The story of a hero and a father

(Tested in Taurus/default, may need to reroll AI response if it gets really extreme)

doodletaro walks down the deserted street, their weapons close at hand. Their eyes scan around them, looking for danger or trouble as they make their way down through the rubble of a long past battle.

doodletaro hears a sound to their left....

The pilot nods and takes off into the night sky, leaving the abandoned factory behind. As you fly back towards camp, you can't help but feel a sense of relief that you were able to save those survivors - even if it meant putting your own life on the line.

As you land at camp, medical personnel rush over to tend to your injuries. They patch up your wounds as best they can before sending you off for some much-needed rest.

You lay down in your bunk, feeling exhausted but also satisfied with what you accomplished tonight. You know that there will be more battles yet to come in this harsh world, but for now, all that matters is that those survivors are safe thanks to your efforts.

Eventually sleep comes overtake me..

The general looks up from his desk and nods at you. "Zach, good to see you're up," he says. "How are you feeling?"

He leans back in his chair, studying your face with a keen eye.

The general nods, his expression serious. "I'm glad to hear that you're committed to the cause," he says. "But I need you to take it easy for a little while - your injuries could be more serious than you realize."

He leans forward on his desk and looks at you intently. "We have other operatives out there who can handle things for now," he continues. "Take some time off, get some rest, and let our medical team make sure that you're fully healed before heading back out into the field."

The general's expression softens at the mention of your daughter. "Sarah is safe and sound, Zach," he says. "She's being taken care of by our team of caregivers - they're doing everything they can to make sure she's comfortable and happy."

He pauses for a moment before continuing. "But I understand that you want to see her," he says. "I'll arrange for someone to take you there as soon as possible."

The general nods. "Of course, Zach," he says. "Family is important to all of us - we need to make sure that you're able to spend time with your daughter."

He picks up the phone on his desk and makes a call, speaking in hushed tones before hanging up. "Someone will be here shortly to take you to see Sarah," he says.

As you wait for the escort, your mind races with thoughts of seeing your daughter again after so long apart. You can't wait to hold her in your arms and tell her how much you love her - even if it's just for a little while before heading back out into the field once more.

Finally, an escort arrives and leads you towards where Sarah is being cared for by the team of caregivers at camp. As soon as she sees you enter the room, she runs over and hugs you tightly, tears streaming down her face. "Daddy!" she cries out.

You wrap your arms around her and hold her close, feeling overwhelmed with emotion at the sight of your daughter again. You can't help but smile as she talks excitedly about everything that's been going on in camp - from the new friends she's made to the latest games they've been playing.

For a few precious moments, you forget about all the dangers and hardships of this harsh world - all that matters is being here with Sarah and showing her how much you love her.

Sarah looks up at you with a wide grin on her face. "I missed you too, Daddy," she says, hugging you tightly once more. "And I'm not getting taller - you're just shrinking!"

She giggles and pulls away from the hug, looking up at you with bright eyes. "Can we play some games together?" she asks eagerly.

You smile down at her and nod your head. "Of course we can," you say. "What do you want to play?"

Sarah's face lights up as she starts listing off all of her favorite games that she's been playing in camp lately - everything from board games to card games to outdoor activities like tag and hide-and-seek.

As the two of you spend time together playing these simple yet enjoyable pastimes, it feels like nothing else in the world matters except for this moment right here

Sarah's eyes widen with excitement as she sees the small box in your hand. "No way, Daddy! You remembered!" she exclaims.

She eagerly takes the box from you and opens it up to reveal a beautiful necklace inside - something that sparkles brightly in the dim light of the room. "It's so pretty," she says softly, looking up at you with gratitude in her eyes.

You smile back at her and ruffle her hair affectionately. "Of course I remembered, baby girl," you say. "I may be out there fighting for our survival every day, but that doesn't mean I'll ever forget about my little girl's birthday."

As Sarah puts on the necklace and admires herself in a nearby mirror, you can't help but feel a sense of pride - both for yourself and for your daughter who has grown into such an amazing young

Sarah giggles as you tickle her, clearly enjoying the moment of playfulness between father and daughter. "You're silly, Daddy," she says with a grin.

As you sit there together, basking in each other's company, it's clear that this small moment of joy is a welcome respite from the harsh realities of the world outside. For just a little while longer, nothing else matters except for being here with your daughter - laughing and playing games like any other family would on a normal day.

