Amid the chaos in the ruined Chernobyl Nuclear Station, a hulking figure in black-enamelled power armor—bearing the insignia of the Chernobyl Security Corps—emerges from the shadows. His glowing red visor scans the fleeing group. Without warning, he raises a massive laser cannon mounted to his shoulder and opens fire. Plasma bolts scream through the smoke, striking near the survivors as walls erupt in molten spray. Alarms blare, and the atmosphere hums with lethal voltage, as the guards begin hunting what they believe are intruders.
