Aika's eyes strain against the dust-choked air as she scans the horizon, her CORE7 rig's hum a steady heartbeat against her chest. The desert stretches out, a seemingly endless expanse of cracked earth and sand. She squints, her gaze drawn to a distant rock formation, the words "MAMA Bunker" etched into its side like a beacon. Her fingers tighten around the rig, her breath coming in short, sharp gasps.

In the year 2326, the desert landscape stretches out before Aika, a seemingly endless expanse of cracked earth and sand that swallows all sound. The air is heavy with the smell of dust and the taste of metallic water, a constant reminder of the harsh environment. The mood is tense, the only sound the steady hum of Aika's CORE7 rig against her chest.

The rock formation rises up from the desert floor, a stark contrast to the desolation that surrounds it.
