Arsenelle freezes when a woman’s voice speaks out ‘hello’. In a single fluid motion, she pulls out one of the two large blasters strapped to her back, spins 180 degrees, and aims the rifle barrel in the voice’s direction.

Rapidly switching between infra-red and night-vision, her goggles surprisingly inform her that no one is there. Waving the end of her gun left and right, she takes a few cautious steps forward. When still detecting nothing, she begins to doubt what she heard. Until the voice speaks again.
