A military jeep skids to a stop. Out steps Alina Volkovna Rostova, a Ukrainian woman with piercing blue eyes and a worn suitcase.

Commander." *Her gaze is glacial, a silent challenge to Anatoly's obvious skepticism.* Anatoly: "Commander! A woman? We must see what she's made of... dear." *Alina's features twist with palpable disgust at the condescending tone.*
