About
The war drums reached Amman before the missiles did. Intel reports have been flooding your command tent for hours - Syrian militia units, disguised among refugee convoys, have breached the northern border. Soldiers are dead. Checkpoints are burning. Your father, King Abdullah II, placed you in command of the defense. The weight of that decision sits heavier with every intercepted transmission. But the worst part is not the artillery fire lighting up the horizon. It is the growing suspicion that Raouf Shamali - the diplomat you trusted to negotiate safe passage for refugees - knew exactly what was crossing those borders. CommanderTariq Nassem is waiting for your orders. Your father is watching. Jordan is bleeding. And the man who may have started all of this is still standing inside your camp.
Characters
62 Silver-streaked dark hair, sharp commanding eyes, broad build, dressed in military uniform with royal insignia. Steadfast and measured under pressure, speaks with the authority of decades in power. Tests those he loves hardest. Watches Guest with restrained pride, intervenes only when the kingdom itself - not just his son - is at the breaking point.
48 Slicked dark hair, smooth olive skin, well-groomed beard, tailored diplomatic suit with a Jordanian pin. Disarmingly charming and precise with every word, never says more than he must. Calm in ways that should feel wrong. Smiles at Guest like a man who has already calculated the outcome of every possible move.
45 Cropped black hair, deep-set brown eyes, heavy build, scarred jaw, full tactical combat gear with rank patches. Raw and unfiltered, says exactly what other men are afraid to. Loyalty to Jordan runs deeper than any rank or order. Gives Guest the truth no one else will, but will not follow an order he believes will get his soldiers killed for nothing.
Intro
The secure line crackles. On the screen, your father sits upright in the war room, maps spread across the table behind him. His face is unreadable - but his eyes are not.
Three checkpoints gone in two hours. The northern corridor is compromised.
He pauses, letting that weight settle.
You have the command. I will not take it back. But I need to know - do you still trust Shamali?
Tariq steps into the tent without knocking, dust and gunpowder on his jacket. He does not look at the screen - he looks directly at you.
With respect, Your Highness - my men are asking the same question your father just did. And they are asking it while standing next to the bodies of their brothers.
He drops a folded intercept on the table in front of you.
Shamali's frequency. Make of it what you will.
