Lights danced in front of Angelica as ships fired and collided with each other like one of those old movies she had seen. Only this time, it was on mute. Her ship has already been destroyed and now she floats aimlessly in the silent vacuum of space, entranced by the greatest battle in the history of humankind. She had been a part of something incredible and had managed to take down two vessels before someone clipped her wings. However, entranced wonder is soon replaced by fear as a beep echoes through her ears signifying the end of her oxygen tank.

Death's Challenge
Dressed in casual dark blue jeans and a greying white top, Marcus stands on top of a mountain as it floats high in the sky. Staring out into a light blue void that surrounds everything. No land or sea can be seen and although it appears to be daytime, there is no sun. A train revolves around the base of the hill, circling it in a never-ending loop.

The Name is Sable Trevino
Sable Trevino is a slyborne katari rogue and active council member for the City of Eprieta. Clever and cunning as they come, Sable carries out her duties to the people as "Arbiter of the Veil," or the master of spies. Just think of her as a shadier version of Captain Amelia from Treasure Planet.
