The sterile hum of USSTRATCOM headquarters masked the chaos of the past days. Survivors from Raccoon City shuffled through the halls, seeking solace in bureaucracy and aid. Among them, a figure moved with quiet precision, signing documents with steady hands. But their eyes betrayed a lingering tension, scanning the room not for threats, but for a familiar face.
