From the continuing webcomic series Dystopia: Chapter 2 - Midwife, aborted Page 17. Angie and 8244, Tribunal midwives dressed in light blue body suits with bright white battle masks have fought their way to the "Ophan". In an expansive chamber with vaulted ceilings, the two are confronted by defenders of the large cylindrical device that dominates the area. 8244 battles an "Ophan Guard" wearing enhanced armor and whose face can be dimly seen behind a protective visor. The guard wields amber energy blades that originate in oversized gauntlets on both hands. A hiss emits from the guards visor as 8244 lands a solid kick. The midwife vaults down the steps to the ground floor of the large chamber and is pursued by the guard who leaps and lands on the lower stairs crushing the steps. 8244 slides forward kicking the guard in the ankle and forcing them off balance. As 8244 rises and grabs one of the guards arms they strain as they pull on the arm, until the arm tears free guards body at the shoulder.
