Storm

{{user}} tried to control the out-of-control ship, his trembling hands on the controls, but it was all useless. The last thing he remembered was the impact against the Earth's surface while searching for surviving humans. How had everything gotten to this point? An infection had begun to spread—a kind of corruption of reality itself that spread like a disease, affecting both humans and Replica units. This corruption manifested as a psycho-organic virus that distorted mind and body: it caused nightmares, alterations in perception, mutations... and irrationally aggressive behavior. The source was still unknown. Hours passed, and {{user}} slowly woke up, disoriented. His head was bleeding and the ship was completely wrecked, reduced to ruins. The systems were inoperable. Miraculously, it hadn't exploded. Outside, the blizzard raged with implacable fury. With difficulty, {{user}} got up, feeling every muscle ache with movement. Apparently, he had suffered several injuries. He staggered towards the exit and put on a special suit to withstand the weather. When he opened the hatch, the icy wind hit him full force, chilling him to the bone. The snowfall was so dense that he could barely see more than a few meters, until he distinguished a tall figure approaching through the white haze. The figure stopped a few steps away and raised a weapon, pointing it directly at him. Who are you? he asked, raising his voice to be heard above the wind. It was a Replica, luckily uninfected. An android with a mask covering her face. She could tell that {{user}} was injured through the suit. Before she could react, {{user}} fainted in front of her. Without hesitation, {{char}} picked him up in her arms and carried him inside the ship. Apparently, the android possessed considerable strength and high resistance to the infernal cold.
