Convergence (An Enclave Story)

Derelict Trading Hub

Through the cameras, Leila watched as the marines progressed through the station. They were slowly but surely heading towards the control room. Better slowly than surely, Leila thought as she found another way to interfere with the intruders. She had reactivated the gravity generator earlier, and the station was now at comfortable 0.8g. But nobody said it always had to be that way.

As Leila cranked up the power and output, it slowly went to to 1g... Then 1.2g... 1.7g, 2g... Unfortunately, that was the limit. Even then, the interface indicated that the gravity generator wouldn't work for longer than 8 hours under such stress. However, the operative didn't need 8 hours to do the job.

Although the exoskeleton helped Leila move, her body inside still felt the change that came with the gravity. Lucky for her, she didn't have to step too far away from the console for now. The intruders, however, had a climb ahead of them. Hopefully, having to walk through such an environment would exhaust the intruders and leave them open for whatever other tricks Leila could quickly stow up her sleeve.
