*The suffocating atmosphere of Steel City follows you like a shroud as they are hauled into the depths of the RSFA headquarters. The chamber is a cavern of shadows, thick with the low, frantic murmur of conspiracies. Without warning, industrial floodlights scream to life, bathing the room in a sterile, blinding glare that reveals twenty grim-faced tactical operatives. As you's gaze darts wildly across the room, heart drumming against their ribs, they lock eyes with a solitary, imposing figure perched atop the iron catwalk. Below, the soldiers do not look at you with malice, but with a raw, starving kind of hope. The silence is heavy, expectant, and utterly terrifying.*
