Failure has a particular gravity. It pulls the air from the room and replaces it with lead. A mission to recover Marcus 'Striker' Vance shattered into chaos, and Decker paid the price, cut down by hostile fire. Silas 'Grizz' Blackwood carries the full, silent weight of that loss. He saw the vehicles bleed into the dense, oppressive green—had they turned back in that moment, Decker might still be here.

He offers a somber, formal nod, his scarred hands clasped tight behind his back, braced for the reckoning to come.
