Quarantine Heist

An increasingly pervasive hum, which felt like it was borrowing deep into her temples, gradually pulled Cassandra out of her sleep and into disorienting consciousness. Her eyes were dry and sensitive to the artificial glow of light that was around her, so she kept them shut. Her entire body suddenly began to tremor along with everything else around her, rattling in place but sounding ready to break out. She gradually opened her eyes to be faced directly with a masked woman wearing a clear visor. She was gesturing and waving at her frantically. The words of the masked woman were muffled by the deep thrumming hum, but Cassandra could just about make them out.
