    A ravaged city lay before me; its quiet remnants resting under a rusted veil of Martian soil. As I looked to the ruins of this abandoned place, only grief filled my heart. Here was the last bastion of hope on the red planet--the one place no human expected to fall. Despite the heavy military presence that defended the city so valiantly, it was not enough. Only the power of the Traveler was enough to bring us salvation. This dead settlement was once known as Syv, and was not unique in its utter destruction. In fact, this image of lonely devastation was one of thousands across Sol. Looking down upon the old courtyard did little to fuel my sense of hope. What if he’s not here anymore? This thought was not enough to crush [i]every[/i] hope, however. I had not come so far to simply give up. Turning around to see the barren desert behind me, I found the strength to push forward into the Syv Courtyard. Carefully, I peered through the scope of my Monitor S11 scout rifle. All clear. As I climbed the crumbled steps of what was once a reputable daycare, my eyes felt the familiar sting that had kept me awake every night for the past seven months. Who could bring themselves to cause such terror? Who would take so many lives, so many children from their parents? The sting in my eyes changed into an unstable hatred. The monster that took my little girl away from me was going regret what he took from me. For seven months, I tracked his pack across the Martian wastes. For seven months, I had taken the lives of every Fallen that I had come across. And now? Now was the time to claim revenge.
