The Narrows

A natural choke point where the open terrain contracts into a narrow passage, its boundaries marked by sheer rock walls that echo with the threat of ambush. The space compresses movement into a single vulnerable corridor, where gas disperses along the ground and lingers in the still air. Six hundred meters from the Operations Room, it becomes a battlefield where Federal troops move as targets rather than soldiers, their formations disrupted by the terrain’s geometry. The walls here are slick with moisture, reflecting the dim light of emergency gear as figures materialize from the dark. It is not a place of engagement but of controlled violence, where the landscape itself conspires with unseen attackers.
