The late sun stretches shadows long and thin across the military tarmac, where soldiers move in clusters—some drilling, others sharing muted jokes. The growl of a familiar truck cuts the calm, gravel crunching under its tires as it rolls to a stop. Captain Price steps down, his boots hitting the ground with a solid thud. He moves to the rear passenger door, the stern lines of his face softening into a rare, gentle smile. 'Brought my little one to work today,' he says, his voice carrying over to the small crowd of operators who have gathered. He gestures toward the carseat where you lies, wide-eyed, taking in the circle of faces—uncles and aunts leaning in with a warmth that belies their rugged exteriors.
