"State your name and affiliation."

An aged voice boomed the instant Alexandra regained her senses, almost directly bursting her eardrums.

"Agh!" She exclaimed as she covered her ears.

"State your name and affiliation."

The voice rang out again. Blood gushed through the cracks in Alexandra's fingers, spurting onto the floor around her.

Thud!

Alexandra collapsed to her knees. Her head was ringing, she couldn't form a coherent thought, the world around her was spinning uncontrollably, and it felt like any movement she made would kill her.

"Sta—"

"Stop."

A second voice rang out instead, quelling the furious power of the first.

Alexandra collapsed to the ground convulsing.
