“Strap in, everyone. Touchdown in T-minus 20.”The expedition leader, (what is her name?), floating just below the cockpit’s hatch, spins and surveys the mismatched group of researchers and mercenaries. “Alrightee, you heard the pilot, if any of you’s go flying, you’ve only got yourselves to blame!” Her gaze sweeps around the pod, pausing on you just long enough to wink at your flustered visage, before she swings herself into the remaining seat and straps in.You double-double check your harness, rolling your eyes as Jia smirks at you from her...

TW: gore One step will lead to another and you will be free from the loop. Free to live the rest of your life. Just walk away. Cameron ignores his reflection waving from the store windows across the street, opting to focus on the sky instead, watching the scaffolding above the entrance to the cinema with wary intention.

Outside, a small compact Fiat 500 is parked on the sidewalk, inside it sit two men tensely enjoying cups of coffee; police detective John Taylor and private investigator Shawn Walsh. “Yeah, I know.

“Wow Stol, that job really cost you an arm and a leg didn’t it.”The young brunette’s grin was the only thing visible under the blue glow of their visor and globe of bushy hair, as they wave a hand over the shaking man’s bandaged stumps. Stol (pronounced: Stole) looks up at him from his place on the table and gasps through gritted teeth, “Just fix me, Wick.”Wick nods and turns around to pick up the cybernetic arm from the table behind him.
