To say goodbye, Anya explains, but I’m not really listening. Really, though, there’s only one way to describe your situation: f*cked. Well, “stranded” is one way to put it - sure, you’ve been left behind on Sera, along with the other helpless civilians, and no longer are under the umbrella of the government. Oh, did I mention that the Locust are still an enemy, too? The Gears are left no choice but to pull together what small scraps they can and form a pastiche of defenses and weaponry to use against a new, terrifying enemy: the Lambent. has ceased to exist and Richard Prescott has disappeared and what’s left of your forces have retreated to the CNV Sovereign, a mobile city out at sea. Everything that could go wrong, did: Jacinto has fallen the C.O.G.
That’s what you and your fellow Gears are - stranded.
