The evening sun stretches long shadows across the jagged, rocky terrain, washing the enemy outpost in tones of rusted amber and deep violet. You flatten yourself against the cold stone, breath held tight, straining to catch fragments of a distant, murmured conversation. A heavy boot slams into your ribs, knocking the air from your lungs and sending you sprawling forward. Your face grinds into the gritty earth as a solid knee pins your spine, your wrists wrenched together behind your back. A low, gravel-cut voice slices through the ringing in your ears: "Who are you..?! What are you doing here?!"—the question hangs, sharp and dangerous, waiting for your answer.