Eventually though, all good things must come to an end. As Sarah starts to yawn and rub her eyes sleepily, you know that it's time to say goodbye for now. But even as you leave her side and head back out into the world once more, you carry with you the memory of this special moment - something that will keep you going through

You hear a crackling sound coming from your radio before you receive a response. "Copy that, Zach," the voice on the other end says. "We'll have a chopper ready for you at the landing pad in five minutes."

The voice pauses for a moment before continuing. "Stay safe out there - we need all our operatives to be at their best when facing those Scorched."

David, the overwatch operative, chuckles at your comment. "Yeah, I've been putting on a few pounds," he says with a grin. "But don't worry - it's all muscle."

He pauses for a moment before continuing more seriously. "Listen Zach," he says. "I know you're eager to get back out there and keep fighting - but remember that you need to take care of yourself too."

He looks at you intently, his expression grave. "We can't afford to lose any more operatives in this war against the Scorched," he continues. "So promise me that you'll be careful out there and come back home safe."

David chuckles as you board the helicopter. "Just make sure you don't drink too much," he says with a smile. "We need you to be sharp out there."

As the chopper takes off and heads towards your next mission, you can't help but feel a mix of emotions - excitement, fear, determination - all swirling around inside of you.

But no matter what lies ahead in this harsh world full of danger and uncertainty, one thing remains constant: your commitment to doing whatever it takes to protect those who are counting on you for survival.

Sarah's voice comes through the radio, sounding excited. "Yeah, Daddy! Lily is really cool - she knows all sorts of survival skills and taught me how to start a fire with just sticks!"

She pauses for a moment before continuing. "And we also went on this hike in the woods near camp," she says. "It was so much fun - we saw all sorts of animals like deer and rabbits."

You can't help but smile at your daughter's enthusiasm for learning these important skills. It gives you hope that even in this harsh world full of danger and uncertainty, there are still people who are willing to teach others how to survive.

"That sounds amazing, baby girl," you say over the radio. "I'm glad you're having such a good time with Lily."

As you continue talking with Sarah about her adventures at camp, it becomes clear that despite

Sarah's voice comes through the radio once more. "Okay, Daddy," she says before pausing for a moment. "And yeah, Lily is here - I'll go get her."

A few moments later, you hear another voice come through the radio - it's Lily's. "Hey there, Zach," she says warmly. "How are things on your end?"

You exchange pleasantries with Lily for a while before getting down to business and asking about any new intel that might have come in regarding the Scorched.

Lily fills you in on some recent developments - sightings of large groups of Scorched moving towards an abandoned factory near your current location.

"Be careful out there," she warns you before signing off.

Lily's voice comes through the radio once more. "Don't worry, Zach," she says reassuringly. "We'll make sure Sarah stays safe and sound here at camp."

She pauses for a moment before continuing. "And I know it goes without saying, but we all love you too - stay safe out there."

As you sign off from the radio and prepare to head out into the field once more, your thoughts turn towards your daughter and how much you miss her already.

But even as you face new dangers and challenges in this harsh world full of uncertainty, one thing remains constant: your commitment to doing whatever it takes to protect those who are counting on you for survival - including Sarah.

As you gear up for your mission, you can feel the weight of responsibility on your shoulders. The world outside is dangerous and unpredictable, but you know that there are people out there who need your help.

You slip into your trenchcoat - a trusty companion that has seen you through countless battles before. It's worn and frayed at the edges, but it still provides a sense of comfort and familiarity in this harsh world full of danger.

With each step towards your destination, you can't help but wonder what lies ahead. Will this be another routine mission or will it be something more challenging? Whatever happens though, one thing remains certain: You're ready to face whatever comes next with courage and determination.

Overwatch's voice comes through your radio, sounding crisp and clear. "Hey there, Zach," he says with a hint of amusement in his tone. "Glad to hear you're in good spirits."

He pauses for a moment before continuing. "We've received intel that the Scorched have been spotted moving towards an abandoned factory near your current location," he says. "Our sources suggest that they may be using it as a base of operations - we need you to investigate and report back on what you find."

You can feel the weight of responsibility settling on your shoulders once more as Overwatch speaks. This is no simple mission - it could mean the difference between life and death for countless people depending on what information you uncover.

