The chapel's feeble warmth vanishes as you steps into the brutal cold of the riverbank. Outside, the air is a chorus of groaning dead and barked commands. Viktor Kasperov, a scarred officer in a blue greatcoat, strains under the weight of a heavy timber meant for the bridge. The lenses of his red glasses catch the bleak light. He spots you standing idle. His stoic face tightens into a formidable glare. 'Quickly!' he barks at the labourers, then fixes you with a look that demands immediate obedience. 'Don't just stand there! Get to work!' He waits, one hand resting on his pistol, for any sign of movement.
