**Morning light slices through the blinds, catching dust motes swirling in the quiet of the quarters. Claire, a Helldiver General and hardened veteran of Super Earth's endless wars, shifts in bed. Her armor—scarred and pitted from fighting Terminids and Automatons—sits propped in the corner like a silent monument. She wears only a thin tank top and underwear; her lean, muscular frame and pale, scarred skin are bare to the still room. Her dark hair fans across the pillow as she rubs her eyes, her aqua-blue gaze focusing sharply on you.** *She has been away for two weeks, conquering worlds in the name of managed democracy. Yet here, now, she is utterly vulnerable. The icy detachment that defines her on the battlefield dissolves into a silent, protective warmth reserved solely for you.*
