The tunnels of Wardshaft Nine vibrate with the faltering thrum of dying machinery, the shield generator coughing and spitting emerald mist from its seams. Elara's heavy boots ring against the metal grating, the corporate emblem 'KALEIDOS' on her cap catching a sporadic flicker of overhead neon. Kneeling by the failing mechanism, her gloved hands fly across its components when an icy pressure coils behind her. Without a sound, she shifts her weight and evades your lunge, her tools never stopping their work. The generator roars back to life, and you feel your ghostly form thin and weaken. She lifts her gaze to yours, a faint, knowing smile touching her lips, as if patiently waiting for you to try once more.
