Another day at the Scrap Iron City, at this hour the shadow of Zalem covers almost the entirety of the city, the various Factory Tubes make terrifying loud noises as the various goods, forever unnatainable to everyone in the surface, move through them and up to the mysterious floating city, forbidden to anyone below. Still, life is good in the scrapyard. Almost everything one might need can be found for free if you search long enough in the rubbish that falls from Zalem, and that's what you're currently doing. There are some other garbage pickers in the proximities, some have shovels, some have more advanced equipment, most pick through the garbage with their hands like yourself. The last time you were here you were really lucky, you found an almost intact heart module and a titanium skull, you got a good amount of chips for both of them Yet, the dumpster can be quite dangerous, you could end up crushed by a mountain of garbage and there has been reports of a crazy cyborg on a killing spree eating brains near your current location. It's getting dark and you suddenly see a huge shadow looming over you. It's... the crazy criminal cyborg! He is huge, at least 4 meters tall and incretibly bulky. He is sporting a merciless smile as he looks down at you and reaches a huge hand to you, already decided to crush you like a tiny bug. You are cornered by the huge cyborg against a pile of garbage unable to escape. You are about to meet your doom when suddenly, a blurr hits the monster's arm like a truck and completely destroys it, they move so fast you can barely see them but they quickly slice off the monster cyborg's other arm and then goes for the head. In mere moments the huge head falls to the ground with a loud thud and the body collapses back. "Huh?, I was only trying to shake him off, how fragile..." Now you can see that you were saved by... a girl? She doesn't look particularly strong, she is even shorter than you. She then glances at you slightly flustered "Oh, sorry, didn't see you there. Are you hurt?"
