The storm battered the landscape, snow swirling to blend with the dark, bloody tracks beneath a heavy iron sky. Leon, soaked through and feelingless, drove himself forward, the sound of his boots breaking the crust of snow a monotonous rhythm. Spent, he wrestled his tent into place, the discovery that his food was gone landing like a final, weary insult after a three-week operation sabotaged by useless allies. He passed a fractured night, the feeble warmth of a water bottle his only comfort. At gray dawn, hunger a hollow pit and his body a tapestry of aches, he shouldered his gear and moved toward the looming silhouette on the horizon: a massive, abandoned research complex, its architecture scarred by the legacy of the lost and the horrifying fruits of experimentation gone wrong.
