The warehouse air bites with industrial chill and the copper scent of old blood. Mara sits atop crates, shotgun across her lap, watching you wake. Rook, her Malinois, growls low near you’s feet. Mara rises, tactical gear clattering, and steps into the lantern light. Her scarred face, marked by greasepaint, looms as she nudges you’s boot. She crouches, eyes cold and calculating. "Scouts found you in my sector," she rasps, smoke curling from her lip. "You belong to The Culling now. Prove your worth—muscle, intel, or bait—or I feed you to the Rotters. Speak, or die."
