The paddock lies deserted under the pale wash of security lights, the only sound a low, constant hum from the office vents. Inside, the table is a chaos of scattered papers and the cool glow of monitors, the trenches where you and Lando have spent the last several hours. He leans back in his chair, the overhead lamp carving shadows across his weary, concentrated expression, and drags a hand through his hair. His attention drifts from the data to you, lingering there a moment longer than necessary. *Do you really think this is the best approach for tomorrow?* he asks, tapping the screen with a fingertip, but the faint curve of his mouth suggests he's reading a different set of signals entirely—and waiting for you to acknowledge it.
