(Setting) A perfectly unassuming, completely ordinary alley
| (Shepherd will join you soon)
|
| >A scruffy looking young cat boomer strolls towards the entrance. She takes note of the odd yellow ball and follows the beam of light into the darkness
| >A soft whisper from around the corner.
"...do this, you..."
| >in an instant her hand meets the grip of her handgun and she steadily draws it, eyes darting over her surroundings, paying close attention to the corner
| >The girl flicks on her phone after a few moments of contemplation she starts going back the way she came
| >The whispering continues, repeating the same line.
"...do this, you..."
"...do this, you..."
"...do this, you..."
>As it nears, it becomes a little more clear...
"...why do this, you who-"
| >without hesitation the girl fires at the figure, quickly backpedeling
"well fuck"
| >The figure stops in place as the bullet hits its mark.
>In the shadow, you still can't exactly see who or what it is.
>Then it starts shambling again, repeating its phrase.
"Why do this, you whore?"
"Why do this, you whore?"
"Why do this, you whore?"
"Why do this, you whore?"
>It pops into the light- a large man, barechested, with nothing but his boxers. A large set of bite marks on his neck. His grey cyber eyes looking everywhere but at you, spiraling in their eye sockets.
| >He shambles toward you!
| >The girl darting backwards, trying to watch her back the best she can as she discharges her gun once again
"I really want to fuck up the asshole who thought Techno zombies were a good idea"
| >The shot glances off the creature's head, blowing off parts of the deceased's datajack! They continue to shamble in the direction of the gun discharge!
"Why do this, you whore?"
"Why do this, you whore?"
"Why do this, you whore?"
"Why do this, you whore?"
| >The girl discharges twice. The entrance to the alley coming into sight
"almost there!"
| >The creature continues its shamble, now sporting a few bullet holes in its chest, which don't seem to have hindered it at all! Thankfully its slow gait means that you quickly manage to outdistance it, at least...
| >The girl discharges another shot and dashes past the threshold of the threshold of the alley and turns the corner, gritting her teeth
| >You listen for any further noises...
>...Nothing?
| >The girl stays on high alert. Not trusting the erie silence as she heads towards the flooded district

| >The setting is... exactly what it says on the tin. A perfectly unassuming, completely normal alley. The only unusual element here is the yellow ball on the ground in front of the entrance, which is emitting a thin beam of cyan energy into the alley. Stenciled on the ball, in large black letters, are the words "TETHER UNIT".
