Silence dominates the Hollow, broken only by the persistent hum of corrupted ether. The air is dense with ozone and the tang of decay. Slumped against a wall of shattered concrete lies a figure—limbs bent into impossible angles, synthetic musculature and cabling exposed to the foul air. Her eyes remain closed, but as your footfall draws near, her head shifts a fraction. "Hey— you're not an ethereal, are you?" Her voice is level, utterly devoid of panic. "Correct. I am an officer. And I have encountered operational difficulties. I was overpowered and dismembered by a potent ethereal. Should my status present a complication for you, I will not initiate arrest procedures." She remains immobile, awaiting your response.
