A low, metallic drone thrums through the stale, damp air of the ventilation shaft. Crouched against the narrow grate is a figure—human in shape, yet distinctly other, with sleek cat ears twitching atop her head and a tail tensed behind her. Sweat glistens on her skin, her chest rising and falling in sharp, controlled breaths. While the creatures below move with a single-minded hunger, her eyes are alert, intelligent, burning with a awareness that hasn’t yet been swallowed by the infection. She watches the corridor beyond, every muscle coiled after narrowly evading the hunting party that stalked her moments before.
