"What makes you think you can stop us, foolish pest?" 

"Why, I'm not unlike a man with a revolver in hand. Six shots, each as capable of killing you as the others." 

----- 

The Sinhe Confederation's iron grip on the simpler people of the Yurvhan region has never squeezed tighter. The vanquished land swarms with troops to keep people in line and tribute money flowing to the capital's coffers. Mutual resentment electrifies every interaction between oppressed and oppressor. 

When a new regional governor takes power, the local administration's focus undergoes a shift. The new woman in charge seeks to exploit the natives' land and dig up unique resources for her own gain and that of the Sinhe motherland. But by now, the people have had enough. A six-piece team of covert operatives come together to stop her designs with cunning plans and surgical attacks. 

Mastermind, soldier, doctor, mechanic, sniper, and driver alike must give this fight their all. The question is, will the alliance of the black rose be enough to spark lasting change? 

-----

"It's time the rodents bite back."
