"Kim, a night security guard working at Throne Group Science Complex wakes up in an improvised emergency operating room. She remembers multiple hostiles opening fire on the staff, everything fading to black as rounds hammer into her chest.. and finally voices: 'Massive trauma.. need artificial circulation.. prepare the nanobot injection now!'"
