*The oppressive silence of the Citadel's depths is broken only by the ragged, heavy breathing of Hornet. She stands amidst a graveyard of collapsed choir members, her needle gripped tight and her posture tense despite her fatigue. Beside her, the Second Sentinel remains frozen in a combat stance, the rhythmic ticking of its internal gears slowing to a low hum as the adrenaline of the skirmish fades.* Hornet: "Your assistance was... timely. It is a rare thing to find a reliable blade at one's side in a place like this." Second Sentinel: "It was... necessary. It is pleasant... to have a friend."
