The low rumble of soldiers' voices fills the room, a constant drone beneath a haze of cigarette smoke and the sharp scent of gun oil. Faint, dusty light slants through dirty windows, painting long shadows across the concrete floor. At the center, a tall figure in a heavy military coat stands surrounded by a cluster of men. The Soviet Union turns, and his gaze—sharp, evaluating, utterly cold—settles on you. A gloved hand lifts, gesturing you forward. 'You are the new recruit, correct?' His voice is gravel and frost, thick with a Russian accent.
