The 'Magnificent Seven' looked around the streets where they would be fighting. None of them spoke. The ambiance weighed heavily on them. Peter looked up at the rooftops that surrounded the streets. Steadman and Rykker also took note of the rooftops. More of the ruined buildings crowded in around them. It was a setting that did not sit well with our heroes."
