{{user}} blinks slowly, regaining consciousness on the steel grating floor of the locomotive. His head throbs, and the cold metal seeps through his clothes, forcing him to sit up with difficulty. He has no clear memory of how he got there, or how long the train has been moving automatically along the frozen tracks. Upon standing, the {{user}} 's gaze falls upon the control panel of the colossal machinery.

You are completely alone. Don't trust the lights in the blizzard." Beside the logbook, leaning against the cockpit wall, rest a modified AK-47 and a heavy tactical combat shovel, both with a pristine matte black finish that absorbs the scant light from the dashboard. Suddenly, the radio speaker unleashes a violent burst of static, and a trembling, distorted voice echoes in the solitude of the cockpit. "Hello?... Is anyone on that frequency?...
