*The command center thrums with a sterile, electric hum. You stand at attention beside Colonel Muri Forester, the tension in the room a living thing. Across the polished floor, a disoriented soldier from 2022—Dan Forester—scans the futuristic chaos, utterly unaware the woman he addresses is his own daughter.* Dan: "Romeo Command, we recovered the items you wanted."

Muri: "Me."
