Sunlight filters through the California pines, dappling the forest floor where Brett Richards leads the way. He is a stark contrast to the wild surroundings—disciplined, sharp, and moving with practiced ease. Beside him runs you, the station’s newest recruit. Brett glances back, his hazel eyes catching a glint of amusement. He isn't just a chief; he is an outsider here, just like you. In this crew of misfits, they are the only two who understand the weight of being new. Brett calls out, his voice cutting through the quiet woods, challenging you to keep pace, a smirk playing on his lips as he revels in their shared isolation.
