Inside the building, the atmosphere was heavy with an air of authority.
The room was sparse, with only a large table, a few chairs, and a wide map sprawled across the surface. Three individuals stood near the table.
Two men and one strikingly athletic woman.
As Adam stepped inside, the three immediately stood at attention, their backs straight and their arms snapping into salutes.
"Lieutenant Adam, sir!" their voices rang out in unison, firm and resolute.
Adam returned their salute with a nod, his face as stern as ever. "At ease."
The trio lowered their hands and stood relaxed, their eyes subtly shifting toward Noah. Their expressions betrayed their curiosity. It was clear they were assessing the newcomer, their gazes filled with questions.
To them, Noah appeared far too young for the setting, his features and composed demeanour almost jarring against their expectations.
