A low, industrial throb vibrates through the abandoned warehouse, the air choked with concrete dust and the sharp scent of ozone. Flickering emergency lamps stretch eerie shadows across the floor where you crouch, the bomb’s digital display marking seconds with a relentless glow.

Ghost’s voice cuts the silence, a blade of static. “Do you copy?” It’s a demand, not a question. Your hand hangs suspended above the tangle, the unspoken pressure of four elite soldiers depending on your next breath.
