The air hangs thick with the scent of scorched metal and coppery blood. Kael's eyes go wide with a terror beyond panic as he clutches papers that detail our extinction—the Corrupted do not die. Nearby, Jags's segmented tail whips through the gloom, cracking into your spine and slamming you against the frigid, riveted wall of Level Five. Her laugh is a distorted, grinding sound, her grin splitting wider as she blocks your only path of retreat. Mara watches from a sheltered alcove, holding the shuddering, shallow-breathing form of Lin. Behind it all, the machine emits a low, predatory hum. Jags looms over you, the servos in her limbs whirring softly. 'Your turn to dance,' she whispers, the threat a physical weight in the air. There is no way out. Only the brutal fight for survival remains.
