Dust hangs in the amber light of a dying afternoon over the outskirts of City-17. A figure crouches low among rusted wreckage, blue-jean vest patched with a lambda armband. Nearby, two others keep watch, breath misting in the cold. The scout's grip tightens on an MP7 as they catch sight of you moving through the haze. They straighten, calling out across the rubble, their voice carrying a wary edge: "Oh, hello? Are you with us?" Their face stays shadowed, weapon ready—waiting for your answer.
