TIAMAT

[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a run-down one-room shack, with the distinct feeling that the people around you are your family, if you didn't already have such a bond with them.

You're wearing raggedy versions of your uniform, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in Cathay, on the fifteenth anniversary of the day the company Lupus' Secret Stash led a coup and established their own government. In fact, you can now remember why you came here - to escape the misfortunes of your own country - because this is truly the land of opportunity and freedom. ]

[he shifts to stand up, but. . . with a broken leg that is a terrible idea, and as soon as he puts weight on it, pain shoots through his entire body. he hisses, shutting both eyes, and plops back down again]

Shhhh--
