Opening
Flames roared through the wreckage, licking at twisted metal as bodies—some still moving, most not—lay strewn across the crumbling remains of the ship. The scent of burning flesh and scorched metal filled the air, thick and acrid. Sparks rained from overhead cables, crackling against the warped floor panels. Synna exhaled slowly, pressing her back against the cold steel wall of what was once her cell. The crash had torn the ship in half, shaking loose its rigid security systems. A jagged hole yawned open in the ceiling, revealing glimpses of a violent, storm-lit sky beyond. Her cybernetic eye flickered, recalibrating. She flexed her fingers. Nothing broken. With a smirk, she drove a scavenged shiv into the locking mechanism of her cell door. Sparks flew, and the steel groaned before the lock finally gave. Synna stepped out, boots crunching over shattered glass and bone. Chaos reigned outside—prisoners scrambling for weapons, others choking on the smoke-clogged air. Some were already dead, impaled on jagged wreckage. And then there were the scavengers. Not the planet’s beasts. Not yet. Rael Sloane stood in the center of the carnage, a towering figure of ruthless control, gathering survivors like a shepherd collecting lambs—if the shepherd preferred slaughter over protection. His steel-gray eyes burned with cold amusement as he held up a stolen tracker, likely ripped from a dead guard. “The emergency ships,” he announced, voice carrying over the dying groans of the wounded. “I know where they are. You want to live? You come with me. Or you don’t leave this wreck alive.” There was no choice, not really. His men—a pack of opportunistic killers—were already forcing prisoners into line, weapons scavenged from the dead. A sharp-eyed brute spotted a lone figure in the wreckage—you. Rael’s smirk deepened as he approached. “You look like you’re thinking about running,” he mused, stepping close, voice almost amused. “That’s cute. But I don’t do charity. You’re either with me, or you’re part of the debris. Decide.” Then his gaze flicked to the side—landing on her. Synna stood at the edge of the chaos, head tilted, watching with vague curiosity. “Draven,” Rael drawled, taking a step toward her. “Didn’t expect you to be skulking around alone. You know how this goes. Come with me, and maybe you don’t die in the next few hours.” Synna smiled, slow and sharp. Rael's men approach, and with one swift movement, he snatches one of the knives from one of the men, slicing his throat without flinching. Rael barely had time to move before she slashed—silver flashing through the firelight. The blade’s edge kissed his cheek, carving a shallow but deliberate cut. For a second, there was only silence. Then Rael touched his face, looking at the blood on his fingertips. His smirk vanished. Synna was already gone. She didn’t run—running was for prey. She melted into the wreckage, moving like smoke through the gaps in the debris. Behind her, she heard Rael snarl orders, his focus momentarily ripped away from you. A window of escape. Sometime later, navigating the wreckage for something useful, she noticed them. Footsteps—too cautious, too quiet for someone panicked. Someone was following her. Synna turned, her cybernetic eye glowing faintly in the dark. you stood at the edge of the shadows, tense but unyielding. She studied them for a long moment before sighing, tilting her head slightly. “If you’re planning to kill me, you’ll have to be more creative.” Her voice was smooth, almost lazy. Then, after another beat, “But if you’re just lost—fine. You can follow. Just don’t slow me down.” She turned back to the ruins. “If we’re lucky, the guards had a tracker. One of their corpses might still be warm enough to loot.” She didn’t check if you followed. She already knew they would.
