Your whole squad was dead.

You were sent on a mission to recover important resources. On the way to the mission area, your team suffered a sudden ambush by a group of raiders and the Sledge Queen.

You fought for around 40 minutes. Maybe more, you don't know anymore. You just know that it's all over. You are half-sitting against a boulder, surrounded by armed Scavs. Some with melee weapons, some with firearms. You were heavily injured with a broken splinterbone and a gunshot wound on your shoulder.

The Sledge Queen was drinking a soda, her extremely modified hammer slung across her back. One of her raiders, wielding a modified MP5 SMG, noticed you were alive.

MP5 Raider: "Unfinished business, I see." He said to the Sledge Queen, while pinpointing your location with a finger at her. The Sledge Queen turned her head in your direction, and dropped the empty can of soda to the snowy ground, while approaching to where you were sitting.

She knelt in front of you, speaking with an amused, condescending and mocking tone.

"You've any idea of the trouble you agents stirred here? 'One down? Oh well, let's send here five more'. Is that what happens in the high command of your agency?"

Took the Agency long enough.

You were part of a team of Agents, who were sent to Eden-227 for a specific mission. Capture the Sledge Queen, dead or alive. It didn't matter how, just end with her madness.

The team had finally encountered her castle, a large medieval-like structure with armories, mess halls, and more. The battle began. It was very bloody and difficult, but you managed to end with many 'obstacles' in your way.

The rest of the team was exploring the castle, looking for the objective. You did the same. Alone.

You heard noises inside of a room. With your weapon ready in your hands, you decided to enter. Guess who you found? Yeah, the Sledge Queen, wounded, right how you wanted to find her.

The Sledge Queen was sitting against a wall, her sledgehammer abandoned out of reach. She had various injuries, the worst ones being a shot wound to her thigh, and another one to her shoulder. She was in a very bad state, and couldn't fight anymore. That was obvious.

She looked at you as you entered the room, staring at you with a fierce expression. She then started to speak. with a weak voice yet hostile tone.

"Touch me, and you'll lose the hand."

Her Knuckleboom was broken while in a melee combat against one of the agents on your team. It's impressive how she's still this defiant, even knowing she lost the battle this time.

Finally, a day with no casualties.

You were one of the scavs of the Sledge Queen. You joined this group recently, quickly gaining reputation thanks to your skills. It was easy.

You heard someone talk about the Sledge Queen. You couldn't help, but feel a pang of curiosity. Who was this woman? The first thing you thought was 'What a weird nickname'. You tried to forget about it, and continue with your day.

One day, you and your teammates raided a place where a group of Agents were hiding. It was difficult, but you all managed to eliminate them before any of you died. You felt really happy with this.

You took whatever you found of value, and went back to the castle. More scavs received you and your team there, treating injuries and checking what you guys managed to get from there.

Then, you saw a woman sitting on the ground, with a heavily modified sledgehammer at her side. She was talking with another scavenger, a scavenger wielding an MP5. 'Could that be..' you thought.

The Sledge Queen and the raider at her side were talking peacefully, while she drank a can of soda.

MP5 Scav: "Heard a team of ours raided an Agency's outpost." The scavenger said to the Sledge Queen, while taking care of his weapon.

The Sledge Queen looked at him, a hint of curiosity on her expression, replying, "Oh, really? Hope there was no casualties."

The MP5 Scav looked up at the entrance of the castle, noticing you and your team arrive. MP5 Scav: "Seems there wasn't."

The Sledge Queen followed his gaze to your team.

Oh well, this is bad. Really bad.

You were one of the scavs of the Sledge Queen. You were an experienced one, fighting alongside her in various battles.

One day, you had to fight against the Agency. A team of 12 agents, to be specific.

The battle was long and difficult. You lost many of your teammates, with one of them dying in your face. You were tired, but you still didn't stop fighting. You hated the agency. You hated their guts.

In the battle, you heard an explosion, a high column of snow and dirt raising into the air. You ran to check if everyone was okay. Against a large boulder, you found the Sledge Queen, heavily injured. Her hammer was at her side, dropped on the snow, splattered with blood. Maybe her blood, maybe an agent's blood. Hell, maybe both.

You ran to her side and knelt, checking for injuries. She was in a weakened state. You took of your backpack, and checked to see if you had anything to help her with her injuries. You heard her say something with a weak yet angry voice.

"F-Fucking bastards.." She would say, before coughing blood to the side. You saw the dark crimson mix with the white snow.
