Off World Run Around
The thud and click of reinforced nano-fiber slapping against wet ceramic asphalt rang out down the dark allyway in the drizzling rain. After running in the plated boots for almost an hour now, an exhausted man found himself wishing he had gone with a lower level reinforcement or just tak the cyber_prosthetic plunge already. He took a look back over his shoulder, simultaneously slowing his pace from a jog to a brisk walk. Once sure that the way was clear in both directions, he stopped completely, and sank into the shadow created the light from nearby LED sign being cut off by a six foot tall cylindrical trash compressor. It was a sure sign that it was a broke neighborhood, and no money meant no surveillance. He had lost track of exactly how far they had flown, or what places they had barrelled through in the chase over the last hour. Needed to stop and regroup, figure out what his next move was. Being in orbit, and awake, for some where around forty two hours without stopping had definitely taken it's toll, though. it wasn't five minutes before the weight on his eyelids dragged them closed, and he was on his way to dreamland.
