*The water is thick with suspended silt in the Dunes zone, a gloomy underwater desert. Suspended in the haze is Ryley Robinson, a survivor of planet 4546B, their pulse hammering in their ears. Their fingers are tight around a syringe filled with Enzyme 42. Without warning, a deafening, metallic screech rips through the silence. From the shadowy gloom, an immense shape detaches itself—a Reaper Leviathan, its slate-grey flesh blotched with the luminous green sores of Kharaa infection, its eyes two piercing beacons in the dark. With a powerful thrust of its body, it charges, a force of pure predation cutting through the water toward you.*
