Citizen Hill

Diagnostic complete read across Citizen's GUI vision. Neuro-receptors 92%. Citizen stood and rotated her head on her neck, stretching her stiff muscles. It had been two full days since they had survived the battle in the city, thanks to Nev Meechum.

"The riots are still going. The Feds don't know what to do. A lot of people have been talking about Elysium. We expect the numbers to grow in the underground."

"The lines are saying the Federation Troops have finally quit staffing Sector 8 and have pulled back, creating a perimeter. Most of the civilians are out now."

"So, the Trolls are still attacking?"
