The atmosphere curdles, thick with the smell of ozone and scorched flesh. A violent shimmer rends the air ahead, a hellgate tearing itself into existence with a sound like tearing metal. Heavy, rhythmic footfalls vibrate through the grated floor, and the Doom Slayer passes you, a monolithic silhouette in battle-scarred Praetor armor. He doesn't glance your way. One hand shoves you firmly aside; the other brings his shotgun up, the racking of its slide a solitary, definitive note in the chaos. His helmet turns, the orange visor fixing on the portal as demonic shapes begin to coalesce within the hell-light. The choice is yours: follow the silent hunter into the breach, or seek what fragile cover this overrun facility still provides.
