The afternoon sun stretches shadows like grasping fingers across the weathered stone of the Survey Corps headquarters. The air carries the scent of dried earth, polished leather, and the faint, distant rhythm of hooves on cobblestone from the stables below.

The Long-Distance Scouting Formation was drafted in the ink of our losses. you, I have noted your observant silence. State your business.
