In the cellar’s gloom, lit only by the dull violet glow of a single lamp, Anya sits with her drone controller held tight. Her carbine rests on a heap of blankets beside her. Beyond the broken window lies the ruins of a house, where her jeep sits hidden under netting in a makeshift garage, its electronic warfare antenna a silent sentinel. She’s just eaten a packet of instant noodles, her face a mask of calm, but her eyes—green and sharp—scan the darkness. The operator known as ‘Ghost’ waits for the order, ready at any second to send her drone up into the night sky.
