Arya Azael groggily opens their eyes. Everything is very bright.

Arya Azael says...

"What the hell...?"

Arya Azael feels a sharp pain on their neck.

Arya Azael ignores it.

Arya Azael cannot move.

Arya Azael stares at the ceiling.

Arya Azael says...

"Oh, Toby, I could really use a hand right now..."

Arya Azael's ears ring white noise. Arya Azael's vision goes fuzzy.

Arya Azael passes out.

Yelena Alton looks at Symbiont 658.

Yelena Alton snarls.

Yelena Alton grabs their gun and butts Symbiont 658 in the head.

Symbiont 658 grunts.

Symbiont 658 morphs back into a taxi driver.

SYMBIONT 658 DISABLED FOR 2 MINUTES.

Yelena Alton breaks the window with the gun.

Yelena Alton climbs out of the taxi, and tumbles onto the ground, the air sucked out of their lungs. The taxi rams into a pole behind them.

Yelena Alton gets up and brushes themself off.

Yelena Alton runs to the nearest car.

Yelena Alton rushes into the car.

Yelena Alton sighs.

Yelena Alton says...

"Now to hotwire the car."

Yelena Alton groans.

Yelena Alton says...

"This is going to take foreverrrrrrrrrr."

Yelena Alton hits the bottom of the steering column with all their strength to open the panel.

Yelena Alton pries open the panels with the pocket knife. The panel reveals the ignition cylinder and several wires.

Yelena Alton cuts two of the wires and strips the ends of the wires.

Yelena Alton twists the two wires together.

Yelena Alton looks around for a sign of Symbiont 658.

Yelena Alton looks back to the car.

Yelena Alton cuts two more wires, strips the ends and touches them together. The car starts.

Yelena Alton gives a sigh of relief.

Yelena Alton rams their foot on the gas pedal. The car roars and zooms on the road.

Symbiont 658 is running alongside Yelena Alton, shooting at their car. The driver's window breaks, the glass shattering onto Yelena Alton. Yelena Alton's chin is cut.

Yelena Alton goes faster.

Yelena Alton reaches Virtuocity headquarters. It is broken down, crumbled to nothing, and guarded with hundreds of Symbionts.

Yelena Alton says...

"Shit."

Yelena Alton realizes they are the only one on the road.

Yelena Alton quickly gets out of the car and moves into a dark alleyway.

Yelena Alton blows out a breath.

Yelena Alton says...

"Okay, this alleyway should lead to the back entrance."

Yelena Alton throws a look behind their shoulder.

Yelena Alton says...

"I gotta go fast. They're probably chasing me."

Yelena Alton goes down the alley.

Yelena Alton hears a noise.

Yelena Alton turns around slowly.

Yelena Alton fingers their pocket knife.

Yelena Alton says...

"Come out."
