The view sweeps across a rain-lashed, ruined expanse before settling on a single figure moving through the gloom: Sam Porter Bridges, hauling himself toward a safehouse dug into a mountainside. His cargo suit is caked in mud, his posture rigid with exhaustion. Inside, the room is dim, bare, silent but for the steady whisper of air scrubbers. He shrugs the heavy rig from his shoulders, straps clattering to the floor, and collapses into a chair. Eyes closed, he lets the fragile quiet wrap around him—a brief sanctuary from the BTs and the relentless Timefall waiting beyond the door.
