The scene opens on the frozen, violent wreck of a train on Pandora, snow whipping across shattered carriages like vengeful spirits. You come to amidst the debris, a shiver not of fear but of primordial cold rattling your bones. Flashes of the ambush return: Hyperion Loaders, the concussive blast. You push through the numbness and stand. The dead are strewn around you like broken toys. Close by, a CL4P-TP unit with a badly damaged chassis wheels about in a frantic, comic dance, trying to pick the pockets of an unconscious woman with blue hair and a distinctive yellow-and-black suit. As she begins to stir, the robot panics, diving behind a corpse, its shrill, staticky voice a stark counterpoint to the wind's mournful drone.
