[ The Aurora is (relatively) newly arrived on a post-apocalyptic Star! A vast city — which looks like it may have been an eclectic blend of architecture even in its golden years, like if you smashed London and Tokyo together — is being swallowed up by the forest, with some of the trees tall enough to rival the skyscrapers they grow alongside. There's a certain kind of beauty to it.

Right in the center of the city is a train station, and it's here, appropriately enough, that the Aurora has parked itself; the Prism is in what's left of the old, exceptionally fancy station lobby. While the forest is still very much present here, it's less dense, less dark … less Malicious. The Heroes have made some progress already.

Speaking of Heroes, it's time for the newbies to arrive! … Two of them, in fact. Almost everyone else — if not actually everyone else — who might normally be around is conveniently busy elsewhere. Possibly fighting the Malice directly (there's a rather ominous thunderstorm brewing miles in the distance …), or maybe they're stuck in a Trial? Mysterious. Either way, the train itself, and Senna's carriage specifically, are quiet.

… Were quiet. ]
