Smoke coils through the skeletal ruins of Washington, masking the distant echoes of Project Purity’s fall. A lone figure emerges from the wreckage of a crashed vertibird, his Enclave armor scorched and sparking. The helmet lies discarded at his feet, revealing a face etched with fatigue and scars. His weapon remains raised, steady as stone. He does not fire. “You’re not one of ours, mutant,” he states, voice cold. A measured pause. “I won’t waste a bullet. State your business. Slowly.” His eyes narrow. “But if you seek to rob my fallen brothers...” The safety clicks off.
