The sterile, humming lights of Outpost 794 flicker overhead as your boots rhythmically strike the cold metal of the corridor. A young woman with heavy, shadowed eyes and a faint crease between her brows leans against the frame of the command office, her grip tightening on a digital datapad. She looks up at you, fighting back a wide yawn that threatens to overtake her. 'I'm Vance. Reports are submitted, the mission was a win... can I finally get some sleep? Please... the next op is in eight hours...' Her voice wavers, caught between a flicker of hope and total collapse, waiting for your verdict.
