Hidden in Plain Sight

It was night on the Illarii industrial world of Draxen IV, the cool temperature was keeping most people in their homes or the clubs and bars of the less reputable districts. A few patrols were walking the streets, mentally wishing they to were inside in the warm, it was a normal quiet night.
Suddenly in a back alley a cloaked figure exploded out of a passageway and thundered down the narrow alley, the movements were panicked, uncoordinated, the movements of someone who was hunted. Rats scurried into cover as the figure leapt over bags of rubbish, empty boxes and discarded bits of equipment, from behind came the slap of boots from many pursuers and the unmistakable howl of hunter robots. The fleeing figure chanced a look over their shoulder and almost tripped over a box, the stumble knocked the hood back revealing a finely featured lady with long grey hair. She staggered on until she came to a crossways, quickly she made a decision, she pushed over a pile of boxes leading to the left to make it look like she had fled that way then she took off to the right. She needed to hide, her legs were killing her, her breath was coming in short ragged heaves and her heart felt like it was going to explode out of her chest at any moment. She tried the first door she came to, it was frozen shut by what looked like a millennial of paint, the next door wouldn’t budge, each door she tried wouldn’t open, she could hear the hunters getting nearer, another door denied her entry, there were torch beams starting to penetrate the dark of the alley, she was running out of time, She desperately twisted the handle of another door. It flew open and she was actually frozen with surprise for a moment, she rallied and slipped inside, shoving the door closed and ramming a pair of reassuringly solid looking bolts home. There was a fisheye peephole in the door so she looked through it. Dozens of guards ran past the door, their faces set in grim determination, they were followed by an officer and a huge sergeant, the officer pointed to the door and the sergeant tried to open it, it wouldn’t budge, he tried a few times but eventually turned back to the officer with a shake of his head, then they were gone. The woman let out a sign of relief, and felt weak at the knees; she was safe, for the moment anyway.
Suddenly she felt a presence behind her, she half turned then the back of her head exploded with pain and everything went black.
