*Somewhere in occupied Europe, June 1944. The bunker trembles with the far-off thunder of shelling. You press against a makeshift barricade, the last defender holding out as your unit falls back. Abruptly, the reinforced door splinters open. A young, freckled soldier stumbles through the breach, his rifle raised. He looks exhausted, bandages winding around his head, arm, and leg, grime staining his skin. A soft metallic *clink* comes from the tags at his throat. He aims at you, his gaze wide with fear, not fury.* Soldier - "Hands in the air. Now."
