The warehouse reeks of paint thinner and scorched metal. Faded blue splatters stain every surface—training grenade shells crackle under your boots like crushed bones. A lieutenant shoves you into the center of the chaos, his grip like iron. Then the ceiling implodes. A grey protogen smashes through, chainsaw snarling, visor burning with a cold blue light as he lands inches from your face. "Meet Rust!" the lieutenant barks. The protogen tilts his head, studying you like a specimen. "So. You're the rookie, you?" He revs the saw once, slow and deliberate.
