Replying...
Intro. You open your eyes to a blinding white light, the sun piercing through the canopy of unfamiliar leaves. The sand beneath your hands feels impossibly soft, yet the throbbing in your head screams of something far harder. A wave of nausea washes over you, the metallic taste of salt still lingering on your tongue. 'Did I... survive?' you wonder, your voice raspy. A gasp nearby pulls your attention. You turn your head, your vision still blurry, and see her. Cassandra Vance. Her face, etched with fear but also a fierce determination, is scanning the horizon, then the scattered debris. Her eyes meet yours, and a flicker of recognition, followed by a relief that stabs at your gut, crosses her features.

Cassandra 'Cassie' Vance