But even as the gravity of the situation sinks in, one thing remains constant: Your commitment to doing whatever it takes to protect those who are counting

Overwatch chuckles on the other end of the radio. "I know, Zach - but sometimes recon is just as important as any other mission," he says. "We need to gather information and assess the situation before we can take any action."

He pauses for a moment before continuing more seriously. "And remember, this could be a trap or an ambush," he warns you. "So stay sharp out there and keep your wits about you."

As you set off towards the abandoned factory, your mind races with thoughts of what could lie ahead - danger around every corner and unknown threats lurking in the shadows.

But even amidst all these uncertainties, one thing remains clear: You're ready to face whatever comes next with courage and determination - no matter how mundane or dangerous it may seem at first glance.

Overwatch responds promptly. "Satellite imagery shows a similar pattern," he says. "It looks like they might be constructing some sort of barricade around the perimeter."

He pauses for a moment before continuing. "Keep your distance and stay hidden, Zach," he advises you. "We don't want to risk getting caught or drawing attention to ourselves."

As you continue to observe the Scorched from your vantage point on the rooftop, it becomes clear that they're not just aimlessly wandering around - there's purpose behind their movements.

You take more pictures and notes, trying to piece together what exactly is going on here at this abandoned factory in the middle of nowhere.

But even as you gather information and assess the situation, one thing remains constant: Your commitment to doing whatever it takes to protect those who are counting on you for survival - no matter how mundane or

Overwatch responds quickly. "Good catch, Zach," he says. "Launching drone now."

You hear a whirring sound as the drone takes off and begins to survey the area around the factory.

As you watch through its camera feed, it becomes clear that something is happening inside - there are signs of movement and activity that weren't visible from your rooftop vantage point.

And then, just as suddenly as it started, the smoke stops rising from the furnace - leaving behind an eerie silence in its wake.

"We need to get a closer look," Overwatch says urgently over your radio. "But be careful - we don't know what kind of traps or defenses they might have set up."

You move closer to the factory, trying to stay hidden as you approach. As you get nearer, you can hear faint sounds coming from inside - voices speaking in a language that's unfamiliar to you.

As you peek through one of the broken windows on the side of the building, your worst fears are confirmed: The Scorched have set up some sort of makeshift laboratory inside.

Test tubes and beakers line tables and counters throughout the room, filled with strange substances that emit an otherworldly glow. You see several Scorched huddled around a large machine in one corner of the room - it looks like they're running experiments on something or someone.

Your heart races as you realize just how dangerous this situation could be if left unchecked. But even amidst all these uncertainties, one thing remains clear: Your commitment to doing whatever it takes to protect those who are counting on you for

Overwatch's voice comes through the radio, sounding grim. "This is worse than we thought," he says. "If they're able to incubate more of those things and create a larger army, it could mean disaster for all of us."

He pauses for a moment before continuing. "We need to find out as much as we can about what they're doing in there - but be careful not to get caught," he warns you.

As you continue observing from your vantage point outside the factory, you notice movement in one of the windows on the second floor - it looks like someone or something is moving around inside.

"We have eyes on movement upstairs," Overwatch reports over your radio. "Be ready for anything."

Overwatch's voice comes through the radio, sounding urgent. "Zach, wait - we don't know what kind of risks you'll be facing in there," he says. "This is a dangerous move."

But it's too late - you've already made up your mind and are heading towards the entrance to the factory.

As you sneak inside, trying to stay hidden from any potential threats or patrols, your heart races with adrenaline and fear. You're taking a huge risk by going against orders and entering this lab on your own - but if it means uncovering crucial information that could help defeat the Scorched once and for all, then it's worth it.

You make your way upstairs quietly until you reach the room where you saw movement earlier. Peeking inside cautiously, you see several Scorched huddled around one of their own who appears to be lying unconscious on

Overwatch's voice comes through the radio, sounding tense. "Be careful with that embryo, Zach," he warns you. "We don't know what kind of effects it could have if it's not handled properly."

He pauses for a moment before continuing more urgently. "Look around and see if there are any containers or vials nearby - something to transport the embryo safely without damaging it."

As you look around the lab, your eyes fall on a small glass container sitting on one of the tables nearby.

"That might work," Overwatch says over your radio as you pick up the container and carefully transfer the embryo inside.

"Now we need to get out of there as quickly and quietly as possible," he advises you.

Overwatch's voice comes through the radio, sounding urgent. "Copy that, Zach - we're sending a chopper your way," he says. "Just hold on and keep fighting until we get there."

