It took time for me to be able to leave the infirmary. My first attempts at escape from my bed where failures that resulted in me blacking out from the pain. I have no clue as to how long I was in the infirmary. Nor how long it took me to escape.

When I finally did managed to escape the infirmary, I couldn't believe what I found. The entire medical wing was a disaster. Walls were blown apart or missing chunks. The roof had caved-in in several sections. Black scorch marks could be seen everywhere. Bullet casings and corpses littered the ground everywhere.

The strangest thing of all was the corpses all of which were in various stages of decay. Some where almost completely 

skeletons while others where only missing chunks of flesh. It was obvious that a massive bloody battle had taken place here at Castle Smrt while I was unconscious in the infirmary.

How I managed to survive I don't know. But the problem with the corpses is that as decayed as a lot of them seemed to be, it would mean that the battle would have had to take place years ago. Maybe even a decade or more.

But that would be impossible. There's no way that I had been unconscious in the infirmary for that long. This just made me even more curious as to what happened. So I decided that it would be in my best interests if I could find a clue as to what happened to Castle Smrt and everyone in it. So the first place I decided to look which is also the first place to hold the most obvious answers as to what was going on and also one of the first places I visited when I first got to Castle Smrt, was The Security Wing.
