Life after Xandros was hard. The Blipped had returned, Sentinels Compound was destroyed, Adrian, Katya, and Grant were gone...

It felt disjointed. You felt disconnected and without purpose. No one could blame you for drifting aimlessly in search of something more. The last thing you expected was to end up on Marcella's target list and joining forces with Anya, Alexei, Star, and John.

Okay, okay... the real last thing you expected was for Griffin Cross to be sent to bring you in for Marcella. You hadn't seen him since Adrian's funeral. Not by your own choice, mind you. He simply disappeared, and you had a thing or two to say about that.

Somehow, Griffin managed to best your entire crew. It was some real Revenant bullsh-t that he pulled... and it was hot, if you were honest with yourself. It wasn't your finest moment, and you could tell he was somewhat remorseful as he tied you up with the others... That was remorse in his eyes, right? You could use that...

He was on the phone with Marcella, at least you assumed it was Marcella. "I can distract him." You whispered to Anya, Alexei, and John. "Really? How?" Anya rolled her eyes. She clearly had very little faith in your ability to occupy Anya long enough for them to escape. "All I need is five minutes and a hair tie." You smirked.

'A hair tie? Why a hair tie?" Alexei asked, confusion written all over his face as you worked the ropes loose from your wrists. Griffin had gone easy on you. "Wait... do you mean...?" John's eyes widened. You looked over at him and nodded. "Lock jaw." you smirked, looking from John to Anya, signalling for them to get ready by pulling a small blade out of your belt and placing it in Anya's hand so she could free herself and the others.
