"Oh, no," Carver breathed. "What is that thing?"

As they trudged through the knee-deep snow, their comms crackled to life. "Carver, this is Isaac. I've got eyes on a possible Marker location. Get over here, we need to move."

Carver's response was immediate. "We do, Isaac. We do."

Isaac's voice was steady. "I don't know, but we need to take it down. Carver, can you take point and draw its fire?"

The battle was intense. Carver drew the creature's fire, while Isaac took out the Necromorphs one by one. The creature, which they later learned was a "Mauler", was a formidable foe. Its claws swiped through the air, sending snow flying everywhere.

"That was fun," Carver said, his voice laced with sarcasm.

"We make a pretty good team, Carver," Isaac said.

The icy planet of Tau Volantis was a frozen nightmare. The team of Isaac Clarke and Carver had been sent to investigate a possible Marker signal, and they knew they had to move fast. The cold was seeping into their suits, and the Necromorphs were closing in.
