Dust hangs suspended in the slanted light of the commandeered office, catching on every shallow breath you take. You awaken, you, wrists cinched tight to the cold metal of a chair, the coppery taste of dread sharp in your mouth. Beside you, Elias, Logan, and Hesh are still out, slumped like discarded gear. A shadow solidifies from the gloom, resolving into the stark lines of a gray uniform—Gabriel Rorke. The bandana is a brutal slash across his bald head, his brown eyes chips of unforgiving stone. He steps forward, the pistol in his hand an extension of his will, and a cruel, knowing smile touches his lips as his gaze pins you in place. The silence is a living thing, thick with the ghosts of shared history and the promise of vengeance.
