Freefall, that was something that would come unexpected this day. Especially considering how much urbanity this place had- where could you fall? Off a wall you were climbing using a rusty pipe. Kalli would curse herself over and over again for having made such a movie, but there was no time for wallowing in hate of oneself. Before she could fill her lungs with another gust of air, she had slammed into the concrete surface. The alleyway reeked of garbage, and water drizzled down from the rooftops and broken pipes, the ground itself was wet as well- she had landed in a thin puddle of whatever the clear liquid was, water or not, it didn't help comfort her much from the fall. In only a matter of seconds the stormtroopers would become aware of this fall, the loud thud of Kalli's body echoing through the alleyway. If one was apart of the panic in the streets, it would seen inaudible, but the stormtroopers who had been standing by the alleyway were certainly close enough to hear the echo. Their radios buzzed with military communication, their local commanding officer allowing them to search the alleyway while remaining over the radio.
Rolling her entire body with a grunt, Kalli hid herself behind a dumpster while laying her back against it, sitting down. Escape was needed, but more importantly, she needed information on the gang that was now hunting her, and their tactics didn't come just from brute force, they had snipers as well. Simply moving about this place was a problem, and it was only one of the numerous portals in that mysterious white room she had appeared in, that seemed so distant now, hours or even days away in her time. Was she even aging here? There were still questions to ask, but no answers- "Focus." She muttered to herself, taking grip of the wound on her arm as her nerves finally came alive, the burning sensation coursing through her. Escape, that was all she needed right now, escape. "Maybe it was a stray animal." Finally one of the two stormtroopers spoke as their armor clattered, walking through the dark alleyway. "Still worth checking out after the firefight out there. So keep your mouth shut." The other replied, their voices muffled by their helmets.
With a sigh, the stormtrooper who spoke first didn't speak afterwards, merely walking forward while his comrade retained a combat posture, hunched over and keeping his gun focused on the end of the alleyway. After a few seconds of silence and quick searching, they were finally getting close to where Kalli hid, not like it was far deep in the alleyway anyways. As one of them was creeping closer, the other spoke out again. "Who were those guys? The ones who were shooting." He asked, relaxed as ever and firmly believing that nothing was here aside from them. "Some random gang for all I know, someone probably evaded paying them their due or something, you know how bad life is down here. Now-" As the stormtrooper moved closely toward the dumpster, a loud siren blarred behind them while civilians were seen running down the street. "Identification escapees! Come on!" A stormtrooper yelled further down the alleyway, before running in pursuit of the escaping civilians. The two in the alleyway quickly joined in, rushing out into the open street and disappearing from Kalli's site. She sighed in relief- now all she had to do is wait until later today, where the soldiers would finally be done trying to find any criminals among the populace.
