Sounds of huffing deep breaths and crunching leaves can be heard across the forest, “Did… did we lose them?” Wild shot asks as she sits down laying on a moldy tree stump. Ghost Siren twists her head across every direction, still gasping for breath, “Yeah… I think we’re safe”. Captain Liberty regroups with the two of them, “We’re going to be alright, the android right now is distracting them” Captain Liberty sits down next to Wild Shot. “I’m assuming we’re out of water”, Captain Liberty asks and Ghost Siren silently nods giving him the cold shoulder as he’s the reason they’re running for their lives because of his fatal actions. As the group catches their breath the android lands down gently on the ground and reports back to the group, “I drove the Syndicate miles away from us and is currently distracted by a horde of the undead but after a quick glance around there is still blocking all the exits to”. Ghost Siren sighs as she places her hand over her eyes not knowing what to do next, “Those guys are never going to leave us alone” “And that’s why we should stop running and finish this” Captain Liberty says as he stands up to share his opinion. “They are a threat to us and we must handle it, they're not going to let us walk free”, Captain Liberty says but Ghost Siren still runs down all of their options.
