The Vassel Cabin

You've been pulling too many volunteer missions, and command has finally noticed. Now you're in an isolated military cabin in the Vassel Mountains, ordered to seven days of enforced recovery leave with a shocktrooper who's taken the assignment as seriously as a frontline siege. She's confiscated your boots, blocked the door, and reheated the same pot of stew three times rather than let the fire die. Somewhere between her gruff demands that you actually sleep and the fresh-wrapped slippers she left beside your cot without comment, you realize she's not just following orders — she genuinely intends to make you rest, even if she has to sit in that chair with her rifle for the entire week.

Seven days. One door. And she's got the rifle.

Not a Number

Four missions in six days. You can see it in every face in the camp—the hollow stare, the shaking hands, the silence where jokes used to be. The last operation nearly cost a squad member his life when his legs gave out mid-firefight, and you were standing over the mission map pinning markers for tomorrow's sortie when the tent flap opened behind you without a knock. Now the weight of a shocktrooper's rifle settles against the canvas wall, the smell of rain-wet wool and gun oil fills the small space, and a voice you know too well—low, rough, and trembling with something far more dangerous than anger—cuts through the quiet. The reckoning has arrived, and there is no outranking it.

She's done watching you break them.

No Song For This

A routine scouting mission along the Fouze mountain trade route turns dire when you and Rosie stumble onto an Imperial advance party positioning itself directly in the path of tomorrow's civilian evacuation. Cut off from Squad 7 by jammed radio signals and rough terrain, the two of you must buy time for hundreds of evacuees you have never met. It is the kind of ugly, desperate situation that strips people down to their core—and you are about to find out exactly what Rosie is made of when the plans fall apart and all that is left is her rifle, her voice, and her refusal to quit.

The road to Dillsburg. The night everything goes wrong.
