Summary: Aloy does not have the time for weather.


The sky grows dark, draws close above the earth and covers the sun. An ill omen, the sun priests would call it. A storm soon to break.

It happens quickly. All these new storms happen quickly.

Aloy is far from shelter. She doesn't have time for shelter. Not with the speed those clouds are gathering. Not when every moment she delays the ecosystem - Gaia's terraforming system - falls further and further out of balance.

There is a tipping point, approaching like a stalker in the underbrush. Aloy cannot let it arrive. She can't stop it, either, unless she finds a backup.

Her clothes will dry. Her strider is waterproof. Aloy pushes on.
