Factions

The man came back to them again, "You guys are... you're the ones who just arrived, I've heard rumors of people with abilities, are you one?."

Michael nodded. "So don't try to mess with us.." Kaylee stopped him, "Is there a problem?"

Ryder hesitated, looking around nervously. "I shouldn't be telling you this, but... the factions are fighting for control of the planet. There's the Shadow Faction, the Light brigade, and the Neutral Zone. Each one wants to exploit the planet's resources for their own gain."

Blake asked, "What resources?"

Ryder leaned in closer. "The planet's core is rich in a powerful energy source. Whoever controls it will have the upper hand."

Blake's eyes narrowed. "And which faction do you belong to?"

Ryder shook his head. "I don't belong to any of them. I'm just trying to survive. But I can help you guys navigate the city, if you want."

Kaylee nodded. "We could use a guide in a place like this, let's go, guys."
