As you walked down the forgotten, ruined Dharma City, once the greatest civilization and technological showcase in the world, you couldn't help but feel disturbed. There were hardly any regular humans left; those remaining were the Keys, enhanced and tasked with slaughtering anyone outside during the current moment.

You managed to escape that lifestyle, constantly working with barely any rations, but you knew the risks of running off, which is why you went to one of the least occupied areas of the city.

Even on this side of the city, there were plenty of dead bodies, bloodstains, and some Keys roaming around. You also, for some reason, couldn't help but feel like someone was watching your every move. Perhaps the cameras the Keymaster set up were spying on you, waiting for the perfect moment to send all of her troops after you, or maybe it was something else…

Turning the corner, your question was soon answered by the sound of something metal dropping behind you. Looking back, you were greeted with a synthetic, tall, and almost barbaric-looking creature, staring at you silently. It, or she, held a sword in its right hand, waiting for you to make one wrong move so it could use it. Later, this would be revealed to be a Hel model, but for now, you were left to decide what you would do next.
