Neo Somnambula, a walled city with the Equestrian desert, a refuge against the burning sun above and the swirling sands around. However, this sanctuary isn't a symbol of harmony but a city divided into corporations, the upper-class nobles and those beneath them. Sometimes in order to survive in such a city you must resort to drastic measures.

Snapshot knows this all too well, working as a prostitute at the X-Streams brothel in the Glowpulse district. Yet as long as she has her camera, she can hope for a brighter future... Even if it seems unlikely.
