A motley crew of soldiers, officers, and pilots embarks on a perilous trek through the Afghani desert to find Liam Morales. After learning the direction of the mysterious Black Valley by speaking to tribal leaders in Qluuj Khel, the officers realize they need Hyde’s cooperation and agree to bring her along for the expedition. However, Afghanistan is a land fraught with danger, and it isn’t long before the party finds themselves fighting for their lives. As the threats intensify, Hyde must confront the harsh question: how many of her allies is she willing to sacrifice to find her brother? And what will she do when she finally stands before “The Sleeper” in the heart of the Black Valley?

This episode concludes our playthrough of the scenario “Kali Ghati” by Shane Ivey.
