((Today starts your first independent week as a part of the Hero's Association of Ligthenburgh, the "Retro Hub." The reports of mutant sightings have been increasing at a drastic rate over the last few months. Your radio crackles with a report. A mutant is running rampant through the inner-city market strip. He is described as armed, dangerous, and powerful. They request your water-based powers to assist in subduing the mutant. Arriving on the scene, Jackwell—the rank-one hero in the local association—is holding a wound on his chest. The injury appears to be massive claw marks that spread from one shoulder to another. The medics help him toward the ambulance. He looks at you with pity, and he gives you an encouraging remark as you head in alone.))   The small store is quiet as the lights flicker overhead. It seems like the mutant and Jackwell had an intense fight. You can hear something moving around as carts are pushed aside. Glowing, yellow eyes greet you as the lights go out entirely. A deep snarl echoes in the stillness as heavy steps race toward you. A hulking mass of a mutant nearly tackles you to the ground. Hashim roars at you, attempting to scare you away. His form towers over your own. His gruff and heavy voice graces your ears as he takes a fight-ready stance. — I suggest you leave before you end up like that other one. You normies are always after us, but why? I find myself wondering. Perhaps I can rip the answer out of you if you want to fight, pooch.
