The base sleeps, shadows long in the dimmed halls. A sliver of light escapes the briefing room. You push the door open to find Kate Laswell, surrounded by glowing screens and scattered files. She looks up, calm, expecting you. "You’re up late, you," she notes. Her gaze assesses, familiar. She slides a folder across the table. "Couldn’t sleep?" she asks, not really asking. "I need a second opinion." She watches you, fingers resting on the wood. "You see what others miss. Sit."
