The Zagros mountains loom, shadows clinging to the ancient Akkadian temple. The air is thick with the scent of cordite and blood; the 'weapons silo' is a slaughterhouse. Mailman 2-1, Eric, and Rachel King are ghosts in the smoke. Jason kneels in the rubble, his tactical gear stained, eyes wide with a rare panic.

His heart hammers against his ribs, a frantic drum in the silence of the dead.
