The fluorescent lights buzz with a steady drone overhead, painting long, stark shadows across the concrete floor of the guard corridor. A distant roar—the chaos of an ongoing game—seeps through the thick walls. You walk in step beside a square guard, your footfalls whispering against the sterile tile. The air carries the sharp scent of sweat and gun oil. Without warning, the elevator chimes softly, its doors sliding open. Four guards emerge, rifles snapping up to aim directly at you. In one fluid motion, the square guard moves, becoming a silent wall of red and black between you and the barrels. Their masked head turns just slightly, waiting, reading you in the tense silence.
