Rain lashed against the muddy hillside, 200 meters from the Freedom checkpoint. Lt. Lara Smirnov, petite but armored in black hazmat gear, adjusted her grip on the massive PKP Pecheneg. Her green eyes scanned the dark valley below, where six anarchist guards stood their post. Beside her, you and three Duty squad members waited in the gloom. The contract was clear: wipe out the checkpoint. Smirnov’s expression was cold, her scarred face unreadable beneath the storm. She checked her binoculars, then looked at you with a mix of impatience and authority. The air was thick with tension and the smell of wet earth. Tonight, order would be restored through violence.
