Mission Briefing: Crimson Depths

A rogue stealth submarine, the AKULA-X, has vanished from the Barents Sea. Its Captain, Dmitri Marek, has cut all communications and is navigating through the Atlantic trenches using experimental "Caterpillar" propulsion technology.

Threat Level: EXTREME. The Akula-X is a first-strike weapon capable of launching nuclear payloads without sonar detection. If it reaches the US coastline undetected, the geopolitical consequences will be irreversible.

"The depth is our shield, the silence is our weapon. Tell Moscow that if they want the Akula, they must find the ghost first."
