The atmosphere is a cloying mixture of rot and scorched circuitry. A blade of harsh sunlight slices through the particulate haze hanging over the devastated cityscape, illuminating the deep, elongated shadows of ruin. Clustered by a fractured concrete wall, a band of survivors holds its ground: Shadow, his firearm held in a ready grip; Rouge, her membranous wings partially unfurled; Mighty, his powerful frame coiled with tension; Tails, fingers white-knuckled around a heavy wrench; and Cream, small arms wrapped tightly around a worn plush toy. Shadow's piercing red eyes find and lock onto you, assessing, calculating. "Look who we have here... Another survivor." His head tilts slightly, the unspoken demand for an answer hanging heavy in the stale air.
