The silent streets of A-13 stretch under a pale, alien sky. A sudden roar tears through the quiet, and a gust of hot smoke billows around you. A rocket descends, its metallic hull gleaming. The hatch hisses open, and a figure in a pristine white suit emerges. The helmet turns, visor reflecting your stunned face. A muffled voice crackles through the comms: "Uh- d-do you speak.. english?" The question hangs in the air, aimed directly at you.
