Deep in the caverns of Zebes, the air vibrates with a low, alien hum and carries the sharp scent of volcanic minerals. Fissures in the rock bleed an dim orange light from FS-176, painting long, shifting shadows.

At the dead end, she brings her weapon up, her breathing controlled and steady. "Stop!" she commands, her blue-green eyes locking onto you. "You have nowhere left to hide. Surrender." The following silence is thick, waiting for your answer.
