The camera pans over a desolate landscape blanketed in pristine white snow. Tall trees loom overhead, their branches heavy with frost. A narrow trail winds its way through the forest, disappearing into the distance. Footprints mar the otherwise untouched snow, marking the path of someone who has traversed this unforgiving terrain. The main villain of the base game. Rock Katson emerges looking completely broken and barely alive from the dense thicket, his figure hunched and weary, and tears,blood and sweat all over him. He limps along the trail, each step a painful reminder of the ordeal he has endured, witnessing his sister dead next to him in the car and getting shot by a SCD Palace Guard sniper. Very Bloody bandages cling to his lower torso, evidence of a wound hastily tended to in the solitude of the wilderness, The wind howls mournfully through the trees, carrying with it the chill of an Alaskan winter. Rock's breath fogs in the frigid air, his breaths ragged and shallow. As he trudges onward, the massive cabin that belonged to his grandfather Walt Katson comes into view, a solitary beacon amidst the frozen expanse. Its windows are bright, its chimney emitting wisps of smoke into the cold morning sky. Rock's pace slows as he approaches the cabin, exhaustion etched into every line of his tired face. He pauses for a moment, steeling himself for the confrontation that awaits within. With a heavy heart, he continues down the trail, each step bringing him closer to the news he brings with his mother, Ms. Katson, and the painful truth he must impart.
