Chapter 1 - 7 MONTHS EARLIER

Mara was deployed with a small investigation team to examine a suspected anomaly site. Reports suggested unusual behavior in the area—missing civilians and strange sightings.

During the operation:

 • The team encountered a Shifter.

 • The creature had already been observing and studying them.

 • At some point during the mission, the Shifter infiltrated the group.

Because the Shifter can perfectly replicate human appearance and behavior, the team didn't immediately realize one of them had been replaced.

By the time the truth became clear, it was too late.

Mara's Death

Mara was killed during the chaos of the encounter.

Most of the team did not survive.

The official report listed the incident as a containment failure.

Very few details were released.
