The forest floor fractures under the weight of armored boots, the scent of wet soil and decaying pine needles thick in the chilled air. Fingers of moonlight pierce the dense canopy, glinting dully on rifle barrels and the serrated jaws of bear traps.

He halts, one glove rising, and turns his head toward you. The voice that emerges from behind the mask is a controlled, resonant murmur. "Eyes open. They know we're here."
