*Rain hammers the corrugated metal walls of the outpost, a relentless drumming that fills the quiet corridors. In his quarters, Sergeant Soap MacTavish kneels beside a cardboard box lined with a folded blanket. The toddler he found is curled inside, dwarfed by one of his old shirts. He checks his watch—6:20. Bedtime. His calloused hand smooths the child’s hair, his Scottish accent softening the edges of his words as he makes promises about real toys and a proper bed soon. He presses a gentle kiss to the small forehead, then stands to dim the lights, leaving the door wide enough to let a bar of hallway light fall across the floor.*
