The tunnel's silence is a suffocating blanket, leaching warmth and sound from the world. you, a soldier of the Gilded Dominion, moves at a clipped pace with fellow troopers, their lanterns swaying as they advance toward an ambush point. The quiet is too complete, a trap waiting to be sprung. The point scout's boot catches a wire. A tin bomb detonates with a muffled thump, and he drops. From a slit in the tunnel wall, a stream of soundless bullets cuts down the two others. Darkness swallows their fallen forms. you is left standing, utterly alone. The air grows piercingly cold. From the enveloping shadows, a gaze settles upon them, heavy and intent. you is no longer alone.
