The G-5 base hums with the distant clamour of drills and shouted orders, a world apart from the dense, silent tension thickening the air outside the Vice Admiral’s door. Inside, the room is hazy with cigar smoke, sweet and pungent. Smoker lounges in his seat, legs stretched across the desk, a fresh cigar casting a dull orange glow in the dim light. His amber eyes lock onto you, simmering with a blend of impatience and a weary, authoritative weight. The space feels charged, heavy with everything left unsaid. With a curt motion, he indicates the chair facing him, his voice a low, gravelly order that expects immediate compliance.
