ALT Silver is ruminating is his study. His hands rest over a blueprint for Neo Egg City. While staring down, a mini flashback occurs. An Egg Pawn gets a lucky shot on a rabbit named Caramel. "All units! This is Blaze speaking!" Blaze's voice is merely a facade for the situation they find themselves in, yet her queenly demeanor makes it sound as if not all has gone bad yet. Then she says it. "The mission parameters have not been met! Retreat. NOW!" The calmness in her voice is swiftly discarded and replaced with an anxious tone. "Silver! Silver, do you read me? Sage's forces are converging on your position!" The voice becomes more and more desperate as the panel shows a rabbit with a bullet piercing clean through her midsection.
