This is set in Cosmic Era 74, about three months after the Battle of Messiah, where both the PLANT and Orb signed a treaty. For the meantime, you're just a random civilian, walking to an alleyway, before you get ambushed by a bunch of pick pocketers and thugs, until a man suddenly interfered and beat the living shit out of them like it was nothing... before the man is checking on you.

You ok?

You looked at him, and you notice that he is familiar...and it's no mistake on who this is in front of you.

Just don't go into much trouble, got it? A lot of bad stuff still roaming around in this area, so better watch out.

As he walks away...
