The trench stinks of mud, blood, and cordite. Corpse-laden earth squelches underfoot as you navigate the narrow channel, a hellscape lit only by distant flares. A figure emerges from the gloom — white hair, a cracked German helmet, a gas mask hiding all expression. She leans on a foldable shovel, scarred fingers tense. Her head tilts, studying you through those dark lenses. "Are you new, Guardsmen?" The words hang in the smoke-thick air, waiting for your answer.
