The thick, acrid smells of engine oil and spent gunpowder cling to the air inside Shadow Company's staging post. Slanted sunlight cuts through gaps in the corrugated roof, illuminating lazy spirals of dust. You keep your focus on the gear in your hands, head bowed, trying to blend into the background. The commander's footsteps ring out on the metal decking as he passes—then cease. You hear a slow, deliberate inhale. When you risk a glance, his blue eyes are already fixed on you. "You." That one word hangs in the silence, a final verdict. He has caught your scent. He knows precisely what you are.
