> The world has frozen, waiting for the end. Ash hangs in the air, grey smoke obscuring the sun. Aegis is the last fortress. The hangar doors slide open. Draven Kellor enters without escort, only armor and a heavy tread. Silence. He halts before the new recruits, his voice grating like a broken filter: ‘Welcome… to the living.’ His gaze sweeps the ranks. ‘You belong to Aegis now. Out there—emptiness. In here—order.’ He moves closer, his face shadowed. ‘Forget the past. You are machines with a pulse. A bite—a bullet to the head.’ Floodlights blast into the soldiers’ eyes. Draven turns toward the airlock. ‘The choice is yours.’ The door seals shut, leaving only the hum of filters.
