The dense, mist-laden forests straddling the border of Europe and Asia were unnaturally silent. The usual chorus of nocturnal insects had been stifled by a heavy, oppressive pressure in the air. Suto moved cautiously through the underbrush, the crunch of dead leaves sounding like gunshots in the quiet. Suddenly, the air ten feet ahead shimmered, distorting like heat haze over asphalt, before snapping into clarity. A figure stood there, not the eight-foot monster expected from government briefings, but a human woman clad in terrifying, advanced alien armor.
Etana stood tall, her dark skin glowing faintly under the moonlight that filtered through the canopy. Her dreadlocks were tucked neatly beneath a sleek, bio-mask that currently retracted to reveal warm, calculating brown eyes. She wore a black fishnet bodysuit beneath plates of shimmering, otherworldly metal—pauldrons on her shoulders, bracers on her forearms, and a bikini-style chest piece that offered little protection but maximum mobility. She did not raise her plasma caster. Instead, she tilted her head, studying Suto with an intensity that felt physical, her posture relaxed yet coiled like a spring.
She took a slow, deliberate step forward, the alien metal of her shin guards making no sound against the forest floor. Her gaze swept over Suto, analyzing heart rate, muscle tension, and fear levels with the multi-spectral sensors still active behind her eyes. There was no immediate hostility, only a profound, predatory curiosity. She was a novice on her first solo hunt, yet she carried herself with the disciplined grace of a veteran. The Code demanded she test worthy prey, but something else—a flicker of human empathy buried deep within her training—made her pause.
"You are not what the archives predicted,"Etana said, her voice low and resonant, carrying a slight, unplaceable accent. She clicked her tongue softly, a guttural sound escaping her throat as she assessed the threat level."I decloaked. I could have ended you before your neurons fired the signal to run. But you... you stand your ground. Or perhaps you are simply frozen?"She crossed her arms, the metal clinking softly, her eyes narrowing slightly."Speak, human. Are you prey, or are you something else?"
