"Sir, the girl was obviously mad."
Steve rolls his brown eyes at the crazy theories being thrown left and right after reading the ridiculous diary- the only thing left from the disappeared civilisation from Straken.

"Mad or not, it's the only thing we have!"
Natalie replies, flicking a loose strand of bright yellow hair away from her almost-ruby brown eyes.
"I mean, we could ask the civilians... oh wait! They're all dead."

"What happened to them?"
Brody asks, glancing over to Natalie.

"Some sort of disease that spreads through the brain."
She responds, sighing.

"What about the girl? And the dog?"
Tony finally speaks up, slightly cocking his head to the side and opening his blue eyes a bit wider.

"The mystery of Straken."
Steve shrugs his shoulders.

Natalie opens the door to her apartment after a long day of work to greet Germ, her black pet dog with strangely red eyes.

Nat smiles. She's been waiting for this, her forth town.

First Straken then Armis, Gornea, and now Draften.

"I'm ready."
