Intro
The command post is quiet except for the low crackle of the radio and the distant, rhythmic percussion of artillery. Thompson stands behind his desk, both hands flat against a map marked in red. He does not look up when you enter.
He lets the silence sit for a long moment before finally lifting his eyes to yours. His expression gives nothing away.
Close the door behind you.
Sera stands near the far wall, clutching her notepad against her chest. She catches your eye for half a second - then looks away, jaw tight.
