[8:45pm]
The first siren didn't sound like an alarm.
It sounded like the city itself screaming.
WOOOOMMMMM…!
A low, metallic howl rolled across the skyline of Neo Solace, vibrating through steel towers and holographic billboards alike as the entire outer ring of the Megacity came to life!
The glowing advertisements that moments ago painted the night in neon pinks and electric blues suddenly flickered red.
[FEDERATION EMERGENCY PROTOCOL ACTIVE!]
[Outer Ring Districts 1-6 Under Lockdown, Effective Immediately!]
[Citizens Are To Remain Indoors!]
[All SIN-less Found Outside Are To Be Shot On Sight!]
VROOM!
The sky and land in the outer district exploded with motion!
And as if mourning the death of an Earl, at that moment, the neon clouds in the sky opened their mouth, unleashing a torrent of acid rain on the city.
Rain poured from the polluted neon heavens in silver sheets, hissing against overheated pavements and chrome rooftops as the chase for the assassins began.
