Aurora's eyes quietly open. Her vision is blurry and her head feels unbalanced. She scans the room to find all the Androids gone, except for one. The intruder. He too wakes up in parallel with Aurora. The chains on their legs are unhooked but neither of them are thrilled to escape. The door is wide open with a dark chill seeping through the atmosphere of the room. That same feeling of when the intruder escaped through the Carter window. Aurora remains laying on the floor but the intruder gingerly stands. He stumbles but approaches Aurora, staring for a second, before offering his hand to help her up. They both arise and head towards the door, neither of them speaking. The door leads to an old Android CyberLife store that looks wrecked and abandoned. Stands that the Androids once stood are tipped over with glass and dirt scattered around the room. The windows shutters are down so the room is fairly dark. Both Aurora and the intruder are yet to see daylight. As they maneuver across the store, recovering their balance here and there, Aurora notices the front door shutter not fully closed. It lays a rest on what looks like a broken chair, keeping the shutter from fully closing. She kneels down to the floor and pulls the shutter up, revealing Whitechapel, riddled with Anti-Android propaganda and dead synthetics all across the street. It seems as if they both survived an apocalypse. It's dark outside, with light fires aflame around nearly every corner. Just as they both begin to head outside, a bright red and blue siren shines near the store. It's from a big military vehicle scanning all the nearby roads. Aurora raises her leg to mount over the chair blocking the storefront, in attempts to catch the soldiers attention to ask for help. When all of a sudden the intruder grabs Aurora's arm. Aurora sharply turns to look at the Android. He shakes his head and moves his finger towards his lips creating a hush sound.

"They can help us" Aurora states.

The Android just glances back at Aurora, slowly shaking his head.

"Peacemakers" he whispers.

Aurora looks back towards the street as the military vehicle fades away into the distance.

"We must find Unity" He states

Aurora just stares at the Android. Something beams in her programme to trust him.

"What's your name?" Aurora asks

He hesitates.

"Aiden..."
