    Summary

    After the War for Liberation, City 31 stands against the odds. A tentative peace exists within its borders. But the war's closing battles rage on elsewhere, and scavengers continue to toil as everyone desperately seeks scraps of the old regime's technology in order to maintain some semblance of civilized life.

    When a massive batch of fertilized viper eggs is found in an ADVENT storage facility, City 31 takes up the cause. Fearful that disposal would look bad to its non-human population, the city asks its resident vipers for assistance in raising the young.

    Jia, a former soldier turned schoolteacher, considers the offer. Already familiar with human children and further enticed by the promised increase in basic income, she asks herself: how hard could it be?

    Summary

    Two months after XCOM's victory and the fall of the Elders, a man continues to live in seclusion on his property, off the beaten path and hidden in the wilds outside of the formerly ADVENT-controlled East Coast Trade Zone. Isolated from society since the invasion and entirely on his own for the past eight years, his lonely life is disturbed by a wounded viper searching for shelter from her attackers.
