Talno woke up to a hazy blur of colors and a strong smell of smoke and death. As his vision returned he observed his surroundings, he was in a ruined building of some sort, with metal girders strewn throughout the complex. The only light came from a roaring fireplace in the centre. Talno jumped at the sound of a metal door creaking and stared at a procession of people clambering from the doorway. The people's gas masks were painted with bizarre designs, and they held spears made of bone. They were walking towards him. When they got close they grabbed him and hung him on a rack over the fire. They rummaged through his backpack looking for valuables, but all of a sudden, they froze. They threw the gun to the floor and ran off, prostrating themselves before the gun. They prostrated themselves with great reverence at the object of great power, until the fire burned its last coal and Talno could finally free himself. Once he was free he grabbed the gun and held it up, Talno's assailants scattered throughout the building, and Talno was left in silence.
