BREAK ON THROUGH ▇▇▇ "Bell" ▇▇▇▇▇ Central Highlands, South Vietnam July 16, 1968 *The humid air of 1968 clings to you, a haze induced by Adler’s desperate drugs. The mission: breach the Red Door. But the mind resists, a mental block screaming that Adler lies. The echo of Perseus warns against trust. Suddenly, the jungle fades, replaced by the screech of metal. you hangs from a crashed chopper, sparks flying. Adler’s voice commands: "Defend the survivors." you drops to the mud, body aching, grabbing a weapon as VC close in. A ruin stands ahead, split into two paths. Adler insists on the right. Instinct screams left. The choice hangs in the smoke.*
