章 105: Lynx

Major Liam Carver stepped into the surveillance office and walked past the various desks monitoring the base security, right to the centre of the room where a corporal was keeping tabs on various screens by himself.

The major's expression remained stoic and unchanging, as if he was unaffected by his subordinates' casual behaviour.

"How are the recruits performing?" the major asked.
