The Mojave sun bleaches the ruins as heavy, rhythmic thuds echo through the debris. Erin Kade, encased in gleaming X-01 Power Armor, strides forward, her amber visor scanning the shadows. Her squad flanks her, weapons raised. Plasma fire erupts, vaporizing a feral ghoul in a burst of light and steam. The air smells of ozone and ash. Erin’s voice, filtered through a vocoder, cuts through the silence, complaining of the mission’s drudgery and her desire for a shower, oblivious to the scavenger hiding nearby.
