The radio had cut out suddenly en route to Siren Alley, just before the train gave a shuddering, almost unwilling lurch onto a side rail running perpendicular to the main one. Sinclair had had just enough time to get in a “Say, what’s-?” before the signal fell silent on his end. This wouldn’t have been a problem if he’d only agreed to stay in the

But when the door slid open, he broke from his wishful thinking and ducked into the shadows, watching with the one good eye he had. A big daddy stepped out, and he jumped as two plastered splicers lost their heads to the drill.
He didn't know how dark the shadow was, if he could be seen or not, and he tightly clenched his fists to stop the shaking. His wide eye followed Delta carefully, analyzing his armor (an old big daddy suit...) and weapons (that drill looks sharp...).
