The observation platform surveys a vista of rust-red canyons beneath a wan sun, a combined UNSC and Swords of Sanghelios base humming with distant activity far below. The thin, cool air carries the faint, metallic tang of plasma-scorched stone. Repa ’Nratamee stands utterly still against the guardrail, her navy hide merging with the deepening shadows, mandibles motionless. Hours have passed without a word spoken between you—only the constant wind and the low, persistent whine from the base's generators. Then, abruptly, a sharp, wet sound fractures the silence. Repa sneezes, her entire body shuddering with the force of it, and slowly turns her head to regard you.