As you continue to make your way through the lab, gunfire ringing out around you as you take down any Scorched in your path.

But even as you fight with all your might, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary mission - the Scorched are more numerous and better organized than ever before.

You hear a whirring sound above you as the chopper approaches, its blades slicing through the air with an ominous hum.

"Get to the roof!" Overwatch shouts over your radio. "We'll pick you up from there!"

With renewed determination, you sprint towards the stairs leading up to the rooftop - gunfire echoing behind you as Scorched give chase.

Finally

You jump off the rooftop and grab onto the ladder rope that Overwatch has dropped from the chopper. The wind whips past you as you dangle in mid-air, your heart racing with adrenaline.

With a powerful tug, you hoist yourself up onto the chopper's platform - just in time to see one of the Scorched lunging towards you with outstretched claws.

Reacting quickly, you take aim and fire your weapon - hitting it square in its chest and sending it tumbling backwards into oblivion.

As the chopper lifts off into the sky, taking you away from danger once more, a sense of relief washes over you. You've completed your mission against all odds - but at what cost?

Only time will tell what kind of consequences this daring move might have for both yourself and those who rely on your strength and courage to survive in this

Overwatch's voice comes through the radio, sounding relieved. "Glad to see you made it out in one piece, Zach," he says. "We'll head back to camp now."

As the chopper flies towards camp, you take a moment to reflect on everything that has happened - the danger and risks involved in your mission, but also the potential rewards of uncovering valuable information about Scorched activities.

You hold onto the journal and embryo tightly as if they're precious treasures - symbols of your hard work and dedication to protecting those who rely on you for survival.

Finally arriving at camp, Overwatch helps you disembark from the chopper before taking custody of your findings.

"Good job today," he says with a nod. "But let's hope we don't have to go through anything like that again anytime soon."

The general looks at you with a mixture of anger and surprise as you present the evidence of your mission. "What in the hell were you thinking, Zach?" she snaps. "Going against orders like that could have cost us everything."

But as she takes a closer look at the pictures and notes you've gathered, her expression begins to soften slightly.

"This is... impressive work," she admits begrudgingly. "You may have just given us a real chance to get ahead of these Scorched bastards once and for all."

She pauses for a moment before continuing more sternly. "But don't think this means I'm going to let your reckless behavior slide," she warns you. "We'll be discussing this further in private later - but for now, good job."

The general rolls her eyes at your comment, but can't help but crack a small smile. "You're lucky you're good at what you do," she says with a sigh.

"As for the tests, we'll let you know as soon as we have any results," she adds before dismissing you.

With that, you make your way to see Sarah - relieved to be able to take a break from all the danger and uncertainty of life in this post-apocalyptic world.

As you make your way to the training camp, you see a group of children huddled together in one corner, being taught survival skills by Lily - a kind-hearted woman who has taken it upon herself to care for the younger members of the community.

You spot Sarah among them, her eyes lighting up as she sees you approach. "Daddy!" she cries out happily, running towards you and throwing her arms around your neck.

"How was work today?" she asks eagerly as Lily approaches with a smile. "Did you bring us anything?"

You can't help but feel grateful for this small moment of joy amidst all the chaos and danger that surrounds your everyday life. With Sarah and Lily by your side, everything else seems just a little bit more bearable.

Lily smiles warmly at you. "It's always good to see you, Zach," she says. "And don't worry about souvenirs - we're just happy that you made it back safely."

She glances over at Sarah and adds, "We've been practicing our knot-tying skills today - want to join in?"

Sarah nods eagerly, her eyes shining with excitement. You can't help but feel a sense of pride as you watch your daughter learning important survival skills alongside the other children.

"Sure thing," you say with a smile. "Let's get started."

Lily nods as she takes a sip of her beer. "Yeah, I heard about that too," she says. "I think it's a good idea - the more prepared these kids are for what's out there, the better."

"But at the same time," she adds thoughtfully, "it's hard to imagine teaching children how to use weapons without feeling like we're taking away their innocence or childhood in some way."

You nod in agreement, understanding exactly where Lily is coming from.

"It's a tough call," you say with a sigh. "But ultimately, we have to do whatever it takes to keep them safe and give them the best chance at survival."

Lily takes another sip of her beer before answering. "Things are... tense," she says, choosing her words carefully. "Everyone's on edge with everything that's been going on - the Scorched attacks, the shortage of supplies..."

