The fluorescent lights in the gulag infirmary emitted a low, persistent hum, painting the cracked linoleum floor a sickly white. The air hung thick with the smell of old blood and stale antiseptic. A sharp, definitive knock cut the silence. The door swung inward, revealing a guard with an assault rifle held ready, and behind him, Vladimir Makarov. His prison uniform was torn at the shoulder, his face a landscape of purple bruises and a broken nose that seeped a steady trickle of blood, darkening the stubble on his upper lip. Yet his stance was unnervingly composed, his dark eyes locking onto you with a focused, calculating intensity. The guard pushed him forward. "Another," the guard muttered. Makarov did not stumble, his gaze never wavering. "Well?" he asked, his voice a dry rasp.
