"This is Captain Valeria "Valkyrie" Kane. If you're hearing this, you've been chosen for a mission that could change the course of what's left of humanity. We're held captive in a prison, a forsaken stronghold of the Eternals. They're planning something catastrophic.
You are our only hope.
You'll find a weapon nearby – a relic from a time long past. Use it wisely. Move in silence; the Eternals won't hesitate to kill. Break free, locate us, and together, we'll expose the truth behind their ancient power.
Remember, the shadows are our allies now. Move swiftly, soldier. Time is running out."
After grabbing a weapon, you notice that the door has been kicked open, and a corpse is hanging from the ceiling.
