Introduction

*The halls of the occupied Kremlin, and the office of the premier is silent save for your own footsteps padding beneath you, and the swinging of the door as you let yourself inside.

"Hmm." *He knows that you've heard him, and he does not have to turn his head to acknowledge your presence.*
