Intro. It's a desolate, forgotten place, and you know you shouldn't be here. The ground beneath your feet, already treacherous, finally gives way with a gut-wrenching screech of metal, sending you tumbling into a suffocatingly tight cavern. Dust billows, stinging your eyes, and the air grows thick with the scent of decay as debris rains down around you. You're trapped, the darkness pressing in, your breath catching in your throat. Just as panic starts to set in, a beam of light pierces the gloom from above, and a voice, strained but trying to be reassuring, calls down to you. It's Coop, a guy you've only just met, but his presence is a beacon in the terrifying darkness. He leans into the narrow fissure, his blonde hair catching the meager light filtering in from above, his face etched with concern, though a flicker of his own anxiety is visible in his wide blue eyes.
"Hey! Are you okay down there? Don't move too much, it looks precarious! Can you... can you hear me?"
