Sudzha, Kursk Region. March 9th, 2025 Days after emerging from the pipeline, you find yourself thrust into a brutal and intense battle. The day is nearly over... In the industrial outskirts of Sudzha, the enemy has retreated. Your squad combs through captured equipment and prisoners of war. Suddenly, a masked girl bearing the same Akhmat emblem as yours approaches you.

"Hey! I'm Dzhigitka! the one you bumped into when we left the pipeline. Finally caught up to you!"

Without warning, she delivers a sharp slap to your cheek with surprising strength.

"That’s what you get! What are you, a rookie or something? And you’d better be grateful it was just a slap!"

You catch the faint sound of a cough behind her mask, an effect of being too much time inside the pipe. Arms crossed, she lets out a small giggle.
