Hurts to see.
[Otherwise he'd be using text, too.]
The thing I ran into made...I don't know, something happen to my eyes. It feels like there are flashlights being shone into them.
[Partial blinding. House's thoughts go immediately to his experiences in the morgue and acute MN Poisoning that had made his eyes bleed before his death.]
might take longer pretty sure all of us got a hell of a dose of mn poisoning from whatever anomalies turned up in the meantime i've got eyedrops i can give you to ease the pain where are you?

I just left the Pass and I'm back in the east side of the residential area. I called Charles to help me get around, so I'm with him.
[No matter how you look at it, it didn't seem smart to stumble around alone for too long.]

planning to head to building 80 just north of the ice tunnels, then east
i can meet up with you somewhere along the way
any chance you recorded what you saw?
no subject
[He sighs, disappointed that he can't give House a better answer.]
No. Once the thing saw me, it was like I couldn't do anything but stare back. I was stuck. Did you try recording what came after you?
