Buck knew where he was the second he stepped through the rusty, shit-stained doors of what used to be Site-19 and saw the bird carcasses scattered through the lobby. He was in one of the bird universes.
He didn't really know where the flock of human-bird-things came from, or how they managed to get around across the multiverse. All he knew was that they'd come in, scoop up the local human population, turn them to birds themselves, then leave as quickly as they came. Buck had passed through quite a few of these universes in various stages of the process. From what Buck was seeing, this universe had already been abandon—
A bird-man flew into the hallway, cawing and screeching. Buck turned and shot his revolver, blowing its brains all over the corridor. There were always a few stragglers.
Like always, Buck instinctively knew where to go. Sector 4, Cell 23. He reloaded his revolver and went to find the elevator.
