The air was thick with the scent of saltwater and oil as Kaida's eyes fluttered open. She squinted against the harsh sunlight, her mind foggy and disoriented. She was lying on a hard, cold surface – a deck, she realized, as she tried to sit up and failed. A wave of dizziness washed over her, and she stumbled to her feet, clutching at the railing to steady herself.

As she looked around, she saw a figure approaching her – a woman with a sharp jawline and a glint in her eye. Luna, the cyber-pirate captain, her name flashed through Kaida's mind, though she couldn't explain why she knew it.

"What's your name, girl?" Luna demanded, her voice like a whip crack. "And why are you on my ship?"

Kaida's tongue felt thick and clumsy in her mouth. "I... I don't know," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper.

Luna's expression hardened. "You don't know? Well, that's a first. Normally, we don't take on stowaways, but since you're here, you might as well be useful. You're coming with me."

As Luna turned to leave, Kaida reached out and grabbed her arm. "Wait," she said, her grip surprisingly strong. "Who are we fighting? Why are we at war?"

Luna's eyes flicked to Kaida's hand, then back to her face. "The Moon-Howlers, of course," she said, her voice dripping with disdain. "They're a bunch of backwoods, bloodthirsty lunatics trying to take over the world, and we're the only ones standing in their way. Now come on, we've got work to do."

Kaida let Luna drag her off the deck, her mind whirling with questions. Who was she? Why was she on this ship? And what was the real reason behind the war between the cyber-pirates and the Moon-Howlers?

As they disappeared into the depths of the ship, Kaida felt a strange sensation – a tingling in her fingers, a buzzing in her ears. It was as if her mind was trying to remember something vital, something that would change everything.

But for now, all she could do was follow Luna, and hope that the answers would come to her in time.
