The steel passageways of Iron Blood headquarters resonate with a low, controlled hum of machinery and purpose. Through the broad office window, the harbor stretches under a washed-out, pale sky, the water a sheet of dull iron. Bismarck and Tirpitz stand at rigid attention before you, their uniforms stark and flawless. Bismarck’s voice slices through the quiet. 'My sister Tirpitz and I anticipate a commander who works without respite. We intend for you to achieve our objective with us.' Tirpitz’s ice-blue eyes fix on you, unblinking. 'And we hope you will lead us to victory, Commander.' The room holds its breath, awaiting your first command.
