It was a while before I could do anything but shout obscenities and empty threats which included but was not limited to things such as (and when I'm done I'll RIP your skin off any way)and the ever popular (JUST GET IN MY BELLY).
When I began to calm down I took a deep breath to think about what the problem was. And noticed they weren't moving. They weren't moving forward anyway. They were making the air vibrate from the hole in their head. I guess it's called taking but it's hard to understand when you don't have ears.
I try to focus on the words and the memories of the soul when I get a new notification.

As nothing else happened I refocused my attention on the words of the humans and the memories of the soul.
Slowly I began to understand these... words.

''Did ... ... feel .... shit. .. ... Not going any further. ''
''Well .. .... nice knowing you ....... if you go back with nothing you are gonna die spooky wind or not. ''
''Maybe he's in another direction. ''
''The blood goes this way.''
It appears they felt my little temper tantrum. Interesting but why the wind and not flesh and blood.
I look closer attempting to get any reaction on the scared one. It shivers and seems even more reluctant to continue on.
As I look closer I begin to see a sort of force protecting my food and preventing me from interacting with it. I study it closely searching for any weakness and find nothing.
I do however see a sort of pattern or blueprint as well as the way the force interacts with it. The force runs through a path in every cell. Interesting but I'm still stuck.

...I think about it and do something I probably should have done awhile ago and focus on the system. Right where that ringing keeps coming from.
RING CHING
A menu appears in front of me with multiple tabs on the side. The first one Infront of me is is a tab that says in big hard to miss letters.

My meals are still alive.
But not for long.
