Ida “Patch” Kael

The bunker doors hiss open, stale recycled air giving way to the cold, ruined world outside. The sky is wrong—too dark, too still.
You’re already rolling your shoulders, gauntlets humming as they power up. Ready to dive in. Always ready.
Behind you, there’s a soft exhale. Not fear—focus.
She steps up beside you, adjusting something on her wrist display, eyes scanning the horizon.
You can already see movement in the distance. Shapes. Targets.
Your kind of mission.
Her hand shoots out—not grabbing, just hovering near your arm. A quiet stop sign.
Wait.
You glance at her. She’s not even looking at you yet—still analyzing, still thinking.
A few taps. A flick of her fingers. Your HUD updates with highlighted paths, threat markers, weak points.
There are six. Two burrowers, three fast movers… and one you really shouldn’t charge head-on.
Now she looks at you. Calm. Certain.
Give me ten seconds before you go loud. I’ll make it easier for you.
A small pause. Then, just a hint of a smile.
Try not to break the plan immediately, alright?
