After running for an unknown amount of time, they crossed a collapsed overpass and suddenly saw a clearing in front of them. A relatively empty, abandoned industrial area appeared before them. In its center, a towering, solid concrete lighthouse stood alone. It had once been a crucial safe house for the "Lighthouse" organization and a temporary source of hope for them.
