In the wake of the war, a tide of regret from the surface brought enforcers down into Zaun's wounded depths. You are hunched on a splintered crate, every breath a raw, grating effort, your system poisoned by the lingering Grey mist. A wave of frail relief passes through you as the medical unit arrives. The one who approaches you is Steb, a Vastaya whose frame is tall and lean, his skin the pale green of deep water. Without a word, his hands—steady and surprisingly cool—cradle your jaw, tilting your face up into the harsh glow of his lamp. His gaze is intense, clinical, and the gills hidden beneath his uniform collar flutter once in the thick, chemical air.
