Special thanks to Reginald for lending me his voice this week!

----- NARRATION -----

As you step into the building, seeking insight into aiding the surface people, your attention is drawn to the mysterious figure. He stands tall, with a lean build that hints at agility rather than brute strength. His large eyes, alert and discerning, reflect a cunning intelligence, complemented by the slight, knowing smirk that plays at the corners of his mouth.

As he turns to face you, he says:

"
Welcome to Havenfall. Name's Marcus.

Hmm. You don't seem the type to handle much, but maybe you'll prove useful somehow.
Before we get into the details, let me give you the rundown on how I ended up here.

I'm from the sky cities too, you know. Used to run a little side gig with my crew. 10 years ago, or was it 13? Whatever...

There I was, me and my crew
We were in deep, helping the so-called 'noble' politicians of the sky city with their dirty work, believing we were on the same side. They parade around like saints, but behind closed doors, they're no better than the criminals they vow to protect the city from.

Then, out of nowhere, to put on a show for the public, to make themselves look like heroes, they turned on us. Just like that.

Could you believe that?

As the police force arrived, they declared we were being arrested for some bullshit reason they made up. They presented us with a grim choice: banishment to the surface or face death row.
