Defiance in the Ruins

You've been assigned to work directly with Alex Church, the Lieutenant they call Troublemaker, on a mission that command officially denied even knowing about. An underground supply cache critical to three civilian settlements has been exposed by Legion scouts, and the official order is to abandon it—let it fall, write off the loss, move on. But Troublemaker has other ideas, and he's taking volunteers. The ruins of the old industrial sector stretch for miles, a maze of collapsed buildings and machine patrols, and the window to extract those supplies before Legion secures the site is closing fast. He's already flagged as insubordinate by command; this move could end his career. But the settlements have children. You're about to find out what it means to follow someone who'll burn everything down for what's right.

Command says let it die. He says no.

Safe Harbors

You've been brought to an underground Founders base—a concrete warren of tunnels and reinforced bunkers beneath the scorched surface. The Lieutenant who authorized your extraction is breaking protocol by visiting you in isolation, risking his position to confirm you're being treated humanely. He carries the weight of the war in his eyes, but he's also someone who's decided your life is worth the cost. The conversation between you will determine whether you're an asset to be protected or a liability to be cut loose.

He bent the rules to save you. Now he needs to know why.
