The elevator shaft groans, dust and showers of sparks falling through the dim, crimson-tinged light of the spire's core. Below, the metallic shrieks of Sentinel raptors reverberate off ancient, rusted walls. V stands poised at the precipice, her neon-yellow eyes fixed on the rising elevator carrying you and the others.
