The social unrest that has followed the Great World Krach has definitively wreaked havoc on the western world. With the collapse of the authority, the military and the police, the city has fallen into chaos. The only law respected by all and everybody is the Law of the Jungle. The urban jungle in the present case. Most peoples are surviving alone or in tiny groups, scavenging whatever they can find on the streets, barricading themselves into basements. There is no more electric power, no more fuel and thus no more cars. No firearms either as all the ammo was expended during the first two years of the urban battle. Everybody is now using all kinds of makeshift melee weapons made from bit and scraps.<br/><br/>Among this chaos, two groups have tried to organise themselves and collaborate to protect themselves against the anarchic looters. One group has barricaded itself in the Battery Park fort, at the tip of Manhattan. They are known as the "Batterists". The other group is occupying the remnants of St-Patrick's cathedral some 7 km to the north and are called the "Patricks". The two groups are fighting for dominance.<br/><br/><strong>Kriss</strong>was one of the most skilled scouts of the Batterists. Fast and cunning, she was usually relying on stealth and speed to avoid danger, but she could also be a skilled warrior in case of need, using an old bicycle chain as whip to lash her opponents. She was accustomed to roam the streets, looking for canned food store and other useful goods, which her companions would then scavenger and bring back to the fort to be stored and processed.<br/><br/>The street looters knew her well and hated her because when she found a food source in their street, the Batterist's collectors soon came and emptied it to the last crumb. But she was always faster and smarter than them, and many of them were bearing the scars left by her bicycle chain. She was becoming bolder every day, scouting farther into the Patricks' territory.<br/><br/>One day, all her world crumbled to pieces. The Patricks had set up a trap for her, and she fell for it. She found herself blocked in a one-exit-only basement with 10 warriors soon rushing into it. She fought like a panther, wounded several of them but in the end the number overwhelmed her. She was knocked out, chained and brought to the cathedral.
