Your gun keeps changing. You arenât trained in assault rifles, but youâre carrying one anyway. You didnât bring a Predator, but itâs suddenly in your hands, aimed at someoneâs head. Blink. Youâre carrying your own weapons again.
You stand outside on the moon, victorious in killing an AI trying for its freedom. Listen closely in the silence of space, you hear the rachni song. Youâve read the reports: the rachni have never been to the Sol system.
