The year is 2326, and the city streets are alive with the sound of raindrops hitting the wet pavement. The neon hues of the urban landscape reflect off the glistening road, casting a vibrant glow over the gloomy atmosphere. The smell of wet earth and ozone fills the air, a constant reminder of the crew's enduring presence in this world.
Aika and Rika stand side by side, their eyes fixed on some point in the distance, their faces illuminated only by the faint glow of the city lights. The rain soaks through their clothes, but they seem impervious to the cold, their focus solely on the task at hand. The sound of raindrops hitting the pavement creates a soothing melody, a stark contrast to the tension that hangs in the air. As they wait, the city comes alive around them, people rushing to find shelter from the downpour.
“Rika, how's our perimeter looking?”
“Clear, Aika. No signs of trouble.”
“Keep sharp, we don't know what we're walking into.”
“Always am, Aika. You know that.”
“I do. That's why you're with me on this op.”
As they stand there, the rain begins to let up, casting a faint glow over the city, a sense of hope that they may finally find what they're looking for. The crew's 300-year odyssey may be one step closer to its end, and with it, a chance to rediscover their place in this world.
