RUN
The group's vehicles grind against the narrow streets and beat at the ancient pavement. One feline spots you; a shot; an explosion; a missing wall. You're completely exposed now to the group. You dash wildly through the back entrance of the building and wind your way down the alleys and corridors. The maze seems to confuse your assailants but you know they'll find you if you don't keep moving. You can see a break in the skyline several yards ahead; the edge of the city. Running at full speed you race toward open land. The buildings recede and are eventually left far behind you.
You now stand in a massive green field. Tall grasses and loud insects surround you. Your pursuers are nowhere to be found and neither is the APC. You're in the clear for now. The field leads to a dense treeline. Figuring that it would be safer among the trees than in the open, you decide to hide among the forest.
Hours tick by quickly and the suns seem to speed across the sky while you scan the horizon for hostile movement. Whether you want to deal with it or not, you're at war at this point. Your life is in peril every moment you stay on this world. It dawns on you that you are going to be hunted until you're killed, or you fight back. But how? At this point, the resistance won't want anything to do with you, you ran out on them. You decide to find some cover; a house perhaps; something, anything.
The woods are thick and tangled. Green and brown shades mingle and mesh between the tall trees and thick yet strange vines, which litter nearly every inch of the forest floor. The sounds of the wildlife around is nearly deafening. As you wander almost aimlessly through the woods you eventually come to a clearing and a house. The building doesn't resemble anything from the city. This small structure is make of large, twisted and knotted wooden logs with vine lashings and thatch-like roofing. The walls have mud built up around the edges, presumably to keep the warmth in the winter, if there is a discernible winter in this place.
