LIGHT'EM UP! [1/2]

Once again, I slammed into the ground in another force teleportation. This time, however, I wasn't alone. With me was the entire 2nd Amendment squad. 

Because of my stronger body, I was able to recover faster than the others. Angela was noticeably helping her husband up while everyone else was still on the ground groaning in pain.

The lighting was poor as usual, but was manageable once our eyes adjusted to the soft glow of the starless sky. 

I looked around, half expecting someone to introduce me to this place. Sadness crept into my heart as I remembered that my constant companion, Aira, was no longer present. 

Using {Connect} I tried to find the defender's network to join. It was like searching for a floating symbol in the air. I intuitively felt one close and connected. 

After finding an open socket, I downloaded the current situation. But instead of a warm welcoming voice, I received only text.
