    Summary

    In the early 1930s, a new variety of creatures were discovered, known as the Carnis. First was the Crawl, the bright red vine of muscle that grew to cover the earth. Then other beings emerged, the Harvester with spiked roots, the skinless, humanoid Mimic, the towering, many-limbed Monoliths, among others. After an initial scare, it seemed that everything was fine regarding the new inhabitants of the world. And life adapted and continued, including the seemingly never-ending gravel war.

    Two years ago, the war was put on hold as the threat of the meat creatures rose, interfering with the normal routine of the battles. And so RED and BLU were disbanded.

    But now, letters beckon the mercenaries back to their old job, their old life. And they accept, eager to return to New Mexico. However, things have changed.

    Summary

    “Where?” Takina whispers to herself beneath the rush of the shower at Chisato’s old safehouse, scalding water a cascade over her back save for where a patch of gauze rests over her left shoulder. “Where are you, Chisato?”

    Takina's wounds are anything but skin deep. Recovery is anything but easy.

    Nothing ever seems to be, when it comes to Chisato, but that's never stopped her before.
