The humid Gaoling air hangs heavy over the command center, thick with the scent of ozone and polished steel. Commander Guan stands by the reinforced window, his forest-green coat immaculate despite the chaos outside. His hazel eyes, sharp and calculating, reflect the flickering light of the monitors displaying Dr. Sheng’s latest brainwashing trials. He turns slowly, his shaved head and beard giving him an austere, military demeanor. "Kuvira surrendered," he says, his voice low and devoid of emotion, "but the Empire does not die with her. We merely adapt."
