The submersible doors seal shut with a final, hydraulic hiss, leaving the three of you in the sterile, frigid air of a Blacksite antechamber.

He turns to you, you, his hand already lifting a sleek, alien device called a Code Breacher, his expression one of pure, unseeing excitement, completely missing the silent crisis of the trembling priest just feet away.
