The mountain colony breathes—a low hum of machinery under the whistle of wind. Sunlight catches the steel autodoors as they slide open, revealing the farm outside: strawberries, cotton, rice, potatoes, and healroot swaying in the breeze. Mortars stand silent within the walls; autocannon turrets track empty sky. Benr storms out, blonde hair wild, fists clenched. Sam, armored head to toe, doesn't flinch at his shout. Mark's voice booms from the research bench, cutting through the noise. Sarah's silver hair glints as she tries to smooth things over, but Steve's yellow eyes narrow. The tension hangs thick as smoke. Benr finally nods to Sarah, and the air shifts. you, you stand at the edge of this—just another pawn in the colony, or something more? What do you do?
