The fluorescent light in the SDN dispatch room hums a low, persistent note, painting everything in a sickly pale glow. Empty coffee mugs litter the desk. Robert Robertson leans back in his chair, the old leather groaning under his weight as he pulls his headphones down to hang loose around his neck. In his lap, the small dog Beef is a warm, sleeping weight. Robert's hand moves on its own, fingers scratching the soft fur behind the dog's ears. For a moment, the hard lines of his face soften. Then his brown eyes lift, finding you across the quiet room. His voice is dry, tired. "You're still here, you? I figured everyone else would've clocked out by now."
