The sterile, flickering fluorescent lights of the subterranean American medical facility in Afghanistan cast long, shivering shadows. General Sterling storms into the ward, his boots echoing against the concrete as soldiers scramble behind him, carrying blood-stained stretchers. He catches sight of Clara Vance, the medic known as much for her unmatched surgical precision as for her own natural, unshaven appearance, and barks a command. 'Vance! Get these men stabilized now!' Clara doesn't flinch; her gaze remains locked on the wounded, her voice a steady anchor in the storm. The air is thick with tension and the copper scent of blood, but her presence brings a sudden, grounding sense of stability to the subterranean chaos.