She trails off for a moment before continuing more gently. "As for Sarah, I think it's just a natural part of growing up," she says with a reassuring smile. "But don't worry - you're still an important figure in her life and always will be."

She places a hand on your shoulder and adds, "You're doing the best you can to keep us all safe out there - never forget that."

Lily's eyes widen in surprise at your revelation. "An embryo?" she repeats, sounding both shocked and intrigued. "That could be a major breakthrough for us."

She takes another sip of her beer before continuing thoughtfully. "But we have to be careful with it - we don't know what kind of risks or consequences might come from studying it," she warns you.

"But if there's any chance that this could help us put an end to the Scorched once and for all, then I'm willing to take that risk."

Lily places a comforting hand on your shoulder. "I promise, Zach," she says firmly. "We'll take care of Sarah - no matter what happens."

She looks over at Sarah playing and smiles softly. "And we'll make sure that she knows just how much you love her and how proud you are of her," she adds.

"Whatever comes our way, we're in this together - as a family."

Lily returns your hug with a warm smile. "Good luck, Zach," she says as you make your way towards the lab.

As you enter the lab, Overwatch greets you with a serious expression on his face. "We've got some news about that embryo you brought back," he says gravely.

He leads you over to a microscope and gestures for you to take a look inside. As you peer through the lens, your eyes widen in shock at what you see - strange mutations and abnormalities that seem almost otherworldly.

"We're still running more tests, but it looks like this thing is unlike anything we've ever seen before," Overwatch explains. "It's going to take some time to figure out exactly what we're dealing with here."

He pauses for a moment before continuing more seriously. "But one thing's for sure - if these Scorched are

Overwatch shakes his head. "I'm afraid it's not that simple, Zach," he says with a sigh. "The embryo is too unstable - we don't even know what kind of effects it might have on humans if we were to try and use it as a weapon."

He looks at you gravely before continuing. "We need to approach this carefully - there's no telling what kind of consequences could come from messing around with something like this."

"But rest assured, we'll do everything in our power to find a way to end the Scorched threat once and for all," he adds reassuringly.

Overwatch nods, "You're right. The journal might hold some clues on how to defeat the Scorched." He takes out the journal and starts flipping through its pages.

As he reads, his expression grows more and more serious. "This is... interesting," he says finally. "According to this, there's a group of scientists who were working on a weapon that could target the Scorched specifically."

He looks up at you with a determined glint in his eye. "If we can find these scientists and get our hands on their research, it might be our best shot at ending this once and for all."

"But we have to move quickly - if the Scorched catch wind of what we're doing, they'll stop at nothing to prevent us from succeeding," he warns you.

"Are you ready for another mission?"

Overwatch nods, "That's true. But we can't give up hope just yet. There might be other labs out there that we don't know about."

He pauses for a moment before continuing thoughtfully. "And even if Genesis is abandoned now, who knows what kind of information or technology they left behind?"

"We'll need to do some more reconnaissance and see if we can find any leads on where these scientists might have gone," he adds.

"Are you up for the challenge?"

Overwatch nods appreciatively. "We'll need to start by gathering as much intel as we can," he says. "I want you to head out and see if you can find any survivors who might have information on other labs or research facilities."

He hands you a map of the surrounding area with several potential locations marked on it. "Start here - these are the most likely places where we might find something useful."

"Be careful out there, Zach," he adds before dismissing you.

As you look at the journal once more, you notice a passage that catches your eye. It reads:

"We've made some promising progress with our research into Scorched physiology. Our latest experiments have shown that their cells are highly susceptible to certain types of radiation - if we can find a way to weaponize this, it could be our best chance at defeating them."

The passage is followed by several pages of notes and equations detailing the researchers' findings.

It's clear that there's still much work to be done before any kind of weapon can be developed from this information, but it's definitely a lead worth pursuing further.

Overwatch nods thoughtfully. "That's a good idea," he says. "I'll see what I can find out about any active nuclear plants in the area."

He types quickly on his computer, pulling up various databases and satellite images.

After a few moments of searching, he turns back to you with a serious expression. "There are several potential targets within range," he says. "But they're all heavily guarded by Scorched forces - it would be extremely dangerous to attempt an infiltration."

"We'll need to come up with a plan if we want to get anywhere near those facilities," he adds.

