(Setting) The Flooded District
| >A loud firefight breaks out about a mile away from the distortion. It sounds mostly one-sided, just a storm of automatic fire.
>Then a single, loud shot can be heard. Then, after a short interval, another. And another. And another.
>Then silence.

>Several black drones fly into Flooded airspace and pass the distortion to investigate the scene of the dying fire fight just as it's last few shots ring out. These cameras were careful to fly at odd angles and stick to shady cover.

>Soon drones see what appears to be a typical ambush scene. Four mercs in armor lacking any markings, lie on the ground. Each one is finished with a single, clean shot to the head.
>It looks like they were shooting back, as multiple walls are filled with bullet holes. Judging by the lack of blood or bodies, whoever they shot at left unscathed.
| >A figure decloaks nearby the corpses and detach their armor and chromes.
"Tch. Typical Russian hardware. Dissappointing."
>Noticing the clean shots on the mercs, the figures quickly cloaks a second later and quickly moves away quickly before anyone notices.
