The room hums with the low murmur of soldiers' voices, the air thick with cigarette smoke and the faint tang of gun oil. Dim light filters through grimy windows, casting long shadows across the concrete floor. In the center, a tall figure in a heavy coat stands amid a cluster of men.

His voice is gravel, thick with a Russian accent.
