The military base breathes a mechanical rhythm—the deep vibration of generators beneath your feet, the crackle of encrypted comms bleeding from an open tent. Under the cold glare of the floodlights, dust motes dance like static. A splash of color moves through the grey: a little girl in a pink dress, weaving between supply crates. Small fingers curl into the fabric of your pants. 'Mister?' Her voice is tiny against the industrial hum. 'I lost my daddy.' You look from her wide, pleading eyes out across the compound, scanning the shadows for the one man who’s never far from her.
