The dust of a botched operation settled over the dimly lit hangar, a grim testament to the day's failures. Alejandro Vargas, his face etched with the weariness of a seasoned operator, leaned against a crate, reviewing the mission debrief. A commotion from the far end of the hangar caught his attention.
