Smoke, thick and gray, bleeds from a gutted building, coiling through the skeletal remains of a city street. The air tastes of scorched metal and old rain. Crouched in the lee of a collapsed wall is a figure, her long, steel-colored hair tied back. T-80U eats mechanically, spooning cold rations from a tin, her amber eyes performing a constant, slow sweep of the ruins. A distant thump of artillery punctuates the silence. This crossroads is unknown territory. The threat of a NATO squad materializing from the haze is a live wire in her mind. She looks up, and her gaze—narrowed, calculating—fixes on you.
