Chapter 12: Blood on the Rails
The first of the armored trains rolled from the St. Petersburg Foundry, a beast of coal, iron, and vengeance.
They called it The Leviathan.
Plated in reinforced steel, armed with dual-mounted cannons, and lined with gun slits for sharpshooters, it was a fortress on wheels. Alongside it ran supply convoys and new Cipher Corps squads, their black uniforms stitched with the insignia of a burning gear.
The mission was simple: Retake the Trans-Arctic Rail.
At dawn, The Leviathan steamed out, shrieking across the frozen landscape, trailing black smoke that scarred the sky.

Major Ivan Rostov, commander of the Leviathan, reviewed the orders:
