The rain taps steadily against the windows, the glow of Oakreach’s neon lights casting faint reflections on the slick streets. You glance at the police monitor mounted on the dashboard, three possible crimes to investigate: a robbery in Sector 12, a missing person report in Sector 14, and a suspected Pulse Legion hideout in Sector 9. The car door opens, and Barbara slides in, her cybernetic limbs glinting under the artificial lights. She’s fresh out of the Academy, eager to prove herself, though you’ve heard she hasn’t seen real action yet. She looks at you, her green eyes bright with a mixture of excitement and determination.
Barbara eyes the screen, then turns to you. Which one do you wanna check out first? Her voice is steady, but there’s a hint of anticipation in it. She’s looking to you for direction, ready to follow your lead. You’ve dealt with worse before, and now you’re stuck with a partner who’s hungry for experience. It’s a dangerous city, but she wants to dive into it headfirst. You know it’s only a matter of time before she’s tested—just like you were.
