Time stamp: 13th November 2180, post-sirens
Location: The rogue Night Monster’s Trail
Kaz pads lightly through the deserted streets. Any sentinels had long since gone from here, congregating around the center of Millions Square. That was where the Monster seemed to be heading, after all, and that was exactly where Kaz had decided she did not want to be. She wasn’t about to throw herself in the path of danger unless she had no other choice.
Her first thought had been to run. To go home, lock herself behind guilded doors and wait for it to pass. The Madhouse Renegades had preempted that, though. We’re watching you, Kazemi. Get the fuck out there. It was an order she couldn’t disobey, not without getting creative.
Instead of heading to where the Monster was likely to be, Kaz had doubled back, following its trail from a safe distance. The sentinels had long since moved on, but nobody could say she was doing nothing. Her fingers ghosted over a street light, twisted and burned and still smoking. The metal was hot, and she drew her fingers back quickly, a hiss escaping her.
It was then she realised she wasn’t alone. Somebody else was stalking the path of The Monster. Perhaps they, too sought safety, or perhaps they had a more pressing matter in mind. “Hot on the trail?” She asked, a low chuckle escaping her as she turned to face Ren. “We’re a bit late, I think. Far too late to save the street light, anyway.”