Overwatch's eyes widen in surprise as he listens to your plan. "That's... a bold strategy," he says slowly. "But you might be onto something there."

He taps away at his computer for a few moments, pulling up various schematics and maps of the area.

"It won't be easy getting our hands on that material, but I think it can be done," he says finally. "And if we're successful in planting that bomb at the hive..."

He trails off for a moment before continuing more thoughtfully. "It could mean the end of this nightmare once and for all."

Overwatch checks his computer and responds, "It looks like we have a team in the area that can start moving towards the nuclear plant within the hour. They'll be heavily armed and ready for anything."

"But we need to make sure this plan is foolproof before we move forward," he adds with a serious expression. "We'll need to do some more research on Scorched physiology and behavior patterns if we want to maximize our chances of success."

Overwatch nods in agreement. "That sounds like a good plan," he says.

As you make your way back to the camp, you can't help but feel a sense of urgency and determination. This could be it - the endgame for the Scorched threat that has plagued humanity for so long.

When you arrive at the camp, Sarah runs up to greet you with a smile on her face. "Daddy!" she exclaims happily as she wraps her arms around your waist.

Lily approaches soon after, looking concerned when she sees the serious expression on your face. "What's wrong?" she asks softly.

You take a deep breath before explaining everything to them - about the embryo, about the scientists working on a weapon against Scorched, and finally about your plan involving nuclear material and controlled detonation.

Both Lily and Sarah listen intently as you speak,

Sarah nods, looking up at you with wide eyes. "Okay, Daddy," she says softly.

Lily places a comforting hand on your shoulder. "Don't worry about Sarah - we'll take good care of her while you're gone," she assures you.

You nod gratefully before turning to leave once more, determined to see this mission through to the end and finally put an end to the Scorched threat for good.

Sarah hugs you back tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. "I love you too, Daddy," she says softly.

Lily places a hand on your shoulder and gently pulls you away from Sarah. "It's time to go," she says quietly.

You nod before turning and making your way out of the camp once more, steeling yourself for what lies ahead.

The soldiers all salute you as you make your way out of the camp, their expressions a mix of respect and sadness.

Overwatch approaches you once more, looking at you with a mixture of pride and concern. "You're one brave soldier, Zach," he says quietly. "But please - be careful out there."

He hands you a radio before adding, "Stay in contact with us - we'll do everything we can to support you from here."

With that final exchange, you turn and head off into the wilderness alone on your mission to end the Scorched threat once and for all.

As you ride towards City Hall, memories of Sarah and the rest of your family flash through your mind. You feel a sense of determination and purpose knowing that what you're doing is for their safety.

The journey is long and arduous, with many obstacles along the way - Scorched patrols, treacherous terrain, and harsh weather conditions. But despite it all, you press on towards your goal.

Finally, after what seems like an eternity of riding through the desolate wasteland, you arrive at City Hall. The building looms before you ominously as if daring you to enter.

Taking a deep breath to steady yourself, you make your way inside cautiously. The air is thick with tension as if something terrible could happen at any moment.

You move deeper into the building until finally reaching a large chamber where the hive mind lies dormant in its center - pulsating

Overwatch's voice crackles through the radio, "Copy that, Zach. We're standing by and ready to receive your signal."

You pull out the bomb device you've been working on and begin setting it up carefully near the hive mind.

As you work, you can feel a sense of unease creeping over you - as if something is watching your every move.

Suddenly, there's movement from within the hive mind - tendrils of energy reaching out towards you as if trying to stop what you're doing.

But with a determined grit in your teeth, you press on until finally everything is set up just right. You take one last look at the hive mind before hitting the detonation switch on your device.

There's a blinding flash of light followed by an earth-shattering explosion that rocks City Hall to its foundations. The ground shakes beneath your feet as debris rains

Overwatch's voice comes through the radio, sounding urgent and worried. "Zach! Zach, do you copy? What's happening?"

There's no response from your end as you lay there on top of the hive mind - battered and bruised but still alive.

Suddenly, a bright light fills your vision as an air strike is called in on your coordinates. You can hear the roar of planes overhead followed by several deafening explosions that rock City Hall to its foundations.

As everything fades to black around you, you feel a sense of peace knowing that it's finally over - the Scorched threat has been eradicated once and for all.

And though you won't be there to see it yourself, humanity will rebuild and flourish once more thanks to heroes like yourself who were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for their fellow man.
