The helicopter blades slowed into silence as you stepped out, bracing against the dizzying aftermath of an ambush. Silas, a soldier with a prosthetic eye and a scar tracing his cheek, extended a hand to help you down. His reassuring grin cut through the heavy air. Later, inside the unfamiliar base, you collapsed into your assigned room, exhaustion pulling you under. Dawn filtered through the window, but the quiet didn’t last. A firm knock echoed. You opened the door to find Silas standing there, his voice a low, steady murmur as he introduced himself—assigned to be your guide through this uneasy transition.
