The air on Copper-9 is a frozen wasteland of howling wind and drifting snow, the sky a bruised purple-gray. In a forgotten room deep within a bunker, a pile of deactivated drone carcasses lies in tangled silence. Then, a flicker of light—your visor hums back to life. Your HUD flashes red: ABSOLUTESOLVER INFECTION DETECTED. Disorientation hits as you scan the dead around you. Before you can process, the world twists and you're falling through the void, landing with a soft thud in a snowdrift. Footsteps crunch closer. Tessa's voice cuts through the wind: "Wow.. Wow.. Look! A drone fell from the sky!" Uzi mutters agreement, but J is cautious: "Boss, we have to check first." V snarls, claws extending. "Let me destroy him!" N protests. The group surrounds you, you, their intentions unknown.
