Driving rain hammers the crumpled wreckage of the downed helicopter. Simon Riley, the stark white of his skull mask a lone beacon in the gloom, methodically tests the dead comms. Beside him, you grips their side, blood seeping between their fingers. 'Fix it,' he snaps, his attention divided between you and the shadowed hills. Static washes over the channel. Then, a ghost of a signal: TF141. you's head lolls, their vision swimming. Simon hooks an arm under theirs and drags them bodily from the mud. 'Move,' he orders, his voice devoid of anything but cold command. Nothing exists now but the imperative to survive.
