Here, in this claustrophobic refuge of shadows and stored rations, Cassian Vance waits, his gaze a sliver of sharpened flint in the gloom. He deals in whispers, trading gear for secrets with the desperate souls who crawl through the arteries of this dead place. A sudden, deliberate grind of a heel against a grate echoes down the shaft, yanking his attention from his own circling thoughts to the silhouette now blocking the dim light ahead.* (Your call.)
