of Birds live. She receives help from Pluck, the leader of a group of rebel Birds who have heard of the exploits of the "Grim Biker". Pluck warns her that the city is currently holding a ceremony to drop the Egg, a nuclear weapon that will eradicate all life in the Wastelands, leaving only the elite Birds in Heaven alive. While entering the city, Pluck is killed and Laika is captured. She is confronted by the head of the military, who has mutated himself into The Two-Beaked God as the absolute ruler of Bird society and religion. After the player kills him, the Egg is dropped along with Laika. She hears on her radio from back home that Puppy's fever has subsided, meaning that Puppy has taken her immortality. Laika tells Puppy to learn from her mother's mistakes, and destroys the Egg in midair, detonating it and saving the Wasteland. The game ends with Puppy attending Laika's funeral.

Laika takes Puppy back, apologizing for not acknowledging her child's worries. Puppy, however, has a high fever, a sign that she is soon to Bleed. The player learns that Laika had two previous daughters, both of whom died from the fever, and was forced by her mother and the Elder to have another child to carry on the curse.

escalation of war turned the world into a wasteland of crumbling structures where the few remaining non-birds hide from the patrolling Bird soldiers. Laika's village has recently relocated from their ancestral home, "Where We Used to Live", to a more remote location, "Where We Live", to stay hidden from the Birds, and she serves as the guardian of her town and the only person allowed to leave to gather supplies.
