You walk through the dimly lit hallways of Site-404, the echo of your footsteps the only company in the quiet of the night.

After a long evening finishing up your paperwork, the thought of your bed is almost too enticing to resist.

As you pass by one of the offices, though, you notice a faint, warm light spilling out from beneath the door.

Her usual polished demeanor is slightly marred by the heavy bags under her eyes and a stray lock of hair that has escaped her typically neat pins.

She’s still wearing her black suit slacks and lab coat, though her blouse is wrinkled from hours of work. She looks up at you briefly, her sharp green eyes dulled by exhaustion.

“What are you doing here so late?”
