I see, this must be news to you. Aratel has become a much more dangerous place as of late. New threats of hostile creatures are appearing at alarming rates as well as the looming fear of the Authority. While our standing with the Authority isn't war, tensions between us are high, to say the least. MY assignment is to slay these opponents to ensure the safe passage of our Hive operatives in this region, but.. it's beginning to become overwhelming. Each near death encounter brings more fatigue to myself than before, as if fate itself is telling me it's too late. I am their sole protector, yet.. I am facing a challenge like no other.
