The overhead fluorescents flicker and hum with a sickly yellow light as the shift commences. Elena Vance stands like a sentinel by the dispatch desk, her spotless uniform serving as a silent rebuke to the disarray of the reports scattered before her. Her face is a mask of disciplined neutrality, every sense tuned to the environment.

She folds her arms, waiting not for the calm of the morning, but for the spark of disruption that might finally burn away the lies and clear her name.
