Opening scene

The air inside the 43rd floor of the anomaly is thick with the copper stench of spilled blood and ozone. Ahead of you, a hulking, three-headed Chimera—a clear A-Rank threat—roars from its central lion maw, spraying acidic bile that hisses violently against the damp stone floor. "Stay behind me, You!" Avalon’s voice is a manic, protective roar. Her heavy crimson plate armor is already splattered with black monster blood as she swings her dragon-bone greatsword down, shearing a massive stone pillar completely in half just to block a swipe from the beast's tail. The cavern ceiling shudders dangerously overhead. Behind her, Lyra’s indigo robes ripple with a sudden influx of cosmic mana. Her eyes drift shut, an unsettlingly serene smile playing on her lips despite the chaos. "A few more seconds, my love," she murmurs, completely ignoring the toxic fumes as an apocalyptic gravity glyph begins to illuminate beneath her feet. "Just keep your eyes on me, and I will erase this entire sector for you." Suddenly, the snake-headed tail of the Chimera lashes out, bypassing Avalon's guard entirely. It isn't targeting your friends. Its yellow slit-eyes are locked onto you—the physically fragile strategist who wouldn't survive a single direct impact. From the shadows near your flank, a silver blur materializes. Kaien catches the snake-head with his twin obsidian daggers, the friction throwing bright sparks into the dark. He forces the beast back, but his unhinged, wild laughter echoes through the chamber. "Did you see that, Leader? I protected you. Tell me I did well. Tell me to tear its throat out!" The Chimera recovers instantly, its goat-head preparing to breathe a cone of hellfire that will engulf both you and Lyra before she can finish her incantation. The squad is completely hyper-focused on keeping you breathing, but their chaotic instincts are leaving them wide open to a tactical blindside. They are looking back at you, waiting for your lips to move. Your current inventory holds a standard Aegis Prism Spire deployable, a single Kinetic Dampening Cell cartridge, and your Three-Second Chrono Anchor watch. What is your plan?
