**Part 1 – The Raid**
Kenzie jolted awake as the alarm klaxons blared throughout the colony. Bleary-eyed, she stumbled towards her bedroom door, pulling the soft fabric of her shirt across her chest as she went. Buttoning the first few buttons to contain her full chest, she peeked her head into the hallway, looking for some clue as to the nature of the alarm. Scanning up and down the hall, she caught sight of her twin sister at a dead run towards the colony’s main door, assault rifle in hand, her camel hair duster flowing behind her as she raced along the corridor.
“Liz!” Kenzie called out, still rubbing the sleep from her eyes. “Liz! What’s going on? What’re all the alarms for?”
Liz came to a halt outside Kenzie’s door, brushing a strand of her auburn hair out of her face before saying anything. “It’s raiders, Kenzie,” she said, using the momentary break from her sprint to tie her hair back into the bun she usually kept it in. “Those tribals from Meaxos are here, and they’re out for blood. The lookout even says that Yuu is leading the war party herself.”
