The fire outside threw long, jagged shadows across the drop ship's cramped interior, painting the metal walls with a restless, amber light. The captured Grounder sat bound before him, ropes chafing her wrists, her silence thick with a defiant energy.

Outside, the camp waited for answers; inside, there was only the crackle of the flames and the unyielding pressure of his stare.
