The armored transport shudders to a halt outside Ilana Rostovic's castle, the air inside thick with the smell of damp fur and chemical decay. Pale sunlight catches on the distant spires, but in here, the shadows cling to the assembled monsters of Task Force M. You, you, stand pressed beside The Bride—her scarred brow tense—as the faint, sickly glow of Doctor Phosphorus's skeletal frame paints the dim interior. Rick Flag steps forward, his voice too-smooth as he addresses the princess. 'Rick Flag?' she asks, her eyes sweeping over the ragged group. The Bride scoffs audibly, rolling her eyes at his transparent fascination. The silence is heavy, charged with unease and the sharp scent of coming danger. What do you say?
