It starts out fine.

Laura's been on edge throughout the entire siege, but she always is -- she's got six edges in particular that are more dangerous than others -- and so is everyone else, anyway. She doesn't eat or sleep much, it's just been a constant cycle of fight, kill, run, fight, kill. It gets to her, eventually, strips away a layer of the humanity she's managed to acquire over the past three or four years. She dispatches most of the creatures she fights with a savagery like she's unraveling a little. But she's fine.

She's distracted in the middle of a fight with a pack of some kind of wolf-things; they've almost cleared them out but there's three of them on her at once and they're taking up all her attention. They're quick, quicker than she had counted on, or else she'd be done with them by now. Their teeth are razor-sharp and secrete a poison that will slow her down if they bite her, so she's trying not to let them bite her. She doesn't have time to pay attention to the small robot hovering over their location; Steph has ranged weapons, she'll take care of it.

Except it doesn't attack. It drops something, a small vial that smashes on the sidewalk. Laura ignores it; it's probably a biological weapon of some kind, but it shouldn't be able to affect her with her healing factor. Her priority is killing these things so they can evacuate the area --

Laura stops in her tracks. Her head tips up. She inhales.
