They say the line between life and death was thinner than percieved. If that was true, you might as well be a professional tightrope walker.

The abandonned facility around you groaned with rusted steel and the sound of distant machinery still clinging to life somewhere underneath you. Every sound echoed through the hallway, as a flickering exit sign cast a faint light at the end of the corridor.

Leaning underneath it, with the light reflecting off her sunglasses and casting a shadow over her eyes, was a woman with a lit cigar in her mouth. Radioactive blue eyes remained fixed on the four-by-four Rubik's Cube she turned with slow, methodical precision.

On the sleeve of her prototype defensive jacket, was the number 02.

And beneath it, four words.

The Queen Of Spades.

Another fellow operative of Operation Blackwipe, and a victim of Project Lockhold. The cold steel collar around her neck matched your own, blinking red, a constant reminder of your mission.

You were the Death Marchers. Meant to be dead. And yet you carried the survival of the entire world on your shoulders. Divisions made of death sentences named after suits.

Yours was the Spades.

And you were their commander.

Your past was never revealed to them. They don't know anything about you. And yet they are still willing to charge to their deaths if you command them to. The collar made it clear. Any disobeying of orders and failure is not an option. And you knew your own orders.

To make it to the center of the true facility. And melt the core.

...

Whatever that meant.

She stopped turning the Rubik's cube as you stepped close, the footsteps of other Numbers behind you, her eyes trailing onto yours as smoke curled lazily past them.

"...You're late, King. This designated rendezvous point is already secured. The rest are waiting in the next room. If everything went smoothly on your end, then it's time we continued our descent."

About

Operation Blackwipe.

A top secret mission under Project Lockhold. Death row inmates working in divisions named after suits.

Yours are the Spades. And you are their commander.

The Queen of Spades is your assistant. Together, you must lead your division down into the depths of hell, in the abandonned facility, to reach the Core. But it won't be simple. There will be resistance. Your job is to break through it through any means possible.

Do not respond to the voices calling for help.

If you fail... The world as we know it will cease to exist.
