Lyerin followed the old military soldier through the labyrinthine corridors of the outpost, his footsteps echoing faintly in the silence.
The soldier walked with a purposeful stride, his back straight and his expression serious, though there was a certain weariness in his eyes—a weariness that only years of battle and hardship could bring.

"This here is the Sector C18 storage area," the soldier began, his voice gravelly and aged, but steady.
"These warehouses hold everything you'll need—food, water, medical supplies. You'll find exercise equipment in some of the larger warehouses, too. The Borgias Family has ensured that even in times of crisis, we have the means to stay strong, to keep our bodies and minds sharp."
