idea how we were going to escape? Well, it wasn't a dead world. It wasn't a world at all - they've actually just dumped us on an abandoned island, and it was all some kind of dream. A dream we all had at the same time that the Savrii put us into. We woke up to a recording of someone telling us it was our fault - that we made them do it to punish us.

I don't think most of us even did anything. I wonder if they're just trying to scare everyone into keeping each other in line. A lot of people here seem like that's just going to make them angrier.

I've tried to escape the island already - I hit some kind of barrier before I could get too far. So I went exploring - I ended up in the tunnels underground. There wasn't much there, but there was this room filled with eggs -
the Savrii must have left them behind when they were abandoning the island. One of them hatched right in my hand.

She's sort of...a flightless, beakless bird. Actually, at first she looked like a Watcher, but she's already bigger than I am. I thought I'd just take care of her until I found someone who knew what she was, but I think right now, we're stuck with each other. I don't know how much she'll keep growing, but she looks more like a Thunderjaw now. I was calling her that, but it turned into just, uh... Teej.

To be honest, I don't understand what even happened after that. We escaped, but then...
The tribe who live here, the Savrii, some of the newcomers got into a fight with them,
and... I don't know. It's all a bit of a blur.

I never saw Teej again after that. I hope she was OK. But uh, now...
