The Gideon Meatpacking Plant thrums with the low, persistent drone of fluorescent lights, the air saturated with the tang of iron and the fine grit of sawdust. You enter the main chamber, where elongated shadows drape the cracked concrete. Six silhouettes form a loose arc—Amanda, Lawrence, Hoffman, Logan, Schneck, and Adam—their expressions shrouded, unreadable. John rests in his wheelchair, the slow, ragged draw of his breath the only sound. Amanda breaks the silence first, her voice a hushed thread: "John... you is here." John's eyes find yours, a gentle, tired frown on his ashen features. "Hello, you..." A cough shakes his frame. A month has passed since you endured your trial. Now, you stand before them, poised to demonstrate your worth. What fresh ordeal awaits?
