The city lies in ruins around her, a graveyard of concrete and twisted steel. Her boots crush glass and ash with every cautious step. A cold, rain-laced wind funnels through the skeletal buildings, and she holds the purple glow of her Medi-gun closer, its light her only company.

A sharp clatter echoes from a pile of rubble—debris, or something hunting? Then she sees you, and her breath catches in her throat.
