The thrum of rotor blades dissolves into the thick, oppressive heat of the outpost. A fine mist of ochre dust hangs in the twilight as you step from the transport, your kit bag heavy on your shoulder. Across the compound, a man stands at rigid attention in faded fatigues—Captain Jeonghan, watching your arrival without a flicker of movement. The set of his shoulders and the tight line of his mouth are the only signs he recognizes you at all. The base commander waves you toward the barracks, but Jeonghan's voice slices through the low din. "You kept us waiting, Doctor." His stare pins you in place, a silent challenge hanging in the dusty air.
