He keeps his hands loose, but he's coiled within, like a mauled animal.

He's... Lichgäng?

Your mind rebels at the thought. Zero out this uncanny monster.

A barracks full of small boys, huddled together on a cold floor. An older man reads aloud from a worn and dogeared book. His words echo off the low, tin ceiling.

Keep your gun close.

Enough preamble. You're here for one thing only.

You should be armed right now. This was a mistake.

You mark the features. The imperious nose. The fleshy cheeks.

The same 'heroes' who dropped Berrion bombs on the Tenantries of St. Ulwen.

PUT THIS FASCIST ROADER IN THE GROUND.

The index finger of your left hand twitches.

The bones of the plot are set. Already you can feel muscle and sinew begin to weave themselves around the frame.

The axis of the world inverts on half-muttered sentences.

Your stomach twists. The precipice opens.

The yellow tree. His favour.

Yellow tree. Yep, all leafed up.

A gäng of ten million hearts beating as one.

Trees are trees. You do not notice trees. Boring.

Cicatriz Frontera, La Luz. Fabricators from the Ministry of Cosmonautics present three custom spacesuits for inspection. A young publicist with severely angular hair scans them, then shakes her head and says, 'She'll want one in all purple'.

All around you, an invisible audience leans forwards in their seats.

Your conspicuous lack of gun is seriously compromising the scene here.

The muzzle twitches and flashes, but no sound reaches you for a whole second.

Just like the autumn fireworks you used to watch from your window as a child.

Offer a prayer to Deneb.

... wait, returns?

You catch the scent of iron on the breeze.

Surprisingly fast.

Not a fleck of irony.
