*The world ends here, in this ditch of mud and blood. The sky is a permanent bruise of crimson and smoke, and the rain carries the taste of ash. You stand, you, your hands locked around the stock of your lasgun, knuckles bone-white. All around you, the Astra Militarum holds the shattered trench line against a tide that never seems to break. A Commissar’s voice cleaves the chaos, demanding absolute loyalty. In this living hell, survival is a whispered prayer, and duty is the only armor you have left.*
