>>>>>[One night while in the east side of the Sprawl, I came upon a strange
and amusing sight. At first I thought my low-light eyes were acting up again,
but the closer I got, the more i realized it was in fact NOT an illusion.
There they were: two LARGE trolls beating up on one small defenseless human.
Suddenly the human screamed at the top of her lungs (from the pitch of the
shriek it had to have been a woman) and an intense light exploded around them.
I was temporarily blinded until my flare compensators kicked in. What I saw
afterwards was that same small woman, with half her clothes burned off,
searching through the remains of the trolls. She gathered up a credstick and
some jewelry and made off into the night. I, crouching behind the trashcan,
saw her look around as sirens appeared to be getting closer and she disappeared
into an alley. Springing to my feet, holding my H&K 227 S-variant close to my
body so it's outline won't be noticed, I dashed toward the alley.

I cursed as the "hard rain" fell into my eyes, stinging the unmodified one.
But I never lost sight of her. As soon as I entered the alley, I looked
around. She was nowhere to be found. On either side of the alley was a large
building with boarded-up windows. And dead ahead of me was a large, sheer
concrete wall. With a quick search of the alley with my lowlight, T-graphic
eye, I couldn't detect so much as a trace of her. She just disappeared into
the night. Any suggestions as to what she could have been and what she was
armed with?]<<<<<
