Just wanted to give y'all something to read. Enjoy!

(P.S., if you have not seen gameplay or played the game, there's some spoilers)

Faith hid in between the wall and a tall set of drawers and computer systems. The unknown man stood over the keyboard, downloading something to his drive. Just then, two scientists ran into the room, spotting the other scientist that's out cold on the floor. The two took out the mystery man, causing him to drop the drive. It slides close to Faith, so she seeks a good opportunity to grab it and run.

She's been spotted and identified. She just needed to get one bit of information on her own drive, and now, god knows what she's gotten herself into.

Faith sprints through the halls of Elysium Labs, the alarms have gone off and K-Sec is hot on her trail. Another person has the same idea. She pauses briefly, watching what they'll do. They put their own driv into one of their pockets and sprint out, nearly crashing into her, spinning around and dashing the other way; the same way Faith is going. She sprints through the office area following the other intruder to the elevator shaft, and enters, climbing down. She exits on the floor she entered on and climbs through the ventilation shafts to her exit. The mystery intruder slips out the window and Faith follows.

"Wait!" She calls after the person, starting to chase after them.

They turn briefly to her but keep going. They dash across the rooftops, jumping from building to building, hurdling ventilation systems and ducking below pipes. Faith recognizes the route their taking and detours, hoping to intercept them. She goes the other way, through an open door, making her way to the other side of the building. Her guess was correct as the person runs right into her. She grabs them, hoping to ask a few questions as to why they were after. The person struggles and rips their jacket off their arms, leaving it with Faith, taking off again across a skybridge. Faith didn't see much of their face, as it was covered by a half mask, but she noted their H/L, H/C hair, blowing in the wind as they take off down the way.

"Wait!" Faith attempts to yell once more.

The both of them come to a chasm, a crane hook hanging in the middle of the two buildings, much too far away to jump to. The person leaps into the air and deploys their MAG, swinging to the next building. They turn around as if to taunt Faith, standing defiantly. Faith deploys her own MAG and starts to swing over. The person runs yet again, afraid of their pursuer.

"Please! I just want to ask some questions!" Faith yells.

The mysterious runner has disappeared into the city rooftops, Faith gives up the pursuit.

•••

Noah starts to call into the BeatLink, static breaking his words up. Something about a raid. Faith contacts Icarus, and they both race from their current positions to their runners lair.

•••

You hear the gunshots and mini explosions and enter the foreign runners lair, finding it swarmed with K-Sec officers and personnel. You take the first few small groups out, making your way to the center of the lair, Noah's office. There you find the K-Secs taking turns using Noah as a punching bag, since she won't comply with them. You wallrun and kick one of the Enforcers, knocking him into a Protector. You then advance on the Protector, but the remaining K-Sec officers quickly take you down, the majority being Shock Protectors, Enforcers, and a sentinel. They bring you to your knees, forcing you to comply with their commands. You struggle under their grip but they beat you, making you crumple. They finally gain full control of you and drag you to one of their VTOL's. You catch a glimpse of the mysterious runner who chased you from Elysium Labs, before the doors close.

Faith takes out the K-Secs, Icarus joining her before they have to take off again, splitting up and heading to Black November's lair for shelter. Along the way, Faith encounters Birdman, she asks him about the mysterious runner she encountered.

"Ahh, Phantom. One of the most slippery and secretive runners out there. Others may not know, but they're the one gathering most of the groups intel on KrugerSec, allowing them to devise their next plan. They're never an enemy to us runners, they never choose a side, except to stand with the runners against KrugerSec. They've helped me with my birds quite often, they're very weary and cautious though, so chasing after them wasn't a wise idea." He explains. "Who knows, you might just see them again in the upcoming events. I suggest you book along to Rebecca's lair. Go, before K-Secs find you."

Ehhhh, kinda crap but idk what else to write. I recently got this game for Christmas and I'm obsessed. Please help my gay soul.
