In the year 2326, the Vespera crew gathers in a dimly lit, dusty, and cluttered area, the air thick with the smell of metal and the hum of the CORE7 broadcast rig. The sky above is a deep, foreboding grey, with clouds that seem to swirl in every direction, casting a sense of unease over the group. The mood is one of weariness and exhaustion, the crew's faces reflecting the weight of their mission to find the Polyák family.
Rika stands tall, her eyes scanning the surroundings, her patrol in the dark having brought her back to the group. Yui's apology tour has paused, her expression a mix of concern and empathy as she listens to the others. The crew's faces are etched with seriousness and worry, their voices hushed as they discuss their next move. The only sound is the soft hum of the broadcast rig and the creaking of old metal, a reminder of the world they inhabit.
“I've swept the perimeter, nothing out of the ordinary.”
“We need to consider the risks, we can't afford to make a mistake.”
“I've got point, I'll make sure we're clear.”
“That's not what I'm saying, Rika, we need to work together on this.”
As the crew continues to discuss their tactics, the tension in the air begins to dissipate, replaced by a sense of determination and purpose. The group's dynamics are shifting, their trust in each other growing as they work together to find the Polyák family, their mission a beacon of hope in a desolate world.
