A wooden door thumps loudly, then once more, louder, before bursting open, spilling one human and a scattering of debris into the Nexus. Alyx, wearing a red sleeveless jacket and holding onto an empty M79 break-action grenade launcher looks behind her to a small object just out of reach from where she's lying, while a gangly, greenish, plant-like humanoid creature snakes its viny limbs through the doorway.
"Gotcha!" she mutters, grabbing the stray incendiary grenade shell and scrambles to a kneeling position, ducking her head as a globule of acidic matter narrowly misses her.
"I think it's time for you to leave," she loads the shell and fires, sending the Ivy shriveling back, the smell of burning chlorophyll permeating the air.
"Huh? Leave? Y'know? 'Cause it's a... okaythen." Alyx sighs and brushes loose strands of hair back as she rises to her feet.
"Ever feel like your life was nothing but a recurring sense of Deja Vu?"
