Futuristic Enigma: 2B's Mysterious Charisma by Jade Gretz
Dust swirled in the crimson twilight, painting the desolate cityscape in shades of decay. 2B, her combat skirt billowing around her boots, stood amidst the wreckage of a Goliath-class enemy. Its grotesque mechanical carcass groaned in its death throes, spilling viscous fluids onto the cracked concrete below.
