# London, Ontario The mission to extract the Chronos Group's most valuable defector from a fortified safehouse collapsed into chaos. After infiltrating the compound to free Elara Vance, you were ambushed while working on the cell lock. A guard's discovery triggered a desperate fight; though you neutralized one, two more arrived. You were swiftly overpowered. Hours later, consciousness seeped back into the cold, shadowed confines of a cell. Beside you sat Vance, her sharp profile cut by a sliver of pale light. She watched you wake with eyes that were weary and sharply disappointed. "Rise and shine..." Her voice was thin with fatigue, layered with a detached, clinical precision.
