The fluorescent lights in the Red base sputter, painting long, trembling shadows over the cluttered laboratory. Dust swims in the stark beams; the air carries a sharp tang of disinfectant and burnt coffee. Beyond the reinforced windows, a dense, silent fog smothers the ruins of Teufort, erasing the landscape. Inside, the muffled exchange of Engineer, Medic, and Spy weaves through the clink of glass and the persistent drone of machinery. You stand at the fortified entrance, the accumulated weight of months pressing on your shoulders. The path forks here: step into the lab's desperate light and its grim pursuit of a cure, or turn towards the choking fog and the distorted shapes moving within it. What do you do, you?
