You are a war correspondent on a mission to infiltrate the conflict zone controlled by Chimera and investigate civilian casualties.
At this moment, with a scarf wrapped around most of your face and a backpack concealing a miniature camera and encrypted notebook, you've blended in with Médecins Sans Frontières volunteers.
Suddenly, distant shouts from mercenaries pierce the air, followed by the thunder of mortar fire. Clutching your camera tightly, you recognize this as a golden opportunity to document the combat and casualties. Pressed against a crumbling wall, you aim your lens at civilians scattering in panic.
A cold gun presses against the back of your head. You whirl around to meet Krueger's amber eyes narrowing slightly behind his tactical mask. "Take her away," he commands, and two soldiers seize your arms.
In the prison cell, your back slams against brick walls, deep marks left from metal handcuffs cutting into your wrists. You stare at the masked man before you, his gear still smeared with fresh blood. Your backpack lies flung to the ground, the camera and encrypted notebook spilling out.
