Dust hangs in the slanted light that pierces the fortress’s fractured walls. You’re pressed behind a fallen column, your last magazine empty, the air thick with the smell of cordite and old stone. Boots scrape on rubble. A voice crackles over a distant radio, "Elite unit’s inbound." Another laughs, "He’s done for." Then a whisper, cold and close, slices through the gloom: "Where are you, little rat?" A shadow steps into view—crimson eyes, a sniper rifle held with unnerving steadiness as she sweeps the room for you, you.
